What is the use of Estimatic AI?

Estimatic AI helps contractors speed up and automate the process of creating detailed estimates for construction or service jobs using live supplier pricing and actual labour data.

What Can You Do With Estimatic AI?

With this AI tool for contractors you can:

• Upload jobsite photos, blueprints or drawings to give the tool context.
• Input what you need an estimate for (e.g., “12×16 deck with pressure-treated lumber and upgrade to composite boards”), and let the tool generate the estimate.
• Use your own cost-book (your usual line items, markups, labour rates) so the output matches your usual estimate layout. 
• Leverage live supplier pricing (for example from large retailers) and local labour rates so your estimate reflects current costs.
• Review, tweak or override any line item generated by the AI-you remain in control.
• Send the estimate directly to your client (with e-signature if needed) faster than traditional methods.
• Use fewer hours for estimating so you can bid more jobs, reduce underbidding and improve win rates. 

Key Features of Estimatic AI

Here are the main features of this contractor estimating AI:

• Photo/Blueprint Upload: You can upload photos, drawings or blueprints to feed the AI context about the job.
• Cost-Book Integration: Use your own list of line items, your materials, your standard tasks so the estimate aligns with your business.
• Live Supplier Pricing: It pulls real-time material pricing from major retailers/suppliers so your bid is based on current market data.
• Local Labour Rate Index: It uses local labour cost data so your estimates reflect the real cost of labour in your area.
• Editable Output: Even though the AI generates a draft, you can review, tweak or override any line item or markup.
• Automatic Formatting & Itemised Estimate: The output is ready-to-send, with your brand and your format, ready for client presentation.
• Integration with Contractor+ Ecosystem: Since it’s built into Contractor+, the estimate links with your CRM, jobs, scheduling and invoicing.

Here are some clear benefits of this AI tool for contractors, in simple words:

• You save time: Instead of building an estimate from scratch, you get a draft in minutes.
• You reduce mistakes: Since pricing is live and labour rates are local, you avoid under-bidding or mispricing.
• You look professional: The itemised estimate is ready to send, which builds trust with clients.
• You win more jobs: Faster estimates + accurate pricing mean you respond quicker and more confidently, which helps you stand out.

Tips and Best Practices for Estimatic AI

To get the most out of this construction estimate AI tool:

• Make sure your cost-book (your list of line items, mark-ups, materials) is up to date before you use the AI — this ensures the output matches your usual business.
• Provide good visuals or drawings when you upload jobs (photos/blueprints) so the AI has clear context-better inputs = better estimates.
• Use the editable feature: always review the draft estimate to check if assumptions make sense (material type, quality, optional upgrades).
• Monitor how many AI credits you use (if on the 10-credit plan)-use them for your most important bids.
• Compare your historical estimates and actual job costs: over time you’ll learn how to fine-tune your markups and assumptions inside the AI.
• Train your team (if you have one) on how the AI output links with the rest of your workflow (CRM, jobs, invoicing) so nothing slips.
• Use the speed advantage strategically: send estimates quickly after a lead inquiry to increase your closing chances.
