The whole job
Leads, estimating, proposals, scheduling, financials and site diary, all on one job.
Estimating
Build detailed estimates with saved price lists and reusable assemblies. Present clients with different options and catch missing costs before you quote.
Proposals
Send clients branded web proposals that look professional and reflect the quality of your work.
Scheduling
Lay out stages, tasks and milestones from what you priced instead of starting from a blank Gantt.
Financials
Your estimate becomes the job budget. Invoices, bills, purchase orders and variations all land against it, so you see your margin while you can still act.
Site diary
Log each day on site with notes, weather and photos, all linked to the job.
Support
We sit down with your team, in person or online, and set Core Estimator up around how you already price and run your jobs. When you have a question, you talk to people who understand building.

Dean Loader spent 25 years building homes before co-founding Core Estimator. When you need help, you’re talking to people who know what a variation is.

“It’s easy to use, and the features like task tracking and the take-off tools have enhanced our efficiency.”
“The software has helped me win jobs with better quote presentation, while also saving time and improving my estimating system.”
