Services

What services do you offer?

Construction estimating (priced, line-item estimates), quantity takeoff (measured quantities with marked-up drawings) and bid proposals (scope, exclusions, clarifications and terms, ready to send).

Which trades and project types do you cover?

All CSI trades and project types, residential and commercial, new construction and renovation, in all 50 states.

How fast is turnaround?

Most projects are delivered in 24 to 48 hours. We confirm the due date for large or complex projects before you pay.

What do I need to send?

The plan set (PDF is best), specifications if available, the trades or scope you need, and your bid due date.

Plans and payment

How is my price set?

By project size (up to 10,000 sq ft, 10,001 to 25,000 sq ft, or over 25,000 sq ft) and the services you choose. See the pricing page for current prices.

Do unused subscription projects roll over?

Yes. Unused projects carry over to the next month while your subscription is active.

How can I pay?

By ACH bank transfer or a secure payment link. Your invoice shows the available options.

Free tools

Are the tools really free?

Yes. Use them as much as you like. Downloading a PDF or Excel result needs a verified email, which creates a free account.

Do you see the numbers I enter?

No. Calculations run in your browser and your inputs are saved only there. When you download, we record the tool, file type and title for your download history.

Will I get marketing emails?

Only if you ask for them: by ticking the separate marketing box on a form, or by subscribing in the site footer. Marketing emails include new tools, estimating tips, and promotional messages and offers. Every one has a one-click unsubscribe link.
