The Fastest Way to Qualify Leads with an Accurate Preliminary Estimate
For more than 20 years, Clear Estimates has helped remodeling contractors build accurate estimates with confidence. Our platform was founded on one core principle: accurate pricing data leads to better decisions and more profitable jobs.
Today, we’re introducing the next evolution of that mission - a faster way to get from lead to qualified opportunity.
Meet the AI Scope Assistant: the fastest way to generate an accurate preliminary estimate using the same trusted cost database contractors have relied on for decades.
Why Fast Lead Qualification Matters More Than Ever
Homeowners expect quick answers. When a prospective client asks for a ballpark price or early estimate, delays can cost you the job entirely.
Many contractors face the same problem:
- Writing estimates takes hours
- Early-stage leads may never convert
- Valuable time is spent pricing projects that aren’t a good fit
The result? Lost opportunities and wasted estimating time.
What contractors really need is a way to produce accurate preliminary estimates fast so they can identify serious prospects, and focus their efforts where it matters most.
Built on 20+ Years of Remodeling Cost Data
Clear Estimates isn’t just estimating software, it’s a cost data authority.
For more than 20 years, we’ve researched remodeling costs across 400+ locations nationwide. Our team conducts an exhaustive quarterly pricing review process to track regional labor and material cost changes, ensuring contractors always work from current, localized pricing data.
This same trusted database powers our new AI Scope Assistant.
That means you’re not getting AI-generated guesses or generalized industry averages. You’re getting estimates built from:
- Real contractor project data
- Thousands of vetted remodeling cost items
- Regional pricing research updated quarterly
- A database contractors have trusted for decades
What is the AI Scope Assistant?
The AI Scope Assistant is an AI-powered project builder that creates a detailed preliminary estimate in minutes.
Instead of manually searching through templates or adding items line by line, contractors simply describe the project scope — just like they would during a client conversation.
For example:
“Full kitchen remodel with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and appliances. Kitchen is approximately 220 square feet. Replace 400 square feet of hardwood flooring in the living room.”
From that description, the AI Scope Assistant assembles a structured estimate using Clear Estimates’ existing cost database.
The process is the same, just dramatically faster.
AI Speed Without Losing Pricing Accuracy
One of the biggest concerns contractors have about AI estimating tools is accuracy.
Here’s the difference:
The AI Scope Assistant does not calculate or change costs.
Instead, it intelligently assembles your estimate using Clear Estimates’ researched pricing data and cost items. The AI builds the project scope - while Clear Estimates provides the numbers.
This approach delivers:
- Faster estimate creation
- Consistent pricing standards
- Reliable preliminary numbers
- Confidence when discussing budgets with clients
You get automation without losing control.
How the AI Scope Assistant Works
Getting started takes only a few minutes:
- Create a new project in Clear Estimates

The Scope Assistant then searches thousands of cost items and similar projects to build your preliminary estimate in minutes.

The AI Scope Assistant eliminates the most time-consuming part of estimate - the initial project scope. You remain fully in control of the final output.
After your project is created, you can:

- Adjust markup and pricing settings
- Customize your proposal
Instead of building estimates from scratch, you'll start with a detailed foundation and refine it easily.
