How can AI Benefit Contractors?

 

AI estimating tools help contractors automate takeoffs, analyze plans, speed up bid preparation, and improve pricing accuracy. The result is faster estimating, fewer costly misses, and a more scalable bidding process.

 

Estimating shouldn’t steal your nights, weekends, or profits—but outdated takeoff methods still quietly drain margins on every bid. One missed quantity can mean the difference between a great project and months of stress.

Today’s top contractors are using AI-powered estimating tools to bid faster, catch costly errors before they happen, and protect their margins—without adding staff or working longer hours. Our AI for Estimating Certification Class shows you exactly how to use a real-time AI platform to build estimates faster, customize pricing for your local market, and submit more proposals with confidence.

Upcoming sessions are now open. As AI becomes a bigger part of construction workflows, contractors who learn these tools early will be better positioned to bid faster and win more work.

  • Using a live AI estimating platform to build faster, more structured estimates
  • Reducing estimating time by 90% or more through AI-assisted workflows
  • Customizing estimates to local market pricing for labor and materials
  • Creating RFIs, change orders, and documentation workflows inside the platform
  • Building trade-by-trade estimates across multiple stages of construction
  • Producing a real-world estimate from an actual plan or a project in their own home

Why contractors choose this class:

  • Train on a real AI estimating platform—not just slides or theory
  • Work from real building plans and realistic estimating scenarios
  • Customize estimates to your local labor and material pricing
  • Learn practical workflows for RFIs, change orders, documentation, and more

Led by Construction Professionals

Learn from course developers and instructors who understand real estimating workflows, project pressures, and the practical realities of bidding in today’s construction market.

A Note From the Course Developer 

“I built this course to help contractors move beyond outdated estimating workflows and start using the same kinds of AI tools top estimators use today. This is a practical class built around real plans, real estimating scenarios, and real business results.” 

Chris Clausing, Certified General Contractor, PhD Candidate in Construction Management

Each session is designed to move students from platform fundamentals to complete real-world estimating applications. 


Session 1 – Platform Overview, Features, and Live Estimating Exercises 

Session 1 includes an overview of the AI estimating platform, key features, and real-world estimating exercises using actual building plans. Students will also learn how to create RFIs, manage change orders, store jobsite photos, track documentation, and begin building estimates in a live platform environment. 

Session 2 – Trade-by-Trade Estimating and Real-World Project Buildout 

Session 2 takes a deeper dive into building estimates for each stage of construction, including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, exterior finishes, and more. Students will build a real-world estimate using a plan they provide or a project based on a room in their own home.
