Overview
Estimator+ is where a tender lives while your team prices it. One project holds everything from the drawings landing in your inbox through to the price you submit — there's no separate spreadsheet or takeoff file to keep in sync.
The four surfaces
A tender moves through four surfaces, in order:
- Takeoff — upload drawings, measure quantities off them, and build the ledger: the itemised list of everything you're pricing.
- Quote Comparison — enter subcontractor quotes and compare them side by side against your ledger, trade by trade.
- Review — check margins, totals, and the shape of the price before it goes out.
- Submission — produce the document you send to the client.
Everyone working the tender is in the same project at once. A measurement your colleague draws, a quote they enter, a line they re-price — it all appears for you in real time. There's no separate copy to merge later, because there was only ever one. That matters most in the last few days before a deadline, when the estimator, the person chasing quotes, and whoever's finalising the submission are often all in the project together.
Bring your own AI agent
You can connect your own AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, or anything else that speaks MCP — directly to a tender, through the Intelligence Bridge. Your agent reads the drawings, the ledger, and the quotes the same way you do, and can draft scope or measure quantities under your direction. It's your agent, on your subscription, working inside your data. See What the Intelligence Bridge is.
Getting around
Outside a tender, the dashboard rail is how you move around:
- Projects (/projects) — every tender your company is running.
- Address Book — subcontractors and clients you've dealt with before.
- Intelligence Bridge (/connector) — connect and manage AI agents. Not shown on viewer seats.
- Admin — company settings, trade names, members and billing.
