Construction estimating software that remembers what things actually cost

Takeoffs measured right on your plans, assemblies that price themselves, and proposals your clients sign online — all feeding one cost history that makes every next bid sharper.

See pricing — it's public · Why SelfConstruct

Measure once, price everything

Upload a plan sheet, set the scale, and draw your takeoff directly on it — walls, areas, counts. Takeoff quantities flow into estimate lines with your unit costs attached, so the math between the drawing and the number is never a mystery.

Assemblies do the repetitive pricing

Build an assembly once — a wall type, a deck system, a tiled shower — with its parts, waste factors, and cost codes. Next estimate, you enter one quantity and every component prices itself. Your estimating knowledge stops living in one person's head.

Bids that close, with signatures that hold

Estimates become client-ready proposals: scope, inclusions, exclusions, phased pricing, and terms, delivered on a private link with legally documented e-signature acceptance. The demo has a real one you can open right now.

The AI double-check before you sign

The built-in AI office can compare a new bid section-by-section against your actual cost history from completed jobs and flag anything off by more than your tolerance — an electrical miss like the demo company's $6,800 one gets caught before the contract is signed, not after.

Questions builders ask

Does it do plan takeoffs?

Yes — upload plan sheets, verify the scale, and measure linear, area, and count quantities directly on the drawing. Takeoff lines carry cost codes and unit costs into the estimate.

Where do unit costs come from?

From you, once — a cost catalog and assemblies you refine over time, plus actuals from your completed jobs. Your history becomes your most accurate estimator.

Can clients accept bids online?

Yes. Proposals go out on a private link and are accepted with a recorded e-signature — time-stamped, with signer details documented.
