HomeGearPicks Contractor Bid Estimator

A separate HomeGearPicks contractor tool. Build an itemized bid your client can read, compare, and sign.

v1.6.1: zero paperwork — business profile saved once, voice into client, address, scope, and log, photo-to-lines, AI log polish, message drafts, email bid, print pack, and a daily day sheet for the client. AI drafts are checked by you before they go out — the AI never sets prices.

Fill this in once. It fills the business name on every bid and invoice, so you never retype it.

Voice typing uses your device speech recognition. It only fills the scope text — you check and edit it before the bid goes out.

House scope — rooms

Add rooms one by one. Each room can load its own starter lines, and the bid rolls every room up into one house total. Markup, profit, and tax apply once to the whole house, not per room.

Room name

Room type

Subtotals by room

Lines — every line is editable

Starter prices are placeholders for you to replace — they are not supplier quotes. Change any quantity, unit, or price. Add or delete lines. The total is always exactly the sum of the lines.

Build phases — checklist

Tick phases off as they complete. Phases marked with a licensed-pro note require permits and licensed professionals.

Photos — job documentation

Photos stay on this device — they are never uploaded anywhere. They print with the bid.

Photo → bid lines

Snap the room and let the AI suggest bid lines from the photo. Lines are estimates only — never measurements — and prices stay at $0 for you to fill in. Your photo goes to Google AI to draft this.

Invoices

Turn this bid into an invoice — the full total or one payment-schedule installment. Invoices save on this device only and print with the page.

Totals from the bids and invoices saved on this device.

Jobs

Turn a bid into a job, track it day by day, and invoice what is left when it is done. Jobs save on this device only.

AI paperwork

Say it your way — the AI writes it professionally and figures out what goes where. You check every line before the bid goes out.

Say it your way

AI draft — check every line before the bid goes out. The AI never sets prices; you fill those in. Your words go to Google AI to draft this.

One tap writes the message from this bid — you send it yourself, from your own phone or email.

Basis note — on every bid

Save on this device

Saved on this device only — client names and addresses never leave this device.
