Cost estimates built on quantities you can trace.
A cost estimate is quantities times costs. Most estimating software focuses on the costs. RenderDraw puts equal weight on the quantities: AI-proposed, estimator-approved and tied to their source, then handed off for pricing with your supplier quotes and labor units.
- Reviewed quantities
- Price list matching
- Labor units
- Traceable workbook
Every number has a source.
| Step | What RenderDraw keeps |
|---|---|
| Quantity | Drawing tile, sheet, revision and confidence |
| Review | Reviewer, decision and any correction |
| Material price | Matched supplier price list item and match confidence |
| Labor | Your labor units and rates |
| Output | Workbook rows with pricing source and approval status |

Construction cost estimating software, answered.
What is construction cost estimating software?
Software that turns project scope into a priced estimate: quantities, material costs, labor, equipment, overhead and profit.
How does RenderDraw price materials?
RenderDraw doesn't set your prices. Approved quantities hand off to your price lists, supplier quotes and labor units, and configured products can continue into RenderDraw's visual CPQ.
Can I use my own labor units?
Yes. Approved quantities map to your labor units, assemblies and rates.
Does the AI price the job by itself?
No. AI proposes quantities; your estimator reviews them, lowest confidence first, and only approved rows are priced with your assemblies, price lists and labor units.
Can I try it on my own drawings?
Yes. Request a free sample takeoff on one representative plan set. Your sample files remain private while we assess the request, and there is no obligation to proceed.
