The Problem
Does This Sound Familiar?
The time contractors waste on estimates adds up fast. Here's what it costs you.
Losing 2+ hours per estimate
10 estimates/week = 20 hours/week wasted
Lost bids due to slow responses
$500-2000 per lost bid opportunity
Unprofessional spreadsheet quotes
30% lower close rate vs. branded proposals
No way to manage team workflow
Duplicate work, missed deadlines, chaos
The Bottom Line
An average contractor spending 2 hours per estimate, doing 10 estimates per week, loses $39,000 per year to time waste alone. That's before lost bids from slow responses and unprofessional-looking spreadsheet quotes.

Real Contractor
"BuildaDraft cut my estimate time from 2 hours to 5 minutes. I responded to 3 leads the same day I got them—competitors took 2 days. Closed 2 of those 3. That's $12,000 in revenue I would've lost."

Contractor FAQ
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How long does it take to create an estimate?
5 minutes on average. Some contractors do it in 2-3 minutes once they're familiar with the workflow. The key is that your customer gets a professional proposal same-day instead of waiting 2-3 days.
Can I customize estimates with my company branding?
Absolutely. Add your logo, colors, and contact info. Estimates are white-labeled and look professional. Customers think they came from a large company, not a solo contractor.
Do I own my customer data?
Yes, completely. All your customer information, estimates, and projects belong to you. You can export anytime. We never sell or share your data.
What if I need to adjust pricing?
Easy. Add markups, labor adjustments, or material overrides before sending. BuildaDraft gives you the foundation—you control the final number.
Can my team members use it?
Yes. Contractor Pro ($49/mo) includes unlimited team members. Assign estimates, manage projects, and track pipeline together. Perfect for growing crews.
What if I give a quote but prices change?
Our pricing data updates quarterly. Pro tip: mention 'pricing valid for 30 days' in your proposals. Most contractors update prices seasonally anyway.
Is there a learning curve?
No. Most contractors figure it out in their first estimate. We have video tutorials for every feature. Support is available if you get stuck.
How much can I actually save?
Average contractor saves 1.5 hours per estimate. At $50/hr burdened cost, that's $75 per estimate. 10 estimates/week = $750/week = $39,000/year. The software costs $180/year (Pro) or $588/year (Contractor Pro). ROI is immediate.
