AI Construction Estimating Software
Built for Faster, More Defensible Bids
QuoteGoat helps estimators move from “did we miss anything?” to confidence. Upload plans and project documents, automate quantity takeoffs, and surface scope omissions and contradictions before they become change orders, margin erosion, or bid risk. Build a complete, reviewable estimate—faster.
No spreadsheets to rebuild. Works with real-world PDFs.
Built for precon teams under a deadline.
Trust & Credibility
Built for contractors, estimators, and preconstruction teams who need speed and scope confidence. QuoteGoat strengthens your existing workflow by adding automated takeoff, document understanding, and scope gap detection—so your estimate is complete, defensible, and easier to review.
Why AI Construction Estimating Matters
Estimating breaks down in predictable places: rushed takeoffs, scattered scope notes, and last-minute document changes that don’t get reconciled. The result isn’t just slower bids—it’s missed scope, pricing exposure, and avoidable rework during buyout and execution.AI construction estimating software should do more than just speed up quantity calculations. It should help you see risk earlier:
Catch the missing scope before you carry it in contingency.
Identify contradictions across drawings, specs, and addenda.
Standardize the review so junior and senior estimators catch the same issues
Produce estimates that are easier to validate internally and defend externally
What Makes QuoteGoat Different
We're not tech builders who discovered construction. We're construction professionals who became tech builders. Every feature in QuoteGoat comes from real time spent in the field, behind a desk, and on job sites. We built BlueCollar Cloud for enterprise contractors. Now we're bringing that same expertise; and the lessons learned from thousands of projects, to contractors of every size. No jargon. No unnecessary complexity. Just tools that work the way you work.

QuoteGoat is a scope intelligence platform for construction estimating—designed to identify omissions, contradictions, and scope gaps before they become expensive mistakes.
Scope gap detection that reduces “unknown unknowns.”
Clear audit trail for internal checks and bid handoffs.
Repeatable estimating workflows across projects and teams
How QuoteGoat AI Estimating Software Works
1
Upload Plans & Project Documents
Drop in drawings, PDFs, and supporting files—QuoteGoat is built for the formats teams actually receive.
2
Automated Quantity Takeoffs

Key Benefits of Using AI for Construction Estimating
AI transforms estimating from a reactive scramble into a proactive advantage. It automatically reads and extracts data from plans and specifications, flagging conflicts and inconsistencies before they become costly mistakes. It learns from your past projects, applying historical insights to improve future accuracy. It handles repetitive tasks so you can focus on strategic decisions. The result: fewer errors, more complete estimates, and the confidence that comes from knowing nothing was overlooked.
Faster Estimates Without Cutting Corners
Compress the time spent on takeoffs and document review so bids move faster.
Improved Accuracy Through Consistency
Apply repeatable logic across takeoffs and calculations—reducing human error under deadline.
More Defensible Bids
When the scope is clearer, the estimate is easier to review internally and explain externally.
Reduced Risk From Missed Scope
Find gaps earlier so you’re not relying on contingency to cover avoidable omissions.
Scales With Project Size
Whether you’re pricing small jobs or complex builds, the workflow stays consistent and repeatable.
