Estimate prep, primer, paint, and labor by the square foot with waste and finish level baked in. Built for painting crews running residential and commercial work.
Surface prep is often 50-60% of the labor. A new-construction wall isn't the same job as a 40-year-old wall with cracks, holes, and three coats of failing latex.
Trim and cabinets are linear or per-unit work. Walls and ceilings are square footage. One blended rate per job means you're under-bidding the detail work.
Same square foot, very different production rate. Without separate assemblies you're guessing — and the spray jobs cover for the brush jobs that lose money.
Mark up plans on a tablet or laptop. Linear feet, area, and count — no more printed sheets and a measuring wheel. Numbers flow straight into the estimate.
Bundle labor, materials, and equipment into one line item you can drop into any estimate. Your real production rates, not a generic database.
Generate a clean, client-ready proposal from the estimate. No copy-pasting numbers into Word or Excel — the proposal stays in sync with the bid.
