Quotr.ai Service Has Delivered Estimates for $1.2B+ in Construction Projects
Recently, we took stock of the work. In September 2026, we reviewed the full record of Quotr Service engagements to date — every takeoff, estimate, and bid package the desk has delivered — and the numbers told a clear story: Quotr Service now delivers more than 300 service projects a month, and has supported construction projects worth over $1.2 billion in total.
That work runs across single-family homes, multifamily and senior-living, national retail, public infrastructure, and — more and more lately — AI data centers.
The number is nice. But it isn’t really the point. What it means for you is simpler: when a bid lands on your desk and there aren’t enough hours in the week to price it properly, there’s a team you can hand it to. One that moves fast, knows the trade, and gives you back something you can actually keep working with.
You bring the project. We deliver the estimate.
Fast delivery, senior review, lower cost
A deadline doesn’t care that it’s Saturday. So we don’t either — the desk runs seven days a week, because that’s when a lot of bids are actually due.
About 4× faster than a traditional estimating service. Quotr AI — our estimating software — does the heavy lifting on the takeoff. Our estimators do the judgment: scope, pricing, and the calls a machine shouldn’t make on its own. Your project doesn’t sit until Monday.
Our software and our estimators, working together. Quotr AI and our senior cost estimators work side by side to minimize human error and get it done for you. The software handles the takeoff and the numbers; a cost estimator reviews the scope, the quantities, the pricing, and the assumptions underneath before the estimate leaves the building. You get the speed of the software and the eye of an experienced estimator on the same job.
It costs you less. Because the software makes our team faster, the work comes in below what the old way costs — and you didn’t have to do it yourself. Bring us a single bid or a steady stream; both work fine. (If you’re weighing this against hiring an in-house estimator, we ran the actual math.)
You get the estimate — and the project it came from
This is the part we’re proudest of.
You don’t just get a PDF, a spreadsheet, and an email. You get the actual project, shared with you inside Quotr AI. Open it, change a quantity, adjust a price, click any number and see exactly where on the drawing it came from. And you can ask it questions, in plain language:
- Where does this quantity come from?
- What’s in the masonry scope?
- What labor assumptions went into this? The takeoff, the cost breakdown, and the source references all live in one place, so those questions have somewhere to go. Alongside the shared project you still get everything you’d expect — marked-up PDF drawings, detailed Excel files and bills of quantities, material and labor breakdowns, and proposals in whatever format the job needs.
A static spreadsheet and a separate email thread is the old way. This is an estimate you can keep working in.
Where we’ve spent the most time: electrical, HVAC, and masonry
Different trades require different estimating judgment. Here’s where we’ve gone deepest.
Electrical
We’ve priced electrical on commercial buildings, public and institutional jobs, low-voltage and AV fit-outs, and mission-critical infrastructure. Lighting and device takeoffs, equipment, panel and feeder scope, conduit and wiring, equipment connections — with marked-up drawings and scope notes that hold up when the GC starts asking questions.
The trick with electrical is that a fixture count is only the start. The distribution and installation scope behind it has to make it into the number too, and that means reading across the drawings, the schedules, and the equipment specs. We organize all of that into something you can review and price. (More: outsourced electrical estimating & takeoff services.)
HVAC
We handle HVAC for multifamily, senior-living, commercial, and public-facility work — ductwork and fittings, equipment schedules, diffusers, fire and smoke dampers, insulation, and installation labor.
Renovations are where it gets interesting. On a partially built project, the estimate has to tell what’s already installed apart from what’s left — separating the main ductwork that’s in from the connections, dampers, and diffusers still to come, and the labor with them. We build the takeoff around the scope you’re actually pricing, whether that’s a labor-only package, equipment counts for supplier quotes, or a full detailed estimate. (More: outsourced HVAC estimating services.)
Masonry
Masonry is one of the deepest benches we have — McDonald’s, ALDI, Dollar Tree, QuikTrip, and a lot of other commercial and retail work. Brick veneer, CMU, split-face CMU, cast stone, stone veneer, stucco — and all the parts that don’t show up on the elevation: reinforcing, mortar, grout, flashing, ties, anchors, weeps, cavity drainage, scaffolding, and the labor to put it up.
We tie those quantities to real cost estimates, proposals, and supplier RFQ packages. On the QuikTrip work, that’s meant sorting out owner-furnished material from what the sub actually buys and modeling the installation labor honestly. Purchasing, supporting materials, and install scope each end up with a clear place in the bid.
And every other trade
Past electrical, HVAC, and masonry, we cover plumbing, concrete, civil and sitework, framing and lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, painting, insulation, rebar, and post-tensioning — plus the odd stuff like signage, window treatments, and interior finishes. Bring one subcontractor package or a whole all-trade budget; the deliverable follows the project and how you need to use it. (See the full construction estimating services overview, or the concrete and sitework
From homes to infrastructure to AI data centers
On the residential side alone we’ve priced more than 300 single-family homes, plus multifamily, senior-living, and modular work. We’ve also backed contractors and vendors on projects involving Apple, Walmart, McDonald’s, ALDI, 7-Eleven, QuikTrip, KB Home, Duke University, and Florida Atlantic University.
