What it does
Builds a line-item estimate draft from a written job description
Reads a job description (scope, site notes, any known materials) and returns a structured estimate draft: line items split across labor and materials, a subtotal, a contingency, and the assumptions baked into the number. The output is a first pass, not a final quote. It surfaces the math and the assumptions in a shape a human can review, adjust, and finalize.
When you’d reach for it
- ▸Producing a draft quote from a written scope before a site visit so the conversation starts with a number on the table.
- ▸Generating rough estimates from inbound service-request descriptions so the dispatch queue has triage context before scheduling.
- ▸Seeding initial bid scopes from an RFP description for a subcontractor responding to a request for proposal.
