Every Feature EstiMate Has.
Explained Clearly.

Every tool. What it does. The problem it solves. Who it's for.

Built for
Who It's For

Wherever you are in the game,
EstiMate closes the gap.

Whether you're figuring out how to price your first deal or you've done 200 and still lose hours building scopes — the problem is the same. The number takes too long and it's never accurate enough.

Wholesaler
Just Starting Out

You have no idea what a rehab actually costs. You're guessing or using someone else's numbers. One bad estimate and your buyer walks, your seller loses trust, and the deal dies. EstiMate builds the scope for you from photos — no construction knowledge required.

Experienced

You know how to price a job — but it takes you an hour per property, and you're still leaving out consumables, permits, and dumpsters. You need a defensible number fast enough to make same-day offers. EstiMate produces it in minutes with photo evidence attached.

Investor
Just Starting Out

You know what ARV means but you're still using a spreadsheet and a gut feel for repairs. Your MAO calculation is only as good as your repair estimate — and right now that number is a guess. EstiMate gives you a real, itemized cost before you make the offer.

Experienced

You've lost money on deals where the rehab came in 30% over. You know the number matters but building it accurately takes time you don't have. EstiMate lets you run flip vs rental scenarios on the same scope and know your MAO before you leave the driveway.

Contractor
Just Starting Out

You're still pricing from memory and sending quotes that come back to bite you. You forget consumables, underestimate labor, and your proposals look like a text message. EstiMate builds a complete, professional scope from your walkthrough photos — priced against your actual rates.

Experienced

You spend 3 hours building every estimate by hand. Skilled at the work, buried in admin. EstiMate cuts that to minutes — AI builds the scope from photos, splits material and labor automatically, and generates trade-specific bid packages for your subs without you touching a spreadsheet.

Agent
Just Starting Out

A buyer points at the dated kitchen and asks what it would cost to renovate. You have no idea. You say "I'll find out" and the moment passes. EstiMate lets you pull out your phone, snap a photo, and have a real repair estimate on the spot — making you the most informed person in the room.

Experienced

You know the objection that kills your deals: the client gets scared by the renovation scope and walks. EstiMate generates an AI visual of the finished room from the current photo — so instead of a number that sounds scary, they see the outcome. Certainty closes deals that doubt kills.

