QuickEstimate

QuickEstimate was built to help contractors and builders create accurate estimates faster without dealing with complicated spreadsheets. We wanted to simplify the estimating process, improve bidding accuracy, and help construction professionals protect their profit margins with an easy-to-use platform.

Solid feature set for streamlining bids! Since the tool generates professional PDF proposals, handling user logos efficiently is probably key. If your app deals with vector graphics for those proposals, I built CrushSVG (www.crushsvg.net) to optimize them entirely client-side. Might be a handy utility for your stack. Best of luck with it!

Must be thoughtful, specific, and helpful. Avoid generic comments like “Looks cool” or “Nice tool”.

Estimate history and revisions is the feature I'd actually pay for - most estimating tools treat every bid as a one-off, but the real value is in seeing how your own margins drift over a dozen jobs so you can catch yourself underbidding a trade before it becomes a pattern. Does the revision history let you compare margin trends across past projects, or is it more of a per-project audit trail? Also curious whether the overhead calculation adapts per trade (electrical vs. framing have pretty different waste/rework baselines) or if it's one flat overhead model.

The profit-margin controls and proposal output look like a clean step up from juggling construction spreadsheets. If model bills start adding up behind the business, pzero.studio is where we buy leftover capacity.

The overhead/margin controls stand out to me since I build software for a similar audience (job management for Aussie tradies). One thing I've learned from our users: a single flat overhead percentage tends to undercharge trades with high material waste (tiling, roofing) and overcharge low-waste labour-heavy trades. Do you let estimators set a different overhead baseline per trade or per material category, or is it one number across the whole estimate? That's usually the difference between a tool people use once and one they trust for every bid.
