Painting Estimates
We built scripts with AI that use project details to generate an estimate. Review 2 hours worth of work, actual painting proposals submitted.
Market-Win (lowest competitive bid to win the project) |
Lean (balanced margin, cost-conscious but sustainable) |
Profit-Heavy (premium margin, used for complex, rushed, or high-risk work) |
Market-Win Model
Margin: ~7%
Purpose: This is the lowest competitive bid. It’s designed to help you win the job when competition is tight and GCs are mostly focused on price.
Use Case: Commodity projects, where volume or relationships matter more than high margins (e.g., large apartment complexes, straightforward repaint jobs).
Lean Model
Margin: ~15%
Purpose: A balanced bid — healthy margin while still competitive.
Use Case: Standard go-to mode for most bids. Enough margin to cover unexpected overruns but not so high that you’re priced out.
Profit Heavy Model
Margin: ~28%
Purpose: A premium bid for projects with complexity, risk, or rush requirements.
Use Case: Specialized coatings, projects with night shifts, high scaffolding/equipment costs, or where the GC/client values reliability more than price.
