The Real Problem

You're Losing Jobs to Slow Estimates

You're on a jobsite with a potential client. You take notes on the back of a business card, promise to "send something over tonight," and drive to the next site. By 9 PM, you're too tired to build the estimate.

Three days later, the client went with someone who sent a quote the same day. That's a $45,000 job you lost — not because your price was wrong, but because you were slow.

The difference between winning and losing most bids isn't price — it's speed.

Voice Memo to Approved Estimate

Talk through the job like you're explaining it to your crew. AI handles the paperwork.

1

Record a Voice Memo On-Site

Standing on the jobsite, describe the scope of work — materials needed, labor hours, timeline, special conditions. Talk naturally, like you're explaining the job to your foreman.

2

AI Transcribes and Extracts Line Items

AI (running locally on BDB's servers, not third-party APIs) transcribes your memo and extracts tasks, quantities, materials, and labor hours into organized line items. Review and adjust as needed.

3

Send for Approval and Track Status

Send the estimate to the client. Track its lifecycle — pending, approved, declined. Tag the lead source (Google Ads, referral, yard sign, etc.) to measure which marketing channels produce actual revenue.

4

Approved Estimates Feed Job Costing

Once approved, the estimate becomes the financial baseline for the job. As your crew logs time and captures receipts, actual costs are compared against the estimate on the CFO Dashboard — in real time.

Voice Memo — Henderson Kitchen Remodel
Transcribed
"Alright, this is the Henderson kitchen remodel. We're looking at demo of the existing cabinets and countertops, probably two days of demo with two guys. New cabinets — client wants shaker-style, white, about 14 linear feet uppers and 16 feet lowers. Quartz countertops, roughly 45 square feet. Plumbing relocation for the sink — moving it about 4 feet to the island. Electrical — need to add 6 recessed lights and 3 under-cabinet outlets. Tile backsplash, about 30 square feet, subway tile. Painting the whole kitchen, ceiling included. I'm thinking 3 weeks total with a two-man crew."
