The Problem

You're losing jobs
to faster bidders

Every estimate you build by hand is time your competitor uses to send theirs first. The first bid in wins 40% more often.

  • 3-4 hours per estimate

    Measuring, counting, pricing, formatting. For one bid that might not even win.

  • Missed scope items

    Forgot soil prep under the sod? That's $4K off your margin on a job you already won.

  • Stale pricing

    Plant costs change seasonally. Your spreadsheet from last year doesn't know that.

  • EstimateLab fixes all three

    Upload the plan, review the AI takeoff, send the bid. Same day. Every time.

How It Works

Three steps. Ten minutes.

From plan PDF to professional estimate, faster than your competitor can open Excel.

FAQ

Questions contractors ask

How accurate is the AI?

99.5% price accuracy validated against $3.4M in real estimates. The AI extracts from your plans and prices from your catalog — not generic rates.

Can I use my own pricing?

Yes. Every price is overridable. Pro users customize the entire catalog with their own costs and markup multipliers.

How is this different from LMN?

LMN is an enterprise platform with a 6-month learning curve. EstimateLab is a focused estimating tool you learn in 10 minutes.

What are scope triggers?

Add sod → system auto-adds grading, soil, irrigation. These are the items that get forgotten on manual estimates and kill your margin.

What plan formats work?

PDF, JPG, PNG. Our vision pipeline processes at 300 DPI across quadrants — handles complex multi-page landscape plans.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no fees. If it doesn't help you win more bids, cancel in one click.

Stop losing bids
to slow estimates.

Your plans. Your prices. Done.
