Construction estimating software built for Canadian quoting
Turn a short project brief into an itemized, tax-ready estimate in seconds with Bridge AI — then fine-tune the line items, markup, and margin by hand. Every estimate is country-aware, so GST/HST/PST in Canada and state sales tax in the US are built in.
The problem
A detailed estimate can take hours of copying line items from the last similar job and re-checking the math. Slow quotes lose deals, and a single markup or tax error quietly eats the margin on a whole project.
How BuildersBridge solves it
AI-generated estimates
Describe the job in a sentence and Bridge AI drafts an itemized estimate — labour, materials, and subs — that you review and adjust.
Precise, transparent math
Cost, markup, discount, tax, and profit margin are calculated line by line, with correct rounding — the numbers reconcile every time.
Country-aware tax
GST/HST/PST for every Canadian province and state sales tax for the US are applied automatically based on the job's location.
Estimate to project
Approve an estimate and it becomes the project's starting budget — no double entry between sales and delivery.
Quotes & proposals, same workflow
Send the estimate as a client-ready quote or a versioned proposal for portal approval — quote software and estimating software are one tool here, not two.
Frequently asked questions
- How does AI estimating work?
- You write a short brief — for example, a bathroom renovation with a given scope — and Bridge AI produces an itemized estimate with labour, materials, and subcontractor lines. You review, edit quantities and costs, and set your markup before sending.
- Is the tax calculation accurate for Canada?
- Yes. BuildersBridge applies GST/HST/PST by province out of the box, and US state sales tax for American builders, so quotes are tax-ready without manual lookups.
- Can I edit the AI estimate?
- Always. The AI draft is a starting point — every line item, quantity, unit cost, markup, and discount is fully editable before the quote goes out.
- Does an estimate become the project budget?
- Yes. Approving an estimate seeds the project's job-costing budget, so your budget-vs-actual tracking starts from the number you actually quoted.
- Is this also construction quote software?
- Yes — quotes and proposals are the same workflow. The estimate you build is the quote you send: as a PDF, or as a proposal the client approves in their portal, with every version recorded.
- Does it handle Canadian taxes on estimates?
- GST, HST, and PST are applied by province automatically, so an Alberta quote shows 5% GST and an Ontario quote shows 13% HST without manual lookups. (BuildersBridge is software, not tax advice.)
