Questions

Frequently asked questions

What can AI do in a construction estimate?

AI can help organise project information, draft scope and identify likely materials or labour items for review.

Will AI give me a guaranteed project price?

No. Contractors should verify quantities, specification, site conditions, rates and scope before issuing any estimate or quotation.

Can I edit AI-generated information?

The intended workflow keeps the contractor in control so generated information can be reviewed and adjusted.

Can EstiMate work from drawings?

EstiMate includes AI-assisted take-off functionality intended to help contractors work from project drawings and information.

Estimate faster. Run the job. Protect your margin.
