Estimates that become the budget.
Price drawing quantities with your own unit costs, then turn the approved estimate into the project budget without entering it again.
See exactly where each estimate stands.
Price every line from a shared unit-cost library, so the number doesn't depend on who built the spreadsheet.
Illustrative estimate worksheet and cost catalog views with sample project data, shown for layout purposes.
An estimate is the starting point, not the finish line.
A winning estimate should become the project budget without re-entering a single line item. Buildend carries the number forward.
Built on your own cost data.
Built from your takeoffs
Pull measured quantities straight from your takeoffs into estimate line items.
Unit-cost library
Keep company unit costs built from your own project history, and update labor and material prices as the market moves.
Markup & contingency control
Apply markup and contingency by cost code, and see the effect on the total instantly.
Subcontractor bid comparison
Compare incoming trade bids against your estimate, side by side, by scope.
Converts straight to budget
Turn the approved estimate into the project budget with the same cost structure, without re-entering a line.
Structured estimates
Keep quantities, unit costs, and totals in one cost structure, so reviewers can see how the number was built.
Ask Buildend how this estimate compares to similar past projects, cost code by cost code.
Fewer estimating blind spots.
Estimate from real data
Your own historical costs inform every new estimate, not a guess.
Price work consistently
Everyone prices from the same library, not their own spreadsheet and assumptions.
Win the job, keep the number
The project starts from the approved estimate, so the budget doesn't drift from the number that won the job.
Moving from emails and phone calls to Buildend has made our projects far more organized and helped our team stay aligned on what's happening in the field.
