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.

BLT is the job's record — photos, hours, receipts, and schedule, kept by the crew that's actually building it. No public feed, no strangers: every project is private and invite-only. MEET JOAN Joan is your project's agent. Tap the mic and talk to her like a colleague on the wall: what's left before inspection, how much concrete has cost, who's on tomorrow. She reads the real job — the budget, the photos, the hours — and answers with real numbers. When something needs to change, Joan drafts it as a card: a budget revision, a schedule move, a text to a sub. Nothing happens until you look at it and tap Apply. She proposes; you decide. Every time. THE JOB, DOCUMENTED - Photos and video post to the project feed and become part of the record - Every photo gets an automatic AI site read; run deeper Safety, Code, or Quality analyses with one tap - Comments with @mentions keep the conversation on the work TIME THAT TRACKS ITSELF - Punch in and out with a tap — breaks and lunch handled - A Live Activity keeps your shift on the lock screen and Dynamic Island - The week's hours, day by day, right on the Time tab MONEY WITHOUT THE SHOEBOX - Snap a receipt and BLT reads it — vendor, amount, line items - Attach photos of what was bought so the record shows the material, not just the number RUN THE CREW - See who's assigned today and tomorrow - Tasks come to you with reasoning attached — finish them, decline with a reason, or pass them to the right person with a note - Invite crew, foremen, and subs by text message with a six-character code - Start your next job right from the project switcher BUILT FOR THE FIELD Big targets that work with gloves. Screens that read in sunlight. An app that assumes you're standing on a slab, not sitting at a desk — and a web companion at app.getblt.ai when you are. Whether you run one remodel by yourself or a company with crews across town, BLT keeps the job honest: what got done, what it cost, and what's next.
