Get Started FreeEstimation Intelligence FAQ
Does the estimation intelligence work offline?
Yes. The task catalog, material definitions, and dependency rules all sync to your device and run locally. Task suggestions, dependency checks, and pricing calculations work without any internet connection.
Can I customize the task suggestions?
Buildlr comes with a curated system catalog, but you can create your own task templates, override system templates, adjust formulas, and set your own material definitions. Your company’s customizations take priority over system defaults, and they sync across your entire team.
How does the automatic pricing work?
Buildlr uses real formulas that reference your room dimensions (wall area, floor area, perimeter), task details, and material quantities. Labor is calculated as hours per trade multiplied by your configured labor rate. Every formula is transparent and customizable.
What happens when I switch materials?
When you select a different material option, Buildlr automatically recalculates everything. Quantities, waste factors, labor time, and unit prices all update. Your estimate total updates instantly.
Is the task catalog available for my type of work?
Buildlr’s initial catalog focuses on interior renovation and remodeling tasks common in the DACH market: bathroom renovations, kitchen remodels, tiling, painting, drywall, plumbing, electrical, and more. The catalog is continuously expanding, and you can add any custom tasks specific to your business.
