The problem

Manual estimates work until a bigger bid turns the spreadsheet into a mess.

Small specialty subs often know the work cold, but every bid still means copying old sheets, retyping line items, checking formulas, and hoping labor, material, waste, markup, and alternates all tie out before the deadline.
How it works

Up and running in minutes. Nothing to rip out.

1

Pick a trade workbook

Start from steel, masonry, door, or specialty-trade layouts instead of a blank sheet.

2

Enter quantities and rates

Line items tie material, labor, waste, markup, and alternates into one bid total.

3

Export a cleaner bid

Use the summary tab to review scope, assumptions, exclusions, and the number you are sending.

Why teams want it

The obvious, affordable choice.

◆

Built for hand estimators

No heavy takeoff platform or setup call. Just a workbook structure for shops already using spreadsheets.

◆

Trade-specific line items

Each pack starts with real estimating categories, not a generic contractor budget template.

◆

One-time purchase

A small digital pack you can inspect, buy once, and adapt to your bid process.
