Jafy

Jafy is invoicing and estimate management software for construction tradespeople and automotive repair facilities. The platform streamlines estimates, invoices, work progress documentation, and repair orders through an AI agent that creates, modifies, and reformulates documents via voice or keyboard input. The AI reads specifications and client requests to prepare compliant estimates and invoices while enforcing regulations by locking finalized invoices and directing users to credit notes for changes. In construction mode, Jafy calculates advance payments, generates progress invoices, deducts prior amounts, and tracks warranty retention. The automotive repair mode includes vehicle fleet management, pre-filling repair orders with stored vehicle data. Integration with B2Brouter automates Factur-X supplier invoice reception, while scanned receipts and invoices are processed for tax data. Accountants can export journals and documentation with one click. Data is stored on French servers.

JobGuard

JobGuard is a quoting, extra work and invoicing app for UK builders and tradespeople, made to be used on a phone on site. Take a few photos, describe the job by voice or text, and JobGuard suggests a price range for every line from current UK rates, merchant prices and your own past jobs. You pick the figures. It also lists what the job probably needs that you did not mention (skip hire, making good, sundries) so they do not come out of your pocket. The client gets a link and a 6-digit PIN, reads the quote on their phone and signs it. No app or account for them. When the job changes, each piece of extra work goes to the client with photos and a price, and they approve it before you start. Every approval is dated, so there are no arguments at the final invoice. The invoice fills itself from the quote, approved extras and payments already received, with your logo, VAT number and bank details. Every job keeps a dated record: photos, notes, approvals, receipts and site reports from your workers (Team plan). Free plan: up to 2 jobs, no card needed.

Job Quote Lab Estimator

Job Quote Lab Estimator helps pressure washing and exterior cleaning contractors prepare professional estimates. Contractors can use a quote calculator, pricing guidance, public quote links, print-ready quotes, reusable templates, and widget demos for their website.

Klorra AI

Klorra AI is an AI estimating service for custom home builders. Upload an architectural plan PDF; typically in about 4 hours you get back a complete bid you can put in front of a client. Five documents, each viewable in the app and downloadable as Excel or Word: - Quantity takeoff: 400+ measured quantities organized by trade, each cited to its plan sheet. - Cost estimate: line items across 160+ cost codes, calibrated by region. - Scope of work: organized by trade in build order, tied to the estimate line items so the two don't drift. - Conflict report: cross-discipline clashes, code issues, and items that need an architect or engineer to clarify. - Verification notes: what a second-agent QC pass flagged for you to confirm before the bid goes out. How it works: a 7-phase pipeline (Plan Intelligence, Conflict & Issue Review, Building Data Takeoff, Cost Detail Generation, QC Review, Scope of Work Generation, Delivery), every phase on the current Claude Opus model. Fully AI from intake through delivery. The QC phase is an audit whose findings ship to you as the verification notes; it is not a guarantee. Who built it: an active Naples, FL custom home builder that needed it for its own bids. The same pipeline runs our own bids today. We opened it to other builders in 2026. What we're honest about: AI still gets things wrong on custom roof geometry, missing structural pages, hand-marked plan edits, and MEP conflicts that don't show on any single sheet. Klorra flags those so estimators know where to focus their effors. The accuracy disclaimer is in plain English in our terms, and you verify every quantity against your own takeoff before commercial use. Pricing: $299 per bid pay-as-you-go, first bid free with no card. Builder $2,990/yr (14 bids), Pro $8,990/yr (66), Studio $24,990/yr (200); monthly plans available. Annual saves 25%. Serving custom home builders in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas at launch. A complete sample bid is public at klorra.ai/samples, no signup.

Knack for Trades

Knack for Trades is quoting and job software built in New Zealand for electricians and security installers. On site, talk the job as you walk it. Knack drafts your voice notes into scope lines you review, edit and price. AI writes the first draft; you make every call. Upload the plan (or sketch one in the browser), mark it up, and the takeoff counts points and measures runs for you. Parts and labour build up from your own price book and recipes, with your cost, markup and gross profit on screen while the customer only ever sees a clean total. Send one link. Your customer sees a branded quote with selectable options, pins change requests on the drawing, and accepts online against a signed declaration, so what was agreed is a record, not a text message. After the yes, the job is on the schedule: book visits, assign the crew, take job sheets and forms onto site, and sign off before you leave the driveway. Electricians issue CoC and ESC certificates from the job's own data. Supplier invoices file against the job that earned them, and the invoice itself is raised in your Xero (New Zealand), never in Knack. Works in the browser and as iPhone and Android apps. Every plan has the full quoting workflow; scheduling, job forms and certificates are on Pro and Crew. 30-day free trial of every feature, no card.

