• Estimate app for contractors on iPhone

  Writing quotes back at the office slows you down. BidCraft builds detailed estimates with rooms, measurements, labor, materials, quantities, taxes and discounts.

• Create invoice PDFs and track unpaid invoices

  Paper invoices get lost. BidCraft creates invoice PDFs, records payment status and due dates, and shows outstanding work.

• Reusable estimate templates for painting and remodeling jobs

  Similar jobs mean retyping the same lines. BidCraft templates keep recurring work consistent, and you customize each estimate for the job.

• Handyman estimate app for job sites

  Solo handymen often quote on site without a laptop. BidCraft builds the estimate on an iPhone with rooms, measurements, labor and materials, then shares it as a PDF.
