Walk the job. Send the bid. ContractorIQ turns a photo or a quick description into an itemized estimate, then into a branded quote or invoice your client can pay from. Stop pricing jobs at the kitchen table after hours. Snap the job site, add the scope, and get materials and labor broken out line by line, priced for your market and your pricing tier. HOW IT WORKS 1. Walk the job: take a photo, pick one from your library, or describe the work. 2. Get the estimate: materials, quantities, labor hours and totals, itemized. 3. Build the bid: turn it into an estimate, quote or invoice with your logo, markup and tax. 4. Send it: share a clean PDF with a scan-to-pay QR code. ESTIMATES FROM A PHOTO Tile, paint, decks, roofing, drywall, flooring and remodels. ContractorIQ reads the job and lists the materials and labor it takes, with your region and your tier (budget, standard or premium) built into the prices. QUOTES AND INVOICES THAT LOOK PRO Your logo and brand color on every PDF. Set your default markup, tax and hourly rate once and every new bid starts with them. Convert an estimate to a quote and a quote to an invoice, track what is sent, accepted, paid or overdue, and add a payment link your clients scan to pay. VISUALIZE THE FINISHED JOB Photograph the space, describe the finished look and see it rendered. Drag the before and after slider with your client, then get the cost to build that redesign. ASK THE ESTIMATOR Chat about pricing, scope, building codes, permits and how to word a bid. Look up current material and labor prices for your area. BUILT FOR General contractors, remodelers, handymen, roofers, painters, flooring, tile and deck pros, and anyone who writes bids for a living.
