EZ-Estimates is an AI-powered construction estimating and project management platform that turns voice descriptions into professional line-item estimates in under 60 seconds, built by a working general contractor for residential contractors and trades.
What is EZ-Estimates?
EZ-Estimates is an AI construction estimating tool that transforms spoken or typed project descriptions into detailed, trade-specific estimates with materials, labor, line items, and markup. It also handles blueprint takeoff with AI measurement, satellite mapping for roof and lot measurements, client portals with e-signatures, invoicing, scheduling, and expense tracking. The platform works on web, iOS, and Android and was built by Montreal general contractor Fabio Freire to replace the spreadsheets and lost evenings that plague traditional estimating.
Key Features
- Voice-to-Estimate — Describe a job by talking into your phone on the drive home; AI returns a full estimate with line items, local labor rates, and markup in under 60 seconds.
- EZ-Takeoff™ Vision — Upload blueprints; AI auto-detects walls, rooms, fixtures, and calculates areas with waste factors for your trade.
- EZ-Mapping™ (Google Maps) — Enter an address, click vertices on satellite imagery to get instant surface area and linear measurements for roofs, driveways, and land.
- Client Portal & E-Signatures — Branded portals where clients view estimates, electronically sign quotes and change orders, and pay deposits/progress invoices via Stripe.
- Interactive Quotes — Clients can toggle optional upgrades (e.g., brushed gold hardware, heated floors) with real-time price updates, reducing change orders.
- Profit Guard™ — Automated audits that flag under-quoted labor and materials against current local market rates.
- AI Receptionist — 24/7 answering service that captures caller details, project needs, and creates CRM leads in multiple languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese).
- Content Studio — Generate social media ads and images tailored to specific trades with AI, optimized for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
Who is it for?
- General contractors and kitchen/bath remodelers who need to build professional estimates quickly from job site visits and manage the full project lifecycle.
- Trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, flooring, landscaping) that require trade-specific line items, waste factors, and local labor rate adjustments.
- Small to mid-sized residential construction businesses that want to replace manual estimating with voice input, automated takeoffs, and integrated client communication.
What can you do with EZ-Estimates?
- Quickly quote jobs from the truck: Dictate a project description while driving home from a site visit; receive a fully itemized, branded PDF estimate before you park.
- Automate blueprint takeoff: Upload a floor plan and let AI detect rooms, measure areas, and generate a material list with waste factors in seconds.
- Qualify leads with a website widget: Embed an AI chatbot on your site that asks budget range and project details, gives an instant ballpark, and books qualified calls on your calendar.
- Manage payments and change orders: Send deposit invoices via Stripe, track progress billing, and handle change orders with e-signatures digitally before extra work begins.
How does EZ-Estimates work?
Open the mobile app, tap the microphone, and describe the project as if talking to your foreman. The AI builds a detailed estimate with materials, labor, line items, and your markup. Review and send a branded PDF to the client — all under 60 seconds. Uploading blueprints or satellite coordinates triggers automated takeoff and measurement.
