I'll build your next five bids, free. You send what you priced. I do the rest. See the offer →
Proposal software for contractors who bid projects

Send your estimate. We do the proposal.

The file you already priced is all we need. Your customer gets a web page that explains the whole job.

Free, and you don't set anything up.

What your customer opens

Here it is. Watch it from their side.

An example proposal, filmed from the customer's side. They open a link, and this is what loads.

A page does four things a PDF can't.

All four happen after you hit send, while your customer is deciding.

01

It opens in any browser

Phone, laptop, whatever they open it on. No app, no login, and it still reads right on a small screen.

02

They can ask right on the page

Your customer taps a line, types the question, and it comes straight to you.

03

You know when they opened it

You see every open, and when they saved the PDF. That usually means they're showing somebody else.

04

They can still print it

There's a PDF button right on the page. Same content, your name on the file.

Their side They ask about any line
A customer asking "When do we need to pick the flooring?" about the Flooring - Installation line, $6,050.00
Your side You see every time they open it

The problem

You're not losing on price. You're losing on everything the price doesn't say.

A template answers these the same way for every customer. Finishwork answers them for this one.

Your template Finishwork
Did they understand what I want? The scope, retyped The job in plain words
Have they done a job like mine? Your best photos, every time Photos and reviews from jobs like theirs
What happens next? A payment schedule A timeline, start to finish
What does it cost? A long list of line items Grouped by trade, plus exclusions
“Wait, what's this line?” They call you. Or they don't. They ask you right there
Answer them before they ask.
How it works

Price it the way you always price it.

Send us the file. We do the rest.

You never describe the job to us. You already did that when you priced it.

It checks the numbers as it reads them, and flags anything it can't read.

The smart part, and its limits

The AI never makes up a number.

Other tools will write your proposal from a description of the job. We don't. Your numbers come out of the file you sent.

Never It can't invent a price. Every figure came from your file or your keyboard.
Never It can't write a review. Your customers' words go in exactly as they wrote them.
Never It can't touch your math. It checks every subtotal against yours to the cent, and stops if they don't match.

What it does

It writes the job back in plain words. It sorts your lines into the trades a homeowner knows. It picks the photos and reviews that match this job.

And it draws where the money goes. That chart is your own numbers, nothing else.

Where the money goes From an example proposal
An example proposal's total of $265,262.25, split into construction line items and material allowances, with a bar for each trade showing its dollars and share of the total
The math

“We win about two out of ten. The proposal is the most important document we send — if something moves that even half a point, it's worth it.”

Same leads. Same crew. A quarter more revenue.

That's one contractor's math on their own business, not a promise. Run your own.

Fit

Built for bids that get compared.

This is for you if

  • You bid whole projects: GC, remodeler, concrete, framing, foundations.
  • Your proposal sits next to two others on a kitchen table.
  • The job takes some explaining.
  • Winning one changes your quarter.

It isn't for

  • Service calls and repairs.
  • Quotes that are one line and a number.
  • Anything the customer decides on the spot.

If that's your work, you don't need this, and we'd rather say so.

The offer

I'll build your next five bids.

Send them however they already exist — a Buildertrend export, a spreadsheet, a Word file, a photo of one you wrote by hand. Each one comes back a finished proposal in your brand, ready to send, within three business days.

What that means
  • You don't set anything up. I do that part myself — your logo, your colors, the words you always use, read off your own website. There's no signup form on purpose.
  • It costs nothing, and there's no card. If after five you don't think it made a difference, walk away and keep the PDF of every proposal I built. They're yours — send them, reuse them, retype them. If it did, keep going: the account stays free the whole time we're in beta.
  • I set up every company myself, so I can only take a few at a time.

Two things I'd ask back: tell me what's wrong with it, and tell me when you win one.

Send me a bid

Tell me where to find you and I'll reply today.

I'll reply the same day and tell you where to send the file. A call only if you want one.

Not ready for five? Send me the last bid you lost. I'll rebuild that one and send it back.

Before you ask

The six questions everyone asks.

Do I have to change how I estimate?

No. Price the job where you price it now and send me the file. There's nothing to connect.

Can it get my prices wrong?

No. The AI never writes a price. Every number comes from your file or from you, and you can change any of them. If the math stops adding up, it tells you first.

What does my customer need to open it?

A phone or a computer. It's a web page they open from a link. No app, no login. There's a PDF button on it if they want one, and you can still email them the PDF yourself.

What do I have to set up?

Nothing. Send me your website and a few old proposals and I do the setup myself — your logo, your colors, the words you always use. There's no form to fill in and you don't have to sit through a call.

What happens after the five?

You keep using it. The five are the ones I build for you by hand — after that the account is yours to work in, and it stays free the whole time we're in beta. Send me a sixth if you'd rather I built that one too.

What does it cost?

Nothing while we're in beta, and there's no card. If the five don't make a difference, walk away with the PDF of every one I built. If they do, keep going — it's still free. You'll hear about a price from me before you hear it anywhere else, and the first companies in keep this setup permanently, so when there is one, it won't be yours.

More questions contractors ask

Last thing

You already did the hard part.

The site visit, the takeoff, the hours getting the price right. All of it is spent before your customer reads a word. What you send is the last thing that can change the answer.
