Estimate Builder

The problem

Spreadsheets take hours and break the moment a client asks for a change
It's easy to miss labor, material, or sub costs buried in an old template
You don't find out your real margin until you're already mid-project

How BidRunnerPro helps

Build a full estimate in minutes with unlimited line items, organized by section
Every item tracks labor, material, and subcontractor cost separately
Profit margin recalculates live as you type — never send a bid blind

Two ways to estimate

Estimate your way

Work by trade category for a full custom home, or switch to room-by-room mode and let dimensions size your quantities automatically. Use whichever approach fits the project in front of you.
