You spend hours building estimates — often at your kitchen table after a full day of work. By the time the bid is done, the lead may have gone with someone faster. Traditional estimating software still requires manual line-by-line assembly. Clear Estimates gives you a smarter starting point — flexible inputs, real pricing, and full control to make it yours.
Drop in site photos, an architect's plan set, or a scope PDF from the homeowner. The AI reads what's there and builds an estimate around it — no manual data entry required.
Adjust quantities, swap materials, change labor rates, set your markup, and add or remove parts. The AI gets you to 90% — you stay in full control of the final number.
Override default material and labor costs, save your own custom parts and templates, and lock in markups by category. The AI uses your library — so every estimate sounds and prices like you.
Describe your project. Get a complete, priced estimate. It's that simple.
Type your project description in plain language — just like you'd explain it to a client or crew member.
The AI pulls from real, localized cost data — not AI-generated prices. It organizes 12,000+ items across 400+ U.S. pricing areas, updated quarterly.
💡 The AI doesn't generate prices. It organizes real cost data you can trust.
Full control to adjust quantities, swap parts, edit pricing, and customize markups. Then send a branded PDF proposal directly to your client.
Watch the full AI Scope Assistant workflow — from project description to professional proposal.
ChatGPT generates language. It can write a scope of work, but the line items, quantities, and prices it invents don't reflect real material or labor costs in your market. Clear Estimates is grounded in 1.5M+ real estimates from real contractors over 20+ years nationwide. Our AI doesn't make up parts or prices — it builds the scope of work, then maps your local pricing to produce an accurate estimate.
The AI Scope Assistant pulls from the same cost data that powered Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report for years — built for residential contractors, not general-purpose chatbots.
