// What Makes It Different

Built to survive a real bid.
Not just look good in a screenshot.

Every formula, every cost code, every column earns its place, wired to win work, hold a margin, and get you through a buyout. No bloat, no filler. No subscriptions, no login. One file you own, that opens in Excel and does the job.

[ 01 ]

One File

Estimate, track, and schedule without juggling three separate documents. CSI cost codes roll up automatically as you build the bid, across all 33 CSI divisions.

[ 02 ]

Margin

Estimated, Projected, and Actual tracked side by side, live. Know your margin at every stage of the job, not just at the end.

[ 03 ]

Tested

Every formula verified in real Excel before it ships. Built by an estimator who runs these tools on active commercial projects.

[ 04 ]

Yours

Buy once, keep it. No subscription, no login, no expiry. A year of free updates included. Nothing stops working when that's up.

// Questions

Before you buy

Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers?

Built and tested in real Excel, where every feature works. It opens in Google Sheets too, with a print-ready proposal summary made to survive the jump. Apple Numbers handles the core sheets; a few advanced formatting touches are Excel-first. If you live in Numbers, message me before buying and I'll tell you straight.

Is this a subscription?

No. You buy the file once and it's yours. No login, no monthly fee, no account to manage. Every purchase includes a year of free updates, but nothing stops working when the year's up.

How do I get the file after I pay?

Instant download the moment payment clears, plus an email with the file. No waiting, no "I'll send it over." You're working with it in minutes.

What's the refund policy?

Because it downloads instantly, all sales are final, same as every honest digital-template shop. That's exactly why there's a free calculator: try the build quality before you spend a dollar.

I'm a one-person shop. Overkill?

If you only need one piece, grab a single tracker for $19. No reason to buy what you won't use. But the Complete Suite saves the most exactly when you're wearing every hat: estimating, purchasing, selections, RFIs, and start-up all in sync, for less than the five bought separately.

Can I put it on every machine?

Yes. You bought it, you own it. Put it on your office machines and share it with your estimators, no per-seat fees and no activation limits. Want it branded with your logo or a setup call for the team? Hit "Get a quote" and I'll put it together.
