Pre-Construction Budget Calculator Tool: A Builder's Best Friend


An image with a stack of paper on the right. On the left it says "introducing Craydl's budget calculator - 5 features that will revolutionalize Your Process."

We're here to introduce you to the Craydl’s construction estimating budget calculator – a tool that stands in its own league and caters specifically to the preconstruction needs of builders, contractors, remodelers, architects, real estate investors, and even house flippers.


We agree with Jacob Barlee's statement that accurate “cost estimation is the best way to do a successful project.” Many builders have large purchasing and estimating teams, but that isn’t an option for everyone. The budget calculator and preconstruction tools and services that Craydl offers provides an opportunity to level the playing field and gives smaller teams the opportunity to complete accurate estimates in less time.


Time-Saving Tools for Successful Construction Projects


Whether you are dealing with an impatient custom home client or competing against other investors on property to flip, time matters. The excitement (or stress) of a new deal can cause you to rush through that process required to develop an accurate quote. This may result in significant damage to your margins. The alternative, losing the deal will also impact your bottom line. We have seen this time and time again, and is a big part of why we are so excited about the calculator tool we offer.



Top 5 Features to Optimize Your Construction Estimate & Quote Process

  1. User-Friendly Design: Our tool guides you with intuitive questions tailored for professionals. Whether you're discussing a project over the phone with a client, meeting them in-person at your office, or walking through the project site with a tablet in hand, our budget calculator is designed for ease and speed.

  2. Detail-Oriented: We understand the mantra of every professional in the construction and real estate industry: it's all about the details. The initial steps involve naming your project, adding an address, and providing a description. This helps you quickly locate and reference the project later. That level of detail continues throughout the input process - no important detail is overlooked or forgotten.

  3. Streamlined Input Process: No more navigating back and forth through endless pages. Our input fields are consolidated on a single page. You'll provide details about the space, both exterior and interior features, structural elements, finishings, supplies, services, fees, bids, taxes, and timelines. It's organized, straightforward, and efficient and it means that adjustments can be made in an instant as clients change their minds or search for the number that fits their budget.

  4. Precise Estimates with Personalized Adjustments: Once you input your specifications, our calculator provides a comprehensive estimate. We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our data, which is continuously updated. But we also recognize the unique expertise professionals bring to the table. That's why you can tweak our estimates to align with your insights, resources and experience.

  5. Convenient Save & Share Features: After you're satisfied with your estimate, save it for future reference. You can also invite clients or colleagues to review, ensuring transparency and collaboration. And if you need a hard copy? Just download it as a PDF.
