SETUP & ONBOARDING
BUILT FROM REAL-WORLD WORKFLOWS
Built from real-world estimating workflows — not by software engineers who’ve never set foot on a job site.
Build estimates from the ground up with hierarchical Work Breakdown Structures. Every nut, bolt, and labor hour accounted for.
Pre-loaded with NECA labor standards across Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Concrete, Sitework, and General Construction.
Bundle materials into reusable assemblies. Wire a 20A circuit once, use it across every project. Build once, bid forever.
Generate professional client-facing proposals with your branding, payment terms, and scheduling clauses in seconds.
Labor rates, material markup, equipment charges, management fees, overhead, profit — all calculated automatically.
Field conditions change. Generate change orders instantly with full cost impact analysis. No more spreadsheet gymnastics.
Track subs, assign them to WBS phases, and manage their rates and payment schedules. All in one place.
Your data is encrypted, isolated, and never shared. Role-based access ensures the right people see the right information.
FROM BLANK PAGE TO SIGNED PROPOSAL
Four steps. That’s it. From opening the app to handing your client a professional proposal.
Name it, set the client, choose your trade. IronEstimate auto-builds the project structure with your default markup rates, labor burden, and overhead percentages already loaded.
Break the job into phases and tasks. Drag, nest, reorder. Each line item gets materials, labor hours, and equipment automatically calculated from the database.
Pull from 130+ pre-loaded materials with NECA labor units. Or add your own. The markup engine applies your rates, burden, overhead, and profit automatically. No manual math.

NOT BUILT IN A SILICON VALLEY OFFICE
IronEstimate wasn’t designed by software engineers who’ve never pulled wire or poured a footer. It was built by Adam Shefler — a Master Electrician, General Contractor, and PMP-certified project executive who’s managed nearly $200 million in construction revenue across 200+ projects.
Every feature in this platform exists because it solved a real problem on a real job site. The WBS builder mirrors how we actually break down scope. The markup engine reflects how contractors actually price work. The proposal generator produces documents that actually win bids.
