Priced from what Tampa Bay work actually costs right now
Every line in an estimate prices against current Craftsman 2026 cost data with ZIP-level Tampa Bay modifiers: Tampa at the national baseline, St Petersburg and Bradenton about 5% below, Lakeland about 7% below. The same scope prices differently in 33602 and 33810, and your bid should know it.
Estimates carry their date. Cost data refreshes on a quarterly cadence, so a bid built today reflects today's material and labor reality instead of last year's memory.
You've already burned your margin before the contract is signed. Unless you can see it.
Most margin is lost at the estimate, not on the job site: a forgotten line here, a memory-priced rate there, and the bid quietly sinks toward cost. Every estimate here reads at three tiers on one screen: Bare, the material-plus-labor floor you never bid; +25%, the expected correct-bid rung; and +50%, the strong-margin price.
The three-tier ladder is a convention any contractor could adopt, and that is the point: it puts the margin decision in the open, on every job, with the floor visible.
From scope to a client-ready bid document without double entry
Build the scope
List work items line by line, or upload a scope document and confirm the extracted lines. Nothing enters the estimate without a human yes.
Ground every line
Price each line against the current local cost data. Unpriced lines stay visibly flagged — an unreviewed line can never hide inside a confident total.
Send a bid that looks like you
Freeze the estimate into a versioned proposal: your company name and Florida license on top, one chosen price, clean scope, and terms your client can sign.
Current local cost guides, refreshed quarterly
Know your profit before you sign.
For the Tampa Bay general contractor who loses margin to guesswork and slow, hand-built estimates, Craft Estimate Pro prices every job from real, current local material and labor costs and shows the exact margin at three markup tiers — Bare, +25%, and +50% — so you bid fast, protect your number, and know your profit before you sign.
