ProjectIQ™ for contractors
AI construction estimating software built around the job notes contractors already have.
ProjectIQ turns job descriptions, photos, voice notes, and rough scope details into structured first-pass estimate drafts that contractors can review, adjust, and send faster.
Contractor beta. First-pass estimate drafts require contractor review before customer use.
Start from messy inputs
Text a bathroom remodel note, send a deck photo, or capture a walkthrough voice note. ProjectIQ is built for real job context, not perfect forms.
Draft scope and quantities
Convert raw notes into trade-by-trade scope, material assumptions, labor lines, and estimate structure that a contractor can inspect.
Keep the contractor in control
ProjectIQ should accelerate estimating judgment. It should not hide assumptions, skip review, or send customer-facing numbers without approval.
What AI estimating should produce
A useful AI construction estimate is more than a total. It should expose the scope, quantities, pricing assumptions, and review points a contractor needs to trust the draft.
- ✓ Scope broken into recognizable trades and work phases
- ✓ Materials list or bill-of-quantities style assumptions
- ✓ Labor, markup, tax, payment terms, and exclusions where relevant
- ✓ Clear caveats when the input is ambiguous or incomplete
Example input
“DEMO bathroom remodel, remove old tile, new shower valve, tile surround, vanity, toilet, paint. Small upstairs bath, older house.”
ProjectIQ draft output
- • demolition and disposal scope
- • plumbing fixture and valve assumptions
- • tile labor and materials breakdown
- • paint, finish, and contingency review notes
Built for contractor review, not blind autopilot
The durable workflow is human-in-the-loop: ProjectIQ helps structure the estimate, then the contractor reviews the assumptions, edits pricing, and decides what to send.
Faster first draft
ProjectIQ is designed to reduce estimating prep time while preserving contractor ownership of the final quote.
Visible assumptions
ProjectIQ is designed to reduce estimating prep time while preserving contractor ownership of the final quote.
Customer-ready after review

AI construction estimating FAQ
Can ProjectIQ replace a contractor estimator?
No. ProjectIQ creates first-pass estimate drafts from job context. A contractor should review scope, assumptions, pricing, exclusions, and customer-facing language before sending anything to a homeowner or client.
What inputs can ProjectIQ use?
The current public product surface emphasizes job descriptions, photos, voice notes, and site context sent through an SMS-first workflow. The goal is to reduce manual estimating prep, not remove professional judgment.
Is ProjectIQ a public API today?
No public API is advertised on this page. Treat API, MCP, or paid tool access as controlled/future unless Nauset publishes dedicated public API documentation.
