Most contractors lose 15–30% of revenue because they can't calculate their true cost. EstimIO fixes that — from job input to professional PDF quote in under 2 minutes.

The Problem

You're Already Losing Money.
You Just Don't Know Where.

Most contractors price by gut feel. EstimIO shows you exactly what every job actually costs — before you commit.

💸
Forgetting Your True Labor Cost
Your hourly rate doesn't account for self-employment tax (15.3%), health insurance, workers comp, or drive time. You bill $65/hr and net $38.
"I finished the job and made $8/hour after everything." — r/electricians
🔧
Undercharging for Materials
You source materials, transport them, manage suppliers — and charge clients exactly what you paid. Industry standard markup is 15–25%.
"Why am I sourcing materials for free?" — r/contractor
📋
Scope Creep Eating Your Margin
The job changes mid-project and you eat the cost. No documentation, no change order, no way to charge for it. That "small addition" costs you $300 you'll never see.
"Client keeps adding things and I don't know how to charge." — r/smallbusiness
📊
No Overhead Allocation
Your truck, tools, insurance, phone, and fuel cost $800–1,500/month. None of that is in your bids. Every job subsidizes your business expenses.
"I have no idea if I'm actually making money." — r/plumbers
📄
Looking Unprofessional on Quotes
Texting a number, hand-writing quotes, or emailing a spreadsheet screenshot. Property managers and repeat clients expect a professional document.
"Lost a $12k job because my quote looked sketchy." — r/landscaping
⚠️
Crew Members Underbidding
Estimators bidding independently with no margin floor bleeds your business. No visibility, no enforcement — you find out when you invoice.
"My estimator bid at 12% margin. I found out on the invoice." — r/generalcontractor
