DemolitionEstimates
Demo Estimating and Business Management — Fast, Simple, All in One
Manage clients, crews, and complex demo jobs — with AI-powered pricing built in. Send quotes, collect payments, and keep your crew moving — from the first bid to the final invoice, all in one platform.
Why Demo Contractors Choose DemolitionEstimates
Stop Underbidding Complex Demo Jobs
Every demo job has a different complexity, debris load, equipment mix, and crew size — and every one of those variables affects your margin. DemolitionEstimates accounts for all of it before you send the quote, so you're not finding out what the job actually cost after the fact.
Cut Bidding Time in Half
Multi-step guided estimates walk you through job specs, debris types, materials, equipment, labor, and fees — with built-in demolition defaults. Send your first professional quote in minutes without starting from a blank spreadsheet. Fully customize every rate as you go, or revert to defaults any time.
Scale from Solo Operator to Full Crew
A solo demo contractor can be up and running in minutes — import existing clients straight from QuickBooks and start estimating. A multi-crew operation gets GPS clock-in/out, crew mobile app, route optimization, and multi-company support without missing a beat. No other estimating tool scales like this.
The Complete Demo Business Toolkit
Every tool a demolition contractor needs to price, schedule, and invoice jobs
Your Business, Supercharged by AI
Four AI tools built right into how you already work — not add-ons, not gimmicks
Know exactly what to charge for every teardown
Your pricing coach, always on. Chat with an AI that has analyzed every demolition estimate you've sent — win rates, complexity margins, and QuickBooks labor and equipment costs — and tells you exactly where to raise or lower prices.
- Selective interior demo: you win more often when complexity adds at least $8/sq ft
- Your operator rate is $95/hr — contractors winning similar jobs charge $115
- Chat: "Am I recovering excavator rental costs on commercial teardowns?"
- QuickBooks labor and equipment costs feed into every recommendation
