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.

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.
