Cost Estimate AI
Know what your ground-up build or commercial fit-out will really cost - bands quoted from named, published cost guides for Canadian and US metros, with the publisher, edition, and page cited on every figure.
How It Works
From inputs to a defensible cost range in three steps.
Describe
Pick a build type, square footage, region, and finish tier — or hand off from a FloorPlan or RoomVision run.
Estimate
We scale the published per-sqft bands for your metro to your project's size — every figure traceable to a named cost guide.
Share
Review the cited bands side by side, then share a link with your contractor, partner, or lender.

What You Get
Every figure is quoted from a named cost guide, with its edition and page.
Printed bands
The low and high each guide actually prints — side by side, never averaged into a midpoint nobody published.
Published benchmarks
Canadian and US metro figures quoted from named, cited published cost guides — every figure names its publisher, edition, and page.
Stated evidence
Every figure carries its publisher, edition and page — or we show nothing.
3-axis taxonomy
Occupancy × structure × scope — not a single "sqft × rate" guess.
Cross-pillar handoffs
Prefill from FloorPlan, RoomVision, PropertyAI, or upload photos.
Shareable results
Send a public link with the cited bands and evidence dossier, or save the result as a PDF.
Why Cost Estimate AI?
The Challenge
Construction estimating is slow, opaque, and quietly biased. Cost Estimate AI publishes a figure only where a named source stands behind it — and shows nothing where none does.
How AI Has Proven to Help
Every published range is traceable to a named, cited source: a published cost guide reproduced as printed, or verified local project comparables. Where neither exists, we publish no number at all.
