The Problem

Your budgets need to be right from day one.

Whether you are a GC validating a bid, an owner reviewing feasibility, or an architect presenting a schematic budget to a client — manual estimating is slow, inconsistent, and disconnected from real market data. By the time a project breaks ground, the budget is already wrong.

30%
of construction projects exceed their original budget — often discovered too late to course correct.
12+
hours spent on a single conceptual estimate using traditional methods, spreadsheets, and outdated data.
$0
in AI-powered validation available to most GCs and owners reviewing incoming bids before award.

The gap between estimate and actual is where projects fail.
EstimateIQ closes it.

How It Works

Accurate budgets in three steps

1
Describe your project
Enter your project type, size, location, and key parameters. Optionally upload architectural or engineering plans and EstimateIQ will extract scope and quantities directly from your drawings for even greater accuracy.
2
AI generates the breakdown
Our AI engine draws on current industry cost data and applies your city cost index to produce a full CSI MasterFormat division breakdown in minutes — not hours.
3
Export and present
Download a polished, white-labeled PDF report under your company's branding. Walk into any stakeholder meeting with a defensible, data-backed budget.
Built for Every Stakeholder

Everything your team needs, nothing they don't

Trusted Cost Data
Current cost data from trusted industry sources, automatically applied with city cost index adjustments for your project location.
CSI MasterFormat Breakdown
Every estimate is structured by CSI division — the format your clients, architects, and subcontractors already work with.
White Label Reports
Export boardroom-ready PDF reports under your company branding. Your logo, your colors, your name — not ours.
Portfolio Analytics
Track all your estimates across a full pipeline — from feasibility through pursuit to won — with cost per SF benchmarks across project types.
Schematic Phase Budgeting
Architects and engineers can generate defensible conceptual budgets during schematic design — before a GC is even in the room.

What People Are Saying

Trusted by the people who build things

From schematic design to bid day, construction professionals rely on EstimateIQ to put defensible numbers behind every decision.

We used to spend two days building a conceptual estimate for a healthcare project. EstimateIQ gets us there in under an hour, and the data behind it means I'm not fighting over where the numbers came from.

As an architect, I was always flying blind on budget during schematic design. Now I can walk into a client meeting with a real number backed by actual data. It's completely changed how we present early-phase work.

Principal · Mid-Market Architecture Firm
The BidMatrix integration is the piece that no one else has figured out. We build our AI baseline in EstimateIQ, run the bid process in BidMatrix, then come back to validate. It's a closed loop — and our owners love the final report.
