From described job to sent quote, in four steps

  1. 1

    Describe the job

    Type it, send a voice note or snap a photo of the site. "Replace 3 bathroom faucets, hot water, needed by Friday" is enough. No long forms, no formulas to build.

  2. 2

    Get the itemized quote

    Materials with quantities, labor per line item and the total with tax. Every material carries a real store price, not an old regional average.

  3. 3

    Adjust it your way

    Change quantities, prices or your markup. The total recalculates on its own, so a mis-copied cell never changes your bottom line.

  4. 4

    Send it to the client

    A PDF with your logo, or a link the client opens on their phone with nothing to install. Everything stays saved for the next job.

Real store prices, not a generic database

This is the part no other estimating program gives you. ObraMaestra reads the catalog of the big suppliers in your area (Home Depot, Lowe's and others) and refreshes it every 24 hours, with per-store pricing. We read catalogs: it is not a live sync with their systems, and we say so because the difference matters when you go buy.

Three real US prices, from ObraMaestra's public index

MaterialUnitPrice
2x4x8 stud (lumber)Checked at: Home Depot, Lowe's · Jul 2026ea3 to 5 USD

OSB 7/16" 4x8 sheetChecked at: Home Depot, Lowe's · Jul 2026sheet12 to 16 USD

Pre-tax ranges from ObraMaestra's public survey. The store and month sit next to each row: if a row had no store, it would say so.

What it costs, no fine print

The price is right here because hiding it wastes both our time.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does this estimating software do?
You describe the job in plain words and ObraMaestra builds the itemized quote: materials with quantities, labor per line item, your markup and the total with tax. Then you export it as a branded PDF or share it as a link. Everything stays organized by job and by client.
How much does it cost?
You can try it free for 7 days, no card, with up to 5 quotes. The Pro plan is US$19.90 USD / mo and includes 20 quotes per month, a shopping list with supplier prices, Gantt chart, progress reports and milestone billing.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 7 day trial starts without a card. When it ends, your work stays saved and you unlock it by going Pro whenever you want.
Where do the material prices come from?
From the catalog of the big suppliers in your area (Home Depot, Lowe's and others), with per-store pricing, refreshed every 24 hours. It is catalog reading, not a live sync with their systems. At /precios-materiales we publish the index with the store and month behind each price.
Does it work if I do not know Excel or estimating software?
Yes, and that is the point. No spreadsheets, no formulas, no cost codes to set up: you describe the job the way you would tell a coworker. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use this.
Does the client get something presentable?
Yes. The PDF carries your logo, your details and the line by line breakdown, and it can also go as a link the client opens on their phone with nothing to install.
