Get a cost estimate before starting a job — based on similar past projects and industry benchmarks.
The Cost Estimator (Maintenance → Estimator) lets you describe a job and get an estimated cost range before you dispatch or approve it.
Creating an Estimate
Click + New Estimate, describe the work (e.g., "Step cracking in interior CMU walls and vertical/diagonal cracks around window and door openings"), and Inspectr returns a recommended cost range.
How Estimates Are Built
The estimate is built from two sources:
- Your internal average from similar past projects
- Inspectr's broader benchmark from comparable jobs across its data
You'll see both numbers alongside the recommended range.
Understanding the Reasoning
Below the estimate, Inspectr explains the reasoning:
- How many similar projects it compared
- What job types they fell under
- What typical pricing looks like for this scope
Vendor Recommendations
It also surfaces comparable local vendors with ratings, reviews, project count, and a description of why each vendor is a good fit for this specific job.
Tip: Your recent estimates are saved in the left panel so you can reference them later.
