ProjectIQ™ photo-to-estimate

Renovation estimate from photos, notes, and contractor review.

ProjectIQ helps contractors use renovation photos with text or voice context to produce a structured first-pass estimate draft that can be reviewed, adjusted, and turned into customer-ready paperwork.

Contractor beta. Renovation estimate drafts from photos require contractor review before customer use.

Photos plus context

A photo alone rarely tells the whole job. ProjectIQ is positioned around photos combined with notes, scope, conditions, and contractor judgment.

Draft scope from visible conditions

Use photo context to identify likely trades, materials, demolition, finish work, and ambiguity that needs review.

Review before sending

The contractor verifies assumptions, measurements, exclusions, and final pricing before sending anything to the customer.

Photos can speed intake, but they do not remove review

Renovation photos help capture site context quickly. The durable ProjectIQ workflow combines image context with contractor notes and a review step so estimates do not become blind visual guesses.

  • visible scope and condition observations
  • trade and material assumptions for review
  • questions when photos omit measurements or hidden conditions
  • draft estimate structure that a contractor can edit

Example input

DEMO bathroom photo: old tile surround, vanity, toilet, worn floor. Notes: replace shower valve, new tile, paint, keep layout.

ProjectIQ draft output

  • demolition, plumbing, tile, finish, and painting scope draft
  • fixture and material assumptions requiring review
  • measurement and hidden-condition caveats
  • contractor-reviewable renovation estimate draft

Photo estimating should show uncertainty

ProjectIQ’s public positioning should make uncertainty visible: dimensions, hidden damage, code issues, product selections, and site access can change the estimate. No public API is advertised on this page.

Common questions

Can ProjectIQ estimate from one photo?

A photo can help start the draft, but ProjectIQ should be understood as using photos with job descriptions, notes, and contractor review. One photo is not a final estimate.

What renovation work is this for?

The public examples focus on contractor renovation contexts such as bathrooms, kitchens, decks, finishes, and similar jobs where photos and scope notes help prepare a first-pass estimate.

Are photo-based estimates customer-ready?

Only after contractor review. The contractor should verify scope, measurements, assumptions, exclusions, pricing, and customer-facing language.

Use photos to start the estimate, not skip the review.
