WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Get instant AI-powered construction cost estimates for any project, from a single deck or fence right up to a full new home build, duplex or commercial fitout.
• Choose your country and city for prices that actually reflect your local market: US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and most of Europe supported.
• Pick a quality level (Budget, Standard, Premium or Luxury) and the AI adjusts material grades and finish costs accordingly.
• Save your estimates and come back to them anytime.
• Turn any estimate into a professional, branded quote or invoice in seconds. Add your logo, business details, GST/VAT and payment terms.
• Use Quick Invoice to dictate or type a one-line job description and let the AI draft the whole invoice for you - then edit and send.
• Track every invoice as Paid or Unpaid in one tap so you always know who still owes you money.
• Stay ahead of the market with the built-in Construction News agent, which streams live AI-curated headlines on material prices, labour costs, regulations and industry trends for your region.
