Plan construction costs
before you sign a contract.

We help you understand the cost range and sanity-check quotes. We don’t replace your contractor, your permit, or your local inspector.

How estimates work
Pick a project
Choose from 52 calculators. Each one is built around the actual scope decisions for that trade — material grade, dimensions, access difficulty, demolition, permit.
Get a planning range
Every estimate is a low-to-high band, never a single number. Materials, labor, equipment, permits, and contractor markup show as separate lines so you can see what drives the cost.
Adjust for your area
ZIP-zone pricing uses a curated set of metro zones plus state averages for the rest of the country. The calculator scales material, labor, and equipment costs to your region — no contractor lookup required.
Sanity-check quotes
Use the bid-check tool on every calculator to compare a contractor's quote against the planning range. We tell you if it's in band, low, or high.
What we use to build estimates
- Public cost guides — HomeGuide, HomeAdvisor, Homewyse, Fixr, Angi, This Old House, Modernize
- Government data — Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS wages, BLS Producer Price Index, IRS guidance, EPA standards
- Building code references — ICC IRC, IPC, IFGC, IMC 2024 editions; AHJ permit fees
- Manufacturer / supplier MSRPs — Schluter, Mitsubishi, Rinnai, Bona, RadonAway, Custom Building Products
- Industry standards — IICRC S520 (mold), NRPP / NRSB (radon), NWFA (hardwood), NFBA (post-frame)
- Internal calibration — independent benchmarks against published cost books for sanity checks; we never copy or republish protected source data
