Nothing for 14 days, and you don't need a card to start. After that, plans start at $49 a month. That's for all of BuildrHub, not just estimates. Quotes, jobs, invoices and the rest of the app come with it, and your estimates are already in there. If it's not for you, just stop using it.

Where do the prices come from?

It fills in sensible starting prices so you have a number to work from straight away. Swap in your supplier's prices and your labour rate, and every total updates.

Do I need to set anything up first?

No. Describe a job and it builds the estimate. Add your logo and business details when you're ready to send the quote.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, it runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install. It's easier on a laptop or desktop though, where the estimate and the chat sit side by side. Start on whatever you've got, and pick it up on the other later.

Why does it ask me questions?

A one line job description leaves out things that change the price, like access, ground conditions or finish. When it needs to know, it builds a short form. Tap an answer, type your own, or let it decide. The more it knows, the closer the estimate.

Can I run the rest of the job in it?

Yes. Every estimate is a job in BuildrHub. Open the full app to schedule the work, track costs and send the invoice.