AI Rehab Estimator
ProblemEvery deal dies in the same place: slow walk-throughs, messy notes, “I’ll price it later,” and rehab numbers that get guessed instead of proven.
FixAI Rehab Estimator turns property photos into a structured scope—fast. Not a checklist. Not a spreadsheet. A real scope you can edit, price, and ship to the next person in the chai…
InvestorWholesalerContractorAgent
True AI Scope Generation
ProblemChecklist tools don’t build real scopes. They build “maybe” lists—and you still end up manually translating everything.
FixAI Scope Generation converts visual evidence into structured line items with categories, units, quantities, and scope notes—so the scope is born organized.
InvestorWholesalerContractor
Visual Measurements From Photos
ProblemMeasuring every wall and room is slow—and it’s one of the biggest reasons estimates happen “later.”
FixVisual Measurements can infer usable dimensions from photos when imagery provides enough context—feeding quantity math for paint, flooring, drywall, and trim without manual tape wo…
InvestorContractor
No Manual Entry Required (But Manual Is Supported)
ProblemMost tools force manual entry as the default workflow—so speed is impossible and consistency is fragile.
FixAuto-first scope creation when speed matters. Manual control when precision matters. EstiMate treats manual entry as an option—not the foundation.
InvestorWholesalerContractorAgent
AI Visual Certainty
ProblemHomeowners don’t argue with line items because they’re “difficult.” They argue because they can’t visualize the outcome.
FixAI Visual Certainty turns a “Before” photo into a photorealistic “After” preview—so the estimate becomes a story clients can understand, not a spreadsheet they fight.
ContractorAgent
AI Visual Certainty
ProblemClients hesitate when they can’t picture the finish. That hesitation costs you closes and upsells.
FixAI Visual Certainty generates photorealistic “after” visuals from “before” photos so clients instantly understand what they’re buying.
ContractorAgent
Estimation & Pricing
6 features
REILink SKU Library
ProblemMost tools price using national averages or generic “per sqft” math—then act surprised when the real bid blows up your numbers.
FixThe REILink SKU Library is your pricing backbone: your labor rates, your material SKUs, your units, your attributes—so EstiMate runs your business math automatically.
InvestorContractor
Dual Pricing Intelligence
ProblemOne pricing style can’t serve everyone. Investors want speed. Contractors need exact margin math. Agents need clarity.
FixDual Pricing supports AI market retrieval for speed and contractor-aligned SKU pricing for precision—so the same file works across the ecosystem.
InvestorContractor
Deal Math Engine
ProblemDeal math breaks when rehab is wrong. One optimistic estimate can wipe out an entire project.
FixDeal Math connects rehab scope to offer price logic so you can pressure-test your numbers before you commit.
InvestorWholesaler
Investor Math Without Spreadsheets
ProblemDeal analysis fails when rehab costs are guesses. One bad rehab number turns a “winner” into a loss.
FixDeal Analysis turns structured rehab scope into decision math—so your offer strategy is based on reality, not optimism.
Investor
Taxes & Cost Attributes
Problem“Close enough” totals are how margins die. Taxes, waste, and rule-based costs are usually missing—or buried in “misc.”
FixTaxes & Attributes lets line items carry real cost logic—taxable vs non-taxable, waste factors, labor/material splits—so your total reflects what actually happens.
InvestorContractor
10,000+ Line Item Library
ProblemMost tools have a short checklist. Real construction has depth—and scope accuracy requires real vocabulary, units, and attributes.
Fix10,000+ Line Items is a deeply-coded construction library that supports real scope structure—units, trade logic, attributes, and compatibility with BOM output.
InvestorWholesalerContractorAgent
Logistics & Auto
4 features
Automatic Dumpster Calculator
ProblemDumpsters are one of the most common forgotten costs. Forget it once and your “estimate” becomes fantasy.
FixAuto-Dumpster Logic infers demo volume from the scope and injects realistic haul-away allowances automatically—so the estimate stays honest.
InvestorWholesalerContractor
Automatic Permit Detection
ProblemPermits get missed because they’re not “visible” in the room photos—then they show up as delays and budget overruns.
FixAuto-Permit Detection flags permit-triggering work and injects permit allowances as a tracked cost element—so compliance isn’t an afterthought.
InvestorContractor
Consumables Capture
ProblemConsumables quietly eat margins: blades, tape, caulk, fasteners, plastic, bags—small items that add up fast and rarely make it into quotes.
FixConsumables Capture injects these “invisible supplies” automatically based on scope type and size—so your estimate stops leaking profit silently.
InvestorContractor
Bill of Materials (BOM)
ProblemProfits don’t disappear in the big numbers—they disappear in the forgotten stuff: fasteners, caulk, blades, tape, bags, trips, and “we’ll grab it later.”
FixBOM (Bill of Materials) converts an accepted scope into a procurement-ready shopping list so execution doesn’t rely on memory.
InvestorContractor
Scope Building
6 features
Visual Scope Builder
ProblemSpreadsheets don’t catch missing rough-ins, overlooked fixtures, or “that one detail” that becomes a change order later.
FixVisual Builder gives you a spatial check: place items in a room layout so the scope matches how the job actually gets built.
InvestorContractorAgent
Smart Room Templates
ProblemEveryone wastes time rebuilding the same bathroom list, the same flooring list, the same paint list—project after project.
FixSmart Templates let you drop proven scope “recipes” into rooms instantly—then you only adjust exceptions.
InvestorContractor
Property Configuration Templates
ProblemEvery project starts from scratch. You rebuild the same 3-bed/2-bath scope, the same bathroom package, the same flooring spec — over and over, on every single job.
FixSave any scope — a full house configuration, a single room, a trade package — as a reusable template. Walk into a 1-bed/1-bath and load your standard scope in one tap. Walk into a 4-bed/2-bath and load that one. Every room, every trade, every property type can become a template you build once and use on every future job. You only adjust what's different.
InvestorWholesalerContractorAgent
Scalable Systems for Multi-Unit Projects
ProblemMost tools were built for single-family “one-off” jobs. Multifamily turns them into a mess: duplicate units, inconsistent scopes, impossible rollups.
FixMultifamily Templates let you standardize unit scopes, reuse them across dozens or hundreds of doors, and roll costs up cleanly—unit types, common areas, and building-wide totals.
InvestorContractor
Rapid Field Scouting
ProblemField capture is where projects either accelerate or fall apart. Most contractors lose hours to “organize later” and “type it up later.”
FixRapid Field Scouting turns your walkthrough into a structured project automatically—photos organized, rooms captured, scope forming while you walk.
InvestorWholesalerContractor
True Offline Architecture
ProblemBasements, rural properties, concrete boxes—real jobsites don’t care about your signal strength.
FixOffline Architecture keeps your critical data available so you can capture and build without waiting on the internet. Work now. Sync when you’re back.
InvestorContractor
Built for the Realities of the Jobsite
ProblemMost tools are “desktop first,” then they bolt on a mobile view and call it a day. But the jobsite is where the truth is discovered.
FixMobile Workflow keeps field capture and office management in one synced system—so you don’t redo work, and you don’t lose momentum.

