AI Construction Cost Estimator
Enter the project location, size, scope and finish tier and get a construction cost range with trade-level breakdowns in under two minutes.
Estimates are planning-grade ranges calibrated to regional labor and material costs. They are not bids, and they are not a substitute for contractor pricing.
What drives the estimate
Location sets the labor and materials index, permit fees and transport costs. Size determines quantities and how fixed costs spread across square footage. Finish tier and scope complexity move the number more than most people expect — envelope complexity, mechanical density and code-triggered upgrades all land here.
Why you get a range, not one number
The low end assumes efficient design, favorable bids and no site surprises. The middle is where a well-scoped, competently managed project should land. The high end is your realistic contingency — the stress test a lender wants to see.
What is included in the breakdown
Material, labor and contingency by trade, soft costs, permit allowances and per-square-foot rates, so you can see which line items are driving the total and where scope reductions would actually help.
