Estimate Price Book

Contractors: Instantly Create To-The-Penny EstimatesWith The Builder Prime Price Book…Every. Single. Time.

Our Price Book Lets You Pre-set Your Rates For EVERYTHING. Never Manually Calculate Costs For Your Estimates AGAIN.

If you’re like most home improvement contractors, you know the pain of manually pricing out each and every job. No two projects are the same size and scope, so every estimate has unique labor and material costs.

But when you yourself have to calculate those costs every single time on every single estimate? You…

  • Use up a ton of precious time that — let’s face it — you probably can’t afford to spare.
  • Run the risk of making mistakes and over/undercharging your customers.

And whether your problem is A, B, or both, it all usually adds up to one thing: LOST PROFIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

So, what’s the “solution to the equation”? Simple… just stop calculating your estimates.

Seriously. Don’t do it.

Instead, have Builder Prime’s cutting-edge Price Book tool calculate your estimates FOR you.

Our Price Book Does The Math So YOU Don’t Have To

Our Price Book tool is built directly into our CRM software suite, and lets you preset your prices for everything. From the “expensive” stuff like countertops, roof shingles, and replacement windows … to the “small” things like boxes of nails and tubes of caulk… you can stick a price tag on absolutely every material you use for jobs.

You can even autogenerate prices based on the SIZE of the materials you need. For example: Let’s say you need to determine the price for a 24”x36” Pella vinyl double-hung replacement window. All you have to do is…

#1: In your Price Book, click on your Windows category
#2: Choose the proper brand and style of window (in this case, Pella vinyl double-hung)
#3: Once you come to the “Add Item” page, enter the window’s width and height dimensions

But it doesn’t stop there. You can further customize the window estimate by adding features like grids, the number of window panes, the color of the window, and so forth. Each additional feature or upgrade will influence the final price, reflecting the chosen add-ons.

Once all the details are set in stone, the real-time cost formula is displayed — including the required materials, time, and number of workers needed to complete the job efficiently. You get a 100% accurate price… perfectly encapsulated in a beautiful, branded estimate or contract.
