Project Feasibility Estimating
Tell PreBLD what you want to build — in plain English, or by uploading drawings. It returns a defensible, division-level Class C estimate in minutes, calibrated against real contractor bids. Be first to a credible number while the decision is still live.
PreBLD is built for the feasibility moment — when a developer, GC, or design-build firm needs a construction number they can stand behind, not a guess. Here is what changes.
Whoever puts a defensible number on the table while the decision is still live beats whoever waits three days for a callback. PreBLD turns drawings into a Class C estimate in about ten minutes — fast enough to shape the deal in the room.
Your construction cost isn't a $/sqft guess anymore. PreBLD prices every division against real contractor bid data and hands your lender, client, or investment committee a division-level breakdown — at an honest ±15–20% Class C range you can stand behind.
A feasibility estimate runs 16 to 40 hours of manual takeoff, lookup, and trade-by-trade build-up. PreBLD absorbs it. You review, edit, finalize — and put that time back into the work that wins business.
Four surfaces, one workflow: describe the project, tune the lines, defend the number live, and send it before the meeting ends.
Tell PreBLD what you’re building in plain English — or drop in drawings. A vision model detects scope, and division-level pricing materializes on the sheet as it works.
Slide any line item’s price, or flip a division between Value, Standard, and Premium finish tiers. Your judgment stays in the number — PreBLD just does the takeoff.
Tweak scope, finish level, and square footage while your client talks. One-click toggle between VE, Baseline, and Premium shows the cost–quality tradeoff while it’s still a conversation.
A branded, division-level PDF lands in the client’s inbox the moment the meeting ends — with a client-facing or internal level of detail, your choice. The follow-up becomes a thank-you, not a quote.
Your projects stay private. The calibration gets shared. Project details never leave your workspace — only anonymized cost anchors feed the shared calibration, and that's what makes every firm's estimates sharper.
Estimating labor PreBLD absorbs, at your team's billable rate, not ours. Default inputs assume a small-to-mid team pricing feasibility manually.
No setup. No template fiddling. No waiting on trades.
PDF, JPG, sketch, or the quick wizard. Drawings up to 100 MB. No setup, no template fiddling.
A vision model detects scope. PreBLD prices each item against real construction bid data. The total updates live as it works.
Adjust any line, compare VE / Baseline / Premium, export a branded PDF the moment the meeting ends.
