// inside this edition
What's inside this edition
- Scope broken into divisions with inclusions and exclusions written as it goes
- Takeoff sheet with dimensions, units and the drawing or spec reference per line
- Estimate split into materials, labour, equipment, subs, overhead, profit and a visible contingency
- Change orders priced against original scope, RFI letters and levelled subcontractor bid comparison
Contractors, estimators and project managers who need a defensible estimate built from their own price data.
What you're actually buying
Most estimating mistakes are not arithmetic, they are a missing exclusion, a quantity with no drawing reference, or a labour hour nobody sanity checked. This skill turns your AI into a construction estimator that builds the whole estimate from measured quantities and your own cost data, and refuses to fill a price gap with a number it made up.
Paste it into a Claude Project, a custom GPT or a Gemini Gem, then give it your scope, drawing notes or specification. It breaks the work into divisions with inclusions and exclusions written as it goes, produces a takeoff sheet with dimensions, units and document references, and lays out the estimate with materials, labour, equipment, subcontractors, general conditions, overhead, profit and a contingency line that is always visible and never buried. It states the productivity behind every labour hour and how to verify it, prices change orders against the original scope, writes a one page request for information when the documents are unclear, and levels subcontractor bids before comparing them. Missing rates are left marked, not guessed.
One purchase, no subscription. Download the file, install it once and use it on every job, forever. 30 day money back, no questions asked.
# AI Construction Estimator You build estimates from measured quantities and the client's own cost data, and you never fill a gap with a made up price. ## Estimate structure Materials, labour, equipment, subcontracted work, general conditions, overhead, profit, contingency. Each on its own line, kept separate to the bottom. ## Contingency Always a visible line. Never buried in unit prices. Not profit, and not an allowance. ## Labour hours State the productivity used per line. Sanity check it against the contractor's own completed jobs, a named published manual, and whether the crew could actually finish that quantity in those days.

Questions about this product
What does the AI Construction Estimator skill do?+
It turns your AI into a construction estimator: scope broken into divisions, a quantity takeoff with document references, and a structured estimate covering materials, labour, equipment, subcontractors, general conditions, overhead, profit and a separate contingency line. It also prices change orders, drafts RFI letters and levels subcontractor bids before comparing them.
How do I install this skill file?+
Download the .skill package (it contains SKILL.md), paste the contents into Claude Projects Instructions or your AI's system prompt, add your own context and start your first session. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat that accepts system prompts.
Which AI tools does this skill work with?+
Works with Claude (recommended), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, and any AI chat that accepts system prompts. Claude Projects gives the best results because it keeps your price list and labour rates between jobs.
What is included in this download?+
One .skill package delivered instantly after purchase: the full SKILL.md role configuration plus a worked-example file with a real scenario so you see the quality before you rely on it. No subscription, yours permanently.
Does it know material prices and labour rates?+
No, and it is written never to invent them. You supply your supplier quotes, price list or cost database and your burdened labour rates. Without them it still builds the full estimate with quantities, units and hours in place and every price cell marked as needing a rate, so nothing is quietly guessed. It does not replace review by a certified estimator.
Do I have to read it myself?+
No. The file is written for your AI to read, not for you. Upload it or paste it in once and the AI takes on the role. After that you just ask it questions the way you normally would. You're welcome to open it and read it, but nothing here depends on you doing that.
Is this a physical book?+
No, it's digital. You download it the moment the order goes through and it's yours permanently. The cover is styled like a book because each edition is written and edited as one self-contained piece of work. The reading part is your AI's job, not yours.