Precision Pricing (Labor vs. Material)
ProblemFlat-rate estimating hides the real story: materials, labor, markup, and profit. That’s how contractors underbid without realizing it.
FixPrecision Pricing splits labor and material, applies markup logic, and exposes margin—so you can price like a business, not like a guess.
Contractor
Bid Packages & Job Sheets
ProblemSubs get vague instructions, then bid vague numbers. That’s how projects get destroyed by scope gaps and misunderstandings.
FixBid Packages slice your scope by trade so subs bid cleanly. Job Sheets tell crews what to do (without exposing pricing).
Contractor
Precision Team Dispatch
ProblemTo scale, you need helpers. But giving everyone full access creates risk—especially when pricing and margins are sensitive.
FixPrecision Dispatch separates employees from guests: your team gets full capability, subs get only what they need—so collaboration doesn’t mean exposure.
Contractor
REConnect Marketplace
ProblemMost “estimating tools” stop at the estimate. Then you’re back to texting screenshots, emailing PDFs, and chasing subs to turn scope into action.
FixREConnect Marketplace turns your itemized scope into a broadcast-ready job post—so the scope actually produces bids and execution.

Multi-Strategy Scenario Engine
Investor
Non-Destructive Live Simulation
ProblemClients and partners always ask the same question: “What if we went nicer?” Most teams answer by guessing—or rewriting the estimate from scratch.
FixLive Simulation lets you toggle finish levels and scope variations without destroying the original—so you can pressure-test options fast.
Investor
The Evidence Locker
Problem“Why is this in here?” is where bids get delayed and trust gets damaged—especially on big-ticket repairs.
FixEvidence Locker links photos directly to line items so your bid is defensible. Not argumentative. Defensible.
InvestorWholesaler
Trackable Web-Based Reports
ProblemYou send a PDF quote and... silence. Did they open it? Did they hate the price? Did it go to spam? You have no idea when to follow up.
FixWeb-Based Reporting turns your bid into a live, trackable website link. You get a notification the second they click it.

Client & Marketing
5 features
Client Design Portal (The 'Self-Close' Engine)
ContractorAgent
Apex Design Studio
ProblemClients want options—but options usually mean you rebuild the estimate three times and still lose them to indecision.
FixThe Apex Design Studio is the “self-close” layer: packages, tiers, and selectable upgrades that let clients explore choices without you redoing work.
ContractorAgent
Open House Kiosk Mode
ProblemOpen houses are full of questions—but the #1 question is always the same: “How much would it cost to upgrade this?”
FixKiosk Mode turns curiosity into leads by letting visitors tap upgrades and see instant numbers—while capturing contact info.
Agent
Automated Reporting
ProblemEven the best estimate can lose the deal if it looks like a raw spreadsheet. Presentation is part of conversion.
FixAutomated Reporting packages scopes, photos, and totals into clean, branded output—so you look premium without spending hours formatting.
InvestorContractorAgent
AI Marketing Suite
ProblemRenovations create value—but most teams fail to communicate that value convincingly in MLS descriptions and social posts.
FixAI Marketing Suite converts technical scope language into client-facing selling language—so upgrades become compelling, not confusing.

The Strategy Layer

Compare Divergent
Scope Strategies.

