  • Patent number: 11587003
    Abstract: A method for creating highly accurate construction and renovation estimates and proposals for a client is described. The computer implemented method includes providing a platform to include all of the items and assemblies required in a construction project that make up the construction proposal, including all labor costs, material costs, and additional costs for taxes and mark ups. The method simplifies a highly complex and usually inaccurate process of having to calculate all of the costs associated with construction and renovation, in particular for residential properties, and allows clients to select desired items and receive a highly accurate, detailed estimate and proposal very quickly. The process further includes the ability to make any changes and upgrades quickly because of the unique system which includes linked dimensions, linked line items, and linked assemblies that allows a selection to affect multiple related elements, and further includes all hidden costs for better accuracy.
