Its regional budget book covers five states, uses nearest-major-market pricing, and is explicitly not based on supplier quotes.

Field notes

The listed workflow starts with a PDF upload, state, and job type, then relies on printed dimensions; the page cautions that hand sketches and unscaled drawings produce weak results. Its regional budget book covers Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, while explicitly excluding supplier quotes. The page also distinguishes allowances for unseen work from measured quantities and says users can replace allowance amounts.
