Bedrock Estimating

Bedrock Estimating is a cloud-native construction estimating platform designed to help contractors move from plan review to completed bids faster. It combines digital takeoff, cost estimating, assemblies, proposal generation, CRM, bid tracking, scheduling, and project collaboration in one browser-based system. Estimators can upload PDF plans and measure linear footage, area, volume, counts, and pier quantities directly on the drawings. Per-sheet scale calibration helps maintain accuracy across plan sets, while linked assemblies convert takeoff quantities into complete cost calculations for materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, production rates, crews, and man-hours. Bedrock includes a customizable cost database organized using CSI MasterFormat codes. Contractors can manage local labor rates, material pricing, equipment costs, subcontractor pricing, and composite crews based on how their company actually estimates work. Markups, overhead, profit, bonds, alternates, and pricing scenarios update in real time, giving teams a clear view of direct cost and final bid price. Once an estimate is complete, Bedrock can generate professional, branded proposals with customizable content, dynamic project information, and PDF export. Its built-in CRM and bid calendar help teams organize owners, general contractors, architects, contacts, due dates, follow-ups, and project opportunities without relying on separate spreadsheets or sales tools. Bedrock also supports visual scheduling, allowing estimate line items and assemblies to be converted into project tasks, milestones, crew assignments, durations, and timelines. Multi-user workspaces, role-based access, company-level data isolation, and real-time collaboration help estimating teams work together while keeping project and pricing information organized. Bedrock Estimating is built for concrete contractors, earthwork contractors, framing companies, MEP contractors, steel fabricators, drywall contractors, masonry contractors, roofing contractors, and self-performing general contractors. It is designed for construction businesses that want a modern alternative to disconnected PDF viewers, spreadsheets, legacy estimating software, and standalone proposal tools.

BidWalk

BidWalk is AI estimating software that converts verbal job site descriptions into detailed, itemized quotes. The software captures spoken descriptions of work during site visits and generates line-item estimates with separate labor and material cost breakdowns. Each line item displays pricing source attribution, indicating whether figures originate from a custom price book or built-in estimates. Contractors can modify pricing, add items, or remove entries before finalizing quotes on-site. The software eliminates the need for forms, photo staging, or post-visit data entry. Completed quotes are shared through a browser link that clients can access to review and sign electronically. BidWalk enables contractors to create and deliver estimates during job site visits rather than completing them afterward.

BillyBot

BillyBot is an AI operator for UK flooring businesses. It runs the office side of the business, from the first enquiry to the final invoice. It connects to Gmail or Outlook, reads incoming customer enquiries, creates the job and drafts the reply in the owner's own writing style. Describe a job by voice note, text or forwarded email and BillyBot builds a full quote on the business's own supplier prices and markups, with the cutting plan behind it — accounting for roll widths, pattern matching and seam placement. It takes off floor plans, PDF drawings and tender schedules and prices them on the business's own rates, flagging anything that needs checking. Accepted quotes become invoices in Xero, Sage or QuickBooks on the owner's confirmation, or branded PDFs. It also runs the diary and fitter scheduling, chases quotes that have gone quiet, captures receipts for Making Tax Digital, and drafts job-specific RAMS and COSHH documents for the owner to issue. Nothing reaches a customer or the accounts without the owner's approval. Unlimited fitters are free — every fitter gets the full iPhone and Android app with their bookings, job sheets and RAMS to sign. Built by a flooring business owner of 20 years, BillyBot understands the trade's own language — carpet, LVT, laminate, vinyl, safety flooring, Whiterock, door bars, coved skirting — rather than being a generic trades app with a flooring label on it. Pricing is £149 per office seat per month with everything included, and a 14-day free trial.
