Generative AI

Stuck spending evenings squinting at client photos, manually counting boards and estimating hours? You’re a craftsman, not a data entry clerk. This manual quoting process eats into your billable time and leads to costly guesswork. The key to automation is teaching your AI a precise, consistent pricing framework. Without it, you’ll generate fast but inaccurate quotes. The core principle is calculating your True Hourly Cost. This isn't just your desired wage; it's the fully loaded cost of you or an employee being on the job.
