Describe the project.
Get an estimate grounded in what similar work actually cost you before - not a generic template.
Craftsheart connects to your company's past quotations, invoices, and cost records, then produces accurate cost estimates and ready-to-send quotations for new projects - with every figure explainable, not guessed.

The estimate step is where margin quietly leaks - three ways at a time.
The tools most companies rely on to price new work weren't built for costing at all. They're spreadsheets, email threads, and the memory of whichever estimator happens to be on the project. The result is quotes that read confidently and estimate roughly.
Estimated from memory, not from history.
A new quote gets built up from what someone remembers a similar job costing - not from what similar jobs actually finished at.
Material and labour prices go stale.
Rates sit in a spreadsheet that gets refreshed twice a year. Meanwhile costs move quarter to quarter, and the quote absorbs the gap.
Nobody can tell which quotes actually win.
Wins and losses are logged somewhere, but never fed back into pricing. So the strategy never really improves, only the confidence.
Four stages. One grounded number at the end of them.
No template libraries to maintain, no manual rate cards to update every quarter. The engine plugs into where your cost history already lives, then works forwards from there.
Connect
Link past quotations, invoices, and cost records. No manual rate cards, no CSV wrangling.
Estimate
A new project's cost generated from genuinely similar past work, not template arithmetic.
Quote
The estimate becomes a polished, branded quotation - automatically. Not a Word template.
Learn
Win rates and margins tracked over time, sharpening every next quote - not a stale dashboard.
Concrete capabilities, not spreadsheet arithmetic.
Four things, done well. Each one shows up in the product as a visible behaviour you can point at, not a claim on a comparison table.
Historical grounding
The engine pulls the past projects most genuinely similar to a new brief - by scope, size, materials, and finish - and uses them to inform the estimate.
Cost-driver analysis
Line items are flagged when they sit meaningfully above or below the comparable past projects - with the comparison visible on the same screen.
Automated quotation generation
Turn a cost estimate directly into a client-ready document. Your branding, your terms, your finish - filled with the estimate the engine just built.
Margin & win-rate intelligence
Track which pricing levels actually convert - by project type, size, and client segment - informing what the engine suggests for the next similar quote.
Same engine. Two very different pricing problems.
Construction teams need defensibility - a number a client won't push back on. Agencies need consistency - a proposal that doesn't get reinvented from scratch every Monday.
Defensible estimates for genuinely variable scope.
Every line item traceable to a comparable past project. When a client asks why materials sit 8% above last quarter, the answer is one click away, not one meeting.
- Cost history pulled from your own invoices, not a benchmark database
- Line-item comparison against similar past scopes
- Margin bands that hold up under client scrutiny
Consistent pricing across every proposal, not reinvented each time.
Retainer or fixed-scope, a Craftsheart proposal reads like your best proposal - because it's grounded in the shape of your best proposal, not the one you happened to open on your desktop.
- Grounded scope + effort estimates from your delivered work
- Retainer sizing informed by realised utilisation
- Win-rate tracking by proposal type and price band
Grounded estimates. Explainable drivers. Sharper pricing.
Pulled from your own past projects, not a template gallery.
Every line traceable to a comparable past line, not a guessed final number.
Wins and losses inform every next quote, sharpening pricing over time.
