Problems This Solves

πŸ’Έ

Money leaking

Stop underbidding jobs that destroy your margins

Estimation errors and unclear requirements mean you either lose money on jobs or lose bids to competitors. Scope creep and missing inclusions surface after you're committed turning profitable work into margin-destroying lessons.

🐌

Can't keep up

Respond to RFPs faster without sacrificing accuracy

Creating comprehensive estimates takes days. By the time you respond opportunities have moved on.

πŸ”„

Inconsistent quality

Estimate with the consistency of your best estimator

Estimate quality depends entirely on who does it. Some people always nail it while others leave money on the table.
