# AI Estimating & Proposals

Priced, proposal-ready estimates in under a minute

Describe the scope and your AI estimator builds a line-item estimate from your own pricing, checks the margin and sends a proposal your customer can accept online.

## Benefits
- **Estimate from a scope note:** Type or dictate the job and get a structured, priced estimate back immediately.
- **Consistent margins:** Every estimate uses your labor rates, material costs and markup rules.
- **Change orders in seconds:** Scope changes get repriced and re-sent so nothing gets built for free.

## How it works
1. Describe the job in plain language
2. Review the AI-built line items and margin
3. Send the proposal for online acceptance
4. Convert the accepted estimate into a project and invoice

## FAQs
Q: Does it use my own pricing?
A: Yes. Estimates are built from your labor rates, material costs and markup rules, so pricing stays consistent across everyone who quotes.

Q: Can I edit the estimate before it goes out?
A: Always. The AI drafts it, you review and adjust every line item before sending.