When you buy a distressed property, you have options — flip it, rent it, wholesale it, or hold it. Each exit strategy requires a completely different scope of work and a different price point. It's not just a cheaper flip. A rental scope and a flip scope are fundamentally different build plans — you're not going to pull down walls to open a kitchen on a rental the same way you would on a flip. EstiMate lets you build and compare those separate scopes simultaneously, so you pick the strategy that actually produces the highest return — not just the one you assumed was best.

Multiverse Engine

Flip Scope vs.
Rental Scope.

A rental needs durable, low-maintenance finishes — LVP flooring, painted cabinets, standard fixtures. A flip needs finishes that win buyers — quartz counters, open-concept kitchen, premium tile. These are two completely different build plans with two different budgets and two different returns. EstiMate builds both in parallel so you can see the actual numbers before you decide which direction to take the deal.

Structural Simulator

"What if we
add a Bath?"

Adding a bedroom or bathroom can significantly raise the After Repair Value of a property — but only if the construction cost doesn't eat the gain. The Structural Simulator lets you add rooms, remove walls, or change the footprint and immediately see whether the ARV increase justifies the extra cost. Real numbers. Real decision. No guessing whether the upgrade pencils out.

Field & Operations Layer

Built for the War Room,
Not the Classroom.

The job site is messy. Your software shouldn't be. Other tools work great in a demo video. EstiMate works when you're in a basement with no signal, 50 units to scout, and a deadline that moved up to "yesterday."

Site Reality

Zero Signal? No Problem.

Real jobsites don't have 5G. Our database lives on your phone. Build complex scopes in a basement or rural property and sync when you hit the highway.

Scale

Multifamily Scale.

Don't get stuck with single-family tools on a 50-unit turn. Apply templates across unit stacks and roll up costs instantly.

AI Core

True AI Scope Gen.

Not just a checklist. The AI analyzes visual condition to produce units, quantities, and cost ranges based on the photo evidence.

Speed

Stop Typing at Midnight.

The AI builds the scope structure from your photos. You verify the work instead of starting from a blank blinking cursor.

Tech

Burn Your Tape Measure.

If the photo sees the floor, the engine sees the square footage. Flooring, paint, and trim quantities are calculated for you.

Trust

The Evidence Locker.

Defend your bid. Link specific photos to specific line items to prove exactly why a repair is needed. Zero debate.

Team

Precision Dispatch.

Assign internal staff or external guests. Control exactly who sees pricing and who only sees the scope of work.

Network

Marketplace Sync.

Turn a scope into a job post instantly. Find vetted sub-contractors on the REConnect market who are ready to bid.

Sales

"Spy" Web Reports.

Send trackable links, not dead PDFs. Get notified the instant a client opens your quote and see how long they look.

The Market Gap

The Market is Broken.

You are usually forced to choose between cheap apps that guess at your costs, or heavy legacy software that requires a 4-day training course. We built the answer.

The Power of
Visual Certainty.

Why AI Vision closes deals faster than words ever could.

The "Anxiety Killer"

The #1 reason clients hesitate is fear of the unknown. They can't visualize the outcome, so they freeze.

The Fix: By showing them the finished result on their actual photo, you remove the risk. Certainty leads to signatures.

The Silent Upsell

It is hard to sell "Luxury Cabinets" with words. It sounds like an unnecessary expense.

The Fix: When they toggle between "Standard" and "Luxury" and see the dramatic difference, the upgrade sells itself.

Instant Authority

Most contractors send a text message or a PDF. You are providing a Silicon Valley-grade design experience.

The Fix: This positions you as the premium, modern option. You win on professionalism alone.

Eliminate "Scope Creep"

Clients often say "I didn't think that would look like that" after you install it. That leads to rework.

The Fix: Visual agreement upfront means no arguments later. They saw it, they approved it, they bought it.

Speed to Decision

The human brain processes images 60,000x faster than text. Reading takes logic; looking takes emotion.

The Fix: You bypass the "let me think about it" phase and move straight to the "I want this" phase.

Emotional Ownership

When a client uploads their messy room and sees it transformed, it becomes personal.

The Fix: They aren't buying a renovation; they are buying the feeling of pride they get looking at that AI image.
