Fast Estimating Quotes started with a simple frustration: construction estimating software is usually expensive, complicated, locked behind a costly purchase or monthly subscription — or all three — and the numbers it produces are only as good as the day they were entered. This approach will give the user a quick general construction cost with prechosen items for a basic low cost house estimate. Every thing is grouped just like a builder would need it to build. Easy to update any item, field or price.

The reports are the heart of the program. Once the calculations have completed the system now begins to present the results for the home owner, the Builder, the Banker and a special report to compare pricing items from area stores. Fear is one huge stumbling block for all. With knowledge given here if the price of lumber changes and you have your item prices ( about 130 ) per store correct you will know your personal impact. With this information you can now discuss the reality with the bank or homeowner calmly.

My personal goal. I want to produce a quality product at a reasonable price. I intend to provide a service to anyone in need to know about construction costs at a very reasonable cost.

We built something different. Fast Estimating Quotes is a free Windows app that turns your plan measurements into a complete construction estimate in about 20 seconds, using Home Depot and Lowe's material pricing (more retailers planned) that you will keep updated on your end so the numbers reflect current costs, not last year's. The computer system will keep track of product timeliness and your place in the update process. You can actually watch what the market is doing to your estimate instead of guessing.

It's made for two kinds of people. Builders and small contractors who need a fast, credible number without signing up for another monthly bill — download it, run it on your own computer, and get back on the job. And homeowners who want to understand what a build or remodel should really cost, phase by phase, so they can plan with confidence instead of crossing their fingers.

The app is free and stays free — there's no trial to run out. The only thing we charge for is an optional $10/month upgrade that removes our watermark from printed reports, for pros who want clean documents to hand to clients. That's it. No cloud lock-in, no per-seat pricing, no losing your tools the month you stop paying. Reports are still readable if you don’t mind. I will even go farther, you can quite subscription any time and restart any time! I want to serve you.

Simple, fast estimates. Real prices. On your computer, for free. That's the whole idea.
