Remodeling estimate software is a time-saving, accuracy-designed digital tool that remodelers use to convert measurements into documents that outline all costs of a project—from labor, and materials to markups, shipping, and more. Home remodeling estimating software allows remodelers to automate these calculations, leaving less room for human error that could lead to billing errors down the road. Additionally, remodeling cost estimating software helps remodeling contractors digitize their business, helping to keep estimates organized within the software program or app. As a bonus, estimating software makes it seamless to share estimates with clients, other contractors, or vendors. ### What should a remodel estimate include? At a minimum, a remodeling estimate should contain the following elements: - Your company’s contact information - Your client’s contact information - Date the estimate was prepared - Item names, quantities, and price for each material required to execute a project (you can include labor in the price or as a separate line item) - Subtotal, taxes, fees, and the total - A place for both parties to sign and date the estimate once approved If you want to add a competitive edge to your estimate, we recommend including: - Your company’s logo adds an extra dose of professionalism - Inspirational images to help clients visualize what they’re getting - Dreamy descriptions of items to show how you plan to use them - Terms and conditions that include any important information your client should be privy to before signing - A payment schedule so your client knows when to expect an invoice [Sign up for a free trial](https://www.houzz.com/houzz-pro/pricing) of Houzz Pro’s home remodeling estimating software to create an estimate that includes all of these elements and more! To continue learning, check out our [full guide to creating a remodeler estimate](/pro-learn/blog/remodeling-estimate-template) that comes complete with a free template. ### What software do professional remodelers use? When looking for a remodeling estimating software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features: 1. Cloud-based: A cloud-based remodeling estimating software will help keep your estimates organized in the cloud so any team member, contractor, or client can access them when they need to. It also ensures you only ever have one version of an estimate floating around to create a single source of truth. 1. Integrations: The remodeling cost estimating software you choose should integrate with your other business tools so you don’t have to completely overhaul the way you work. Integrations with Gmail, Zoom and accounting software like QuickBooks Online are some important integrations to look for as you’ll commonly be using these tools to send and communicate your estimates, then align them with your business finances. 1. All-In-One Tools: Home remodeling estimate software is most useful for busy remodelers when it has other features that help optimize the entire project workflow. For example, if you use one tool to create your estimates and another to create invoices, you’ll be spending a lot of time entering the same data twice, which could hold you back from taking on more projects. Be sure to look for tools that can tackle takeoffs, estimates, invoices, change orders, and more so you can achieve maximum business efficiency. P.S. Houzz Pro’s remodeling estimating software for Mac and Windows checks all of the boxes on this wishlist.
