Q:What data does the AI use?

A: The AI analyzes historical project data, current material prices from 5,000+ suppliers, local labor rates, weather patterns, building codes, and market conditions to generate estimates.

Q:Can it handle any project type?

A: Yes! Residential, commercial, industrial, renovations, new construction - the AI has been trained on every type of construction project.

Q:How long does it take to generate an estimate?

A: Most estimates are generated in 5-10 minutes. Complex projects might take up to 30 minutes. Compare that to 4-8 hours for manual estimation.
