AI Estimator · Contractors

Meet V-Estimate.

Bid-quality estimates without a full estimating department. Upload drawings and specs; V-Estimate takes off quantities with sheet references, prices labor with your crew rates and productivity, adds materials, equipment, subs, general conditions and markup, and hands you an Excel estimate with live formulas, clarifications and a bid-day checklist.

V-Estimate is an AI assistant. It remembers your company profile and past work (see what your agents remember). Documents it produces are drafts for your review; anything that needs a licensed professional — a PE stamp, an attorney, a CPA or your site's competent person — must be reviewed by one. New contractors get $8 of free usage; after that you pay as you go.

What V-Estimate does

Bid-ready workbook

Calibrated to you
