PURPOSE-BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION

Everything you need to produce winning bids — nothing you don’t.

Our mission is to provide software to create the WINNING BID. Rapid Estimator creates accurate, detailed, and professional looking estimates. It combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the structure, intelligence, and reporting power of enterprise software — at a price and complexity level perfect for growing contractors.

Whether you’re bidding residential remodels, commercial buildings, tenant improvements, civil work, or specialty trades, the platform adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s process. The program is organized, flexible and easy to learn.

Intelligent assemblies and trade-specific item libraries
Detailed line-item cost control (material, labor, sub, other)
Real-time cost rollups, markups and area modifiers
Professional client-ready proposals in minutes
Phases, alternates and change management
Full historical audit trail for every bid
DEEP, PRACTICAL CAPABILITIES

Built the way estimators actually work.

Trade-Specific Cost Books

Hundreds of pre-built items and categories for remodelers, home builders and specialty trades. Regional modifiers and quarterly updates keep pricing current.

Smart Assemblies Library

Build once, reuse forever. Assemblies automatically expand into labor, material, subcontractor and other line items with correct productivity factors.

Bid Management & Alternates

Create unlimited alternates, unit price breakdowns, and options. Compare scenarios instantly with side-by-side views.

Proposal Generation

Produce polished, branded PDF proposals with your logo, terms, and professional formatting in seconds — ready to send.

Granular Cost Control

Per-line control of material, labor, sub, and other costs plus flexible markup columns and area modifiers for precise, defensible bids.

Export & Integration

Native Excel, PDF, and XML exports. Send comprehensive estimates prepared with current costs that can be invoiced and tracked in your accounting system. Direct integration options with many popular construction management, scheduling, and accounting platforms.
