Contractor Estimate & Job Costing Tool — Quote & Estimate Template (Excel & Google Sheets)
Still building quotes by hand — and losing money on jobs? 🔧
This estimator does two things every contractor needs: it builds a clean, professional quote in minutes, and it shows your true profit before you send a price. Then, after the job, it tells you whether you actually made that money.
Built for plumbers, electricians, landscapers, builders and independent tradespeople.