A few jobs give you the range better than a list would.
A masonry and stucco bid, on a McDonald’s. On a McDonald’s build in Pharr, Texas, we priced the masonry and stucco — brick veneer, CMU, moisture barriers, equipment, scaffolding — and put together the full bid proposal. The scope went past the visible wall: the supporting materials and the install equipment showed up in the package too, organized into a submission the contractor could hand over as-is.
A transit shelter replacement, priced for night work. On the Old Town Transit Center shelter-replacement job, we built the detailed estimate and helped with the owner submission and the change-order work that followed. Demolition, electrical, materials, night-work labor, general requirements — the conditions the work actually happens under belonged in the price, so we tied them to the labor model and the cost breakdown. That gave the contractor a documented basis when the cost conversations started.
An AI data center, from concept to infrastructure cost. Our preconstruction and advisory work now includes AI and GPU data-center infrastructure — GB300 deployment planning, electrical distribution, liquid-cooling interfaces, rough-order-of-magnitude budgets, and high-level scheduling. These start as concept-level technical questions and turn into real infrastructure numbers: power, cooling, equipment, vendor coordination, and procurement, all in the same conversation.
How it actually works
Send us the project. Drawings, specs, any addenda, the trades you need, your deadline, and the format you want it back in.
We estimate it. Quotr AI builds the takeoff and the cost estimate; a senior estimator reviews it before it goes out. Depending on the job, that can include materials, labor, equipment, freight, taxes, waste, overhead, profit, and the proposal itself.
You get it back — with the shared project. Review the estimate and the documents, then open the Quotr AI project: edit quantities or pricing, follow the source references, ask it questions about the work.
And when the project changes, we’re still here. Addenda, revisions, supplier price updates, bid adjustments, change-order docs — you keep working with the same team that built the original estimate, not a new one every time.
Whether it’s an early feasibility budget or a detailed subcontractor bid, the point is the same: finish the work, and make the handoff genuinely useful.
What it costs
Quotr Service is quoted per project. Send your drawings and scope and you’ll get a price back before any work starts — because a single-trade takeoff and a full all-trade budget aren’t the same job, and you shouldn’t pay like they are.
Every Service delivery comes with the shared Quotr AI project. And if you want to run takeoffs in-house too, the software runs on simple per-seat plans:
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Quotr Lite | $79/seat/month | Essential AI takeoff — the AI agent, on-screen takeoff tools, AI symbol and area detection, and a custom database. |
| Quotr Plus | $299/seat/month | Everything in Lite, plus advanced AI, the full Quotr database, project sharing, 2,000 sq ft of monthly takeoff service credits, and a 10% procurement discount. |
| Quotr Enterprise | Custom | Tailored workflows, priority support, and a dedicated customer success manager. |
Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, and plans are month-to-month. If you go with Plus, those monthly service credits are Quotr Service — done-for-you takeoff, built right into the plan. See full pricing →

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Quotr Service? Quotr Service is a done-for-you construction estimating desk. You send drawings and scope; our team uses Quotr AI to build the takeoff and cost estimate, a senior estimator reviews it, and you get back a completed takeoff, cost estimate, or bid package — plus a shared Quotr AI project you can edit and ask questions about. The desk delivers 300+ projects a month and has supported over $1.2 billion in cumulative construction value.
How fast is Quotr Service? About 4× faster than a traditional cost-estimating service, and it runs seven days a week so weekend bid deadlines keep moving. Quotr AI drives the takeoff and estimating; senior estimators handle scope review, pricing, and deliverables.
What trades does Quotr Service cover? Electrical, HVAC, and masonry are areas of deep experience, and the desk also covers plumbing, concrete, civil and sitework, framing and lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, painting, insulation, rebar, and post-tensioning, plus specialties like signage and interior finishes. You can bring one subcontractor package or an all-trade budget.
What do I actually receive? A completed takeoff, cost estimate, or bid package in your format — marked-up PDF drawings, detailed Excel files and bills of quantities, material and labor breakdowns, and proposals — plus a shared Quotr AI project where you can edit quantities and pricing, follow source references, and ask questions about the work.
How is this different from a traditional estimating firm? Two things. Speed, because Quotr AI does the heavy takeoff work under senior-estimator review. And the handoff, because every delivery is a live, editable Quotr AI project instead of only a static spreadsheet and an email thread — so your team can keep working with the estimate as the job changes.
Do you support revisions and change orders? Yes — addenda, revisions, supplier price updates, bid adjustments, and change-order documentation, with the same team that built the original estimate.
