How it works

From project to proposal in three steps

Your staff and approved contractors run it inside the quote flow they already use.

1

Describe the project

Enter the job — dimensions, materials, options. No spreadsheets, no manual part lookups across thousands of SKUs.

2

AI builds the estimate

BuiltByPros AI assembles a complete bill of materials from your own part numbers and pricing — reviewable and editable before anything is sent.

3

Send a branded proposal

A clean, branded PDF proposal generates instantly, ready to hand to the customer. Every quote stays in your channel.

The platform

One estimating tool, built for the way distributors sell

Not a generic estimator bolted onto your catalog — a system that knows niche product BOMs and the multi-location model.

Built from your part numbers

Every bill of materials maps to your own SKUs and pricing — so each estimate doubles as an order form.

Branded PDF proposals

Professional, ready-to-send proposals in your branding, generated in minutes instead of hours.

Gated & private access

Behind a login for your staff and approved contractors only. No public access — the tool stays in your channel.

Dedicated secure hosting

Each location runs on a hosted, login-gated URL. Minimal IT lift, no public exposure of your data.

Consistent across locations

Every store and every acquisition quotes the same way from day one — one platform, one method, one data set.

A full suite on the roadmap

The estimator ships today; demand and margin intelligence follow — sequenced with you, included in your license.

Why BuiltByPros AI

A working product, built by people who’ve done the work.

We’ve estimated, sold, and delivered outdoor-living projects for decades — and we’ve spent over a thousand hours building applied AI that already ships. That combination is what a generic, horizontal software vendor can’t match.

Decades in the trade

30+ years estimating, selling, and building the exact projects your contractors quote every day.

A real product, not slideware

A working estimator you can use today — proven in a real quote flow, not a concept on a roadmap.

Human-in-the-loop accuracy

Every estimate is built from your pricing and is reviewable and editable before it goes out. Never a black box.

Your data, your channel

Every quote builds an asset only you can own.

Because the tool is gated and runs on your part numbers, every estimate deepens a proprietary data set that stays inside your business — not the vendor’s, and not your competitors’.
