Handoff

AI-powered construction and remodeling estimating made simple

Paid United States

Contractors and remodelers hate paperwork: after measuring a job site, you still have to calculate materials, check prices, and build estimates, wasting half your day. Handoff lets you upload blueprints, site photos, or inspection notes, and the AI instantly generates itemized estimates and client-ready proposals.

Features & Use Cases

Covering the entire workflow for residential construction and remodeling. On the estimating and sales side: generate estimates from blueprints, photos, or site walkthroughs in minutes, backed by real-time pricing data across over 60 million SKUs. On the project management side: AI scheduling, daily logs, a client portal for approvals and document management, automated change orders, and automatic file and photo archiving by project. On the financial side: milestone-based automated invoicing, customer financing options, markup rules to protect profit margins, and payment tracking with collection reminders.

Editor's Note

Estimating should have been automated long ago. A contractor's true value lies in evaluating craft methods and site conditions, not manually copying numbers into spreadsheets.

FAQ

Can international contractors use this tool effectively?

The project management and workflow features work globally, but the underlying AI material pricing database is built for US suppliers. International users can still leverage the tool by building custom local price lists and using it as a workflow manager rather than an out-of-the-box pricing engine.

Can the AI-generated estimates be sent directly to clients without review?

It is not recommended. The AI produces a first draft; a human must still review whether any scope items were missed or if site-specific conditions (like old plumbing) need to be factored in. Think of it as a tool that saves 80% of your typing time, leaving the 20% of professional judgment that actually justifies your fees.
