The problem
Getting a construction
estimate shouldn't
take weeks.
Juan Cruz is an architect. Throughout his career, he's burned countless hours on cost estimates for every single project. This isn't a hypothetical — this is his daily reality.
Early stage
“How much would this roughly cost?” Even a ballpark requires days of calls, waiting, and often paying for a preliminary study.
Detailed stage
Real numbers mean suppliers, subcontractors, price research, spreadsheets. Weeks of work — on every single project.
