Estimating and Change Orders
Build accurate estimates on site, send them as locked PDF snapshots, and manage scope changes after approval without ever losing the original record. Everything calculates automatically and works without internet.
Estimate builder
Detailed estimates built for the field
Create line-item estimates with tasks and materials broken out separately. Every task includes units, labor cost, and category or room tags. Materials carry vendor pricing with optional markup and sales tax calculated automatically. Pull items from your saved pricing catalog to build estimates faster on repeat jobs.
- Line-item tasks with unit pricing, labor cost, and room/category tags
- Materials with vendor pricing, optional markup override, and sales tax
- Reusable pricing catalog for consistent pricing across jobs
- Automatic labor and materials subtotals with clean totals
- Works entirely offline from the job site
Immutable snapshots
Send it. Lock it. The record never changes.
When you send an estimate, BuiltWright freezes a complete snapshot of every line item, price, and total. That locked record is what the customer sees, and it is what you can reference months later if there is ever a question. The original estimate stays exactly as it was regardless of what changes happen to the job after that point.
- Complete snapshot frozen at the moment of sending
- Includes every task, material, price, markup, and total
- Professional branded PDF generated from the snapshot
- Re-render the PDF anytime and it matches the original exactly
- Protects you and your customer from disputes over scope
Change orders
Scope changed? Handle it cleanly.
Jobs change after approval. BuiltWright lets you create numbered change orders (CO #1, CO #2, and so on) with their own tasks, materials, and cost calculations. Each change order goes through the same approval and locking process as the original estimate. Once approved, it folds into the job's approved work and invoicing flow automatically.
- Numbered change orders keep a clear audit trail
- Each CO has its own tasks, materials, markup, and tax
- Approve and lock COs to generate approved work snapshots
- PDF generation with your branding for each change order
- Approved COs integrate into invoicing automatically
- Original estimate stays untouched and locked
