Let your website provide the answer by allowing your prospective clients to access a comprehensive database of real costs by using a simple graphical calculator. For every completed calculator session, you get a full project breakdown that can be modified using real-world variables. Your prospective client gets immediate answers and peace of mind.

 

Built by contractors for contractors, How Much Guru is a powerful, remodeling estimator with a instant project-pricing calculator for your website.

Like most remodeling shows on TV, existing online construction calculators can be wildly misleading. Online cost calculators are usually hosted by third-party websites and at best, offer regional or industry cost averages.  How Much Guru offers a customized solution that is easy for you and your prospective clients to use.

Real Pricing

Customized with your real costs that reflect real pricing.

Guided Options

Step-by-step interface for your clients requiring no construction knowledge.

Why How Much Guru?

No matter how big or small your operation, estimating is a time-consuming aspect of our profession. Whether you have a full-time estimator or you calculate on your own, the time spent on each estimate can range from several hours to several days.

How Much Guru is a subscription-based application with a self-serve calculator embedded within your website that gives prospective clients the ability to quickly obtain price ranges for your services.  Loaded with familiar floor plans and icons, the calculator provides common options for a variety of construction projects. Prospective clients can modify offerings for size and level of finish. They can also choose to have the descriptions and selections emailed for further evaluation.  Either way, you can decide how much information you want to share. 

Each completed calculator session kickstarts the estimating process by providing you with a detailed material list and an Allowance Guide that will dramatically shorten the estimating cycle.

How Much Guru  is for you…​

  • If you have a website
  • If you estimate 3 or more projects per month
  • If you are frustrated with estimating

Let’s Be Honest