Konbid Estimating

Konbid Estimating is construction estimating software combining digital takeoff, cost databases, and proposal generation in one workflow. Contractors can upload PDF plans, calibrate scale, and measure lengths, areas, volumes, and counts directly on drawings, with quantities flowing automatically into estimates. A custom cost database stores material, labor, and equipment rates, while assembly functionality groups components for reuse. Crew configuration and production rate tools calculate project cost, and the earthwork engine computes cut, fill, and net dirt volumes from plans. Field measurement tools enable on-site data entry without plans. The platform generates branded proposals, tracks bid pipelines via a visual board, and manages change orders with revision history. Cloud synchronization ensures access across devices, and templates provide reusable estimate structures for new projects.

KontraktorOS

KontraktorOS is a cloud ERP for small and mid-sized construction contractors in Indonesia. It connects the cost estimate (RAB/BOQ) to everything that happens after the tender is won, so estimators, project managers, purchasing, warehouse and finance teams work from the same numbers. Build estimates from analysis templates and a price database or import an existing Excel estimate, then print the quotation. Schedule each estimate item on a Gantt chart with an automatic S-curve. Derive material, equipment and subcontract needs from the estimate, issue purchase orders with tiered approval, record deliveries per delivery note with automatic stock updates, and pay supplier invoices from bank accounts. Track owner contracts with down payment, retention and progress billing, plus cash flow and profit per project. Higher plans add subcontractor and foreman management, rebar and concrete quantities (SNI 2847:2019), payroll, and accounting with automatic journals. Role-based access per module. Free 14-day trial.

KutchCAD

KutchCAD is a specialized software solution developed by EDICAD, designed to streamline the process of generating quantity takeoffs and estimates directly from construction plans. By automating traditional workflows, KutchCAD enhances efficiency and accuracy for professionals in the construction industry. One of the core features of KutchCAD is its ability to reconstruct Building Information Modeling (BIM) models from imported plans in various formats, including DXF, DWG, PDF, scanned documents, and site surveys. Users can also create models from scratch within the software. Each project element within KutchCAD is linked to specific works intended for inclusion in the Detailed Quantitative Estimate (DQE). The software calculates measurements based on the dimensions of drawn elements, organizing them into precise calculation formulas. KutchCAD offers a range of functionalities tailored to meet the diverse needs of construction professionals. For instance, it facilitates the creation of location plans and site progress plans, aiding installation teams by highlighting the works to be executed. The software also includes tools for modeling frameworks, allowing users to install components like purlins, rafters, and battens on roof panels in a single operation, with parameters for sections and spacing. Additionally, traditional frames can be modeled in 3D views using pre-registered elements such as hips, braces, and punches. In the domains of plumbing and electricity, KutchCAD enables users to position equipment and draw connecting lines between them. Structures can be quantified by unit or in cost mode to determine the lengths of conduits and cables. Descriptions per item can be saved in the library, allowing for the generation of quotes without the need to draw 2D symbols. For facade work, such as plastering, painting, or cladding, KutchCAD provides a feature that transforms simple photographs of buildings into scaled geometric views. This functionality allows for accurate measurement of surfaces to be treated and the reconstruction of a building's full unfolded layout. A significant advantage of KutchCAD is its synchronization capability with estimating and project management software. This direct link ensures that any modification in KutchCAD is simultaneously reflected in the connected estimating software, and vice versa. This synchronization eliminates the need for export and import filters between programs, preventing errors and redundant data entry, thereby ensuring 100% reliable project references. KutchCAD is particularly suited for cost estimators, design offices, general contractors, and building trades professionals. It allows for the efficient performance of measurements and specifications on plans, which are automatically linked to quotation software, eliminating data entry redundancy. Users can import projects in formats such as DWG, DXF, SKP, or IFC, or redraw them from PDFs or scanned plans. The software also supports live building readings from laser meters or theodolites connected via Bluetooth, facilitates the creation of execution plans, and enables real-time communication with estimating and management software to generate quotes and disbursements. Additionally, users can establish work schedules directly within the software. For educators and students, EDICAD offers one year of free exclusive access to KutchCAD for educational purposes, providing a powerful, all-in-one tool with multiple features adaptable to various building and construction professions. In summary, KutchCAD is a comprehensive tool that automates and integrates various aspects of the construction planning and estimating process, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration among professionals in the field.
