Choose the project you are planning

Each calculator shows its supported scope, itemized cost ownership, assumptions, and planning range.

Planning guides

Put the calculator range in context.

Original homeowner guides explain scope choices, model boundaries, material comparisons, and quote questions before you compare a planning range with local bids.

How it works

Build a clearer project budget in three steps

  1. 1

    Choose your project

    Start with the calculator that matches the work you are considering.

  2. 2

    Describe the scope

    Enter only the location, size, materials, and installation details the model supports.

  3. 3

    Review the planning range

    See low, typical, and high costs with components, assumptions, exclusions, and data versions.

Transparent by design

Understand what is behind the estimate.

Supported labor is adjusted with official BLS trade wage data. Materials and equipment use documented national baselines, while removal, disposal, permits, and additional work keep a clear owner in each model.

Every calculator is versioned and calibrated offline. Sources, assumptions, exclusions, and limitations remain visible so you can compare the planning range with qualified local quotes.
