Estimating & Price Book

Countertop Estimating Software That Gives the Same Number Every Time

Set your rates once — material by tier, edges per linear foot, cutouts per hole, fab and install labor. Then it does not matter who takes the job. The estimate comes out of the same price book, and your margin stops depending on who ran the tape.

Estimating Is Not Quoting

The quote is the paper the customer signs. The estimate is the math underneath it — how many square feet after yield, how many linear feet of ogee, how many cutouts, how many hours on the saw and in the truck. Get the estimate wrong and a pretty quote just makes you lose money faster. Stone Project builds the estimate first, then prints the quote from it.

Where Margin Leaks in a Hand-Built Estimate

Last year's material cost

The spreadsheet on the sales desk is three price increases behind. You find out at the invoice.

Edges counted by eye

Nobody bills the return on the island or the exposed run behind the range. Thirty linear feet a month adds up.

Cutouts thrown in

Farmhouse sink, cooktop, four faucet holes — quoted as one word: "cutouts."

Labor inside the sqft price

When fab and install hide in the material rate, you cannot tell a bad job from a bad price.

Discounts with no trail

Someone shaved ten percent to close it. Six weeks later nobody remembers who, or why.

Two estimators, two numbers

The same kitchen prices $900 apart depending on who walked it. The customer notices.

What Your Price Book Holds

Every line below is a rate you set once. The estimate reads them, does the arithmetic, and shows the total as you draw.

Material by tier

Group colors into Level 1 through Level 6, or price a single color on its own. Granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, porcelain.

Edges per linear foot

Eased, bullnose, ogee, waterfall. Mitered edges, appliance edges and corner curves get their own rates, because they take their own time.

Cutouts per hole

Undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, cooktop, faucet, outlet. Each one a line, each one a price.

Splash

4-inch, full height, and the demo that comes with it. Priced as its own item instead of rounded into the top.

Fabrication and install

Separate rates for shop time and truck time. Tear-out, plumbing disconnect and stairs are their own lines.

Everything else

Templating trips, seam charges, delivery, sealer, minimum job charge. Add your own items with your own units.

Control That Survives a Busy Week

01

Raise a price, choose where it lands

Your supplier bumps quartz. Change it once and pick which price lists take the increase — retail today, builder at the end of the contract.

02

Overrides stay on the job, not in the price book

A builder gets a break on install. Override the line on that estimate. The price book keeps its number and the override is visible on the item.

03

Every price change keeps its history

Price lists keep revisions. When a customer asks why the number moved since spring, you can show them instead of guessing.

04

The number follows the job

Approved estimate becomes the quote, the work order and the invoice. Nobody retypes a total into a second system, so nobody mistypes it.

FAQ

How is this different from quoting software?

Estimating gets you the number. Quoting presents it. You get both here — see the quoting side for what the customer receives.

Can two estimators land on the same number?

Yes. One price book for the shop. Differences come from what they measured, not from what they charged.

Can I run separate pricing for builders?

Yes — keep as many price lists as you need and assign one per client or per job.

Do I have to retype my spreadsheet?

No. Import materials, colors, edges, cutouts and labor by CSV, then adjust in the app.

What does it cost?

$149/month, or $129/month billed annually. 7-day trial, and a free plan that holds up to 20 pieces if you want to start smaller.
