Receive digital, interactive construction estimates + make your selections in real-time

For consumers who are looking to renovate or build a new home and are frustrated with how unclear, static, and lacking detail the quotes are they receive we provide an online, interactive experience that allows them to easily understand what they are getting and make changes on the fly with the price changing in real-time.

Great question! What makes CostCertified possible is the H.A.R.T. Engine. This is the backbone of the platform. It allows contractors to easily build estimates from scratch in real-time with all the costs already built in. Instead of your contractor doing general estimates, they are now able to provide very accurate quotes in an efficient manner. Plus your estimates can be viewed online and you can interact with them by upgrading or removing options and the price changes in real-time.

CostCertified gives you access to a central dashboard using your email and all your estimates moving forward for any project (as long as your contractor is using CostCertified) will be organized on your dashboard. Never again will you need to get estimates in various disorganized formats!

It's easy, simply invite them... it's free and they will thank you for showing them a better way for them to provide interactive, accurate estimates. Sign up for CostCertified and start inviting all your contractors to use it today!

Instead of paying your General Contractor directly, your payments are held in Escrow on the CostCertified platform making sure they are only used for your project. As you probably know, it isn’t uncommon for contractors to get themselves in a situation where they find themselves using new projects to fund old ones. That’s how trades end up getting screwed and you get a lien on your home. By using CostCertified all payments are protected and transparent. That means your General Contractor will get paid and so will your trades. The best part is that you’ll never be left in a helpless situation like so many people who don’t use CostCertified.

IMPORTANT: The payment protection feature is not available yet (it's coming soon) but you can still use the rest of the platform for free.

It’s simple and very common nowadays. You simply connect your bank account through our secure connection and upload payments accordingly. Don’t worry, it is no different than using PayPal where you connect/verify your bank account info. It is highly secure and similar to making bill payments online.

Your project will be broken down very simply in CostCertified for you to follow. Each trade will be completing their jobs in your project and as they complete their jobs you can leave feedback and release the money accordingly. The General Contractor still gets their fees for managing your project but the trades are guaranteed to get paid and are motivated to do a great job.

Of course! In fact, CostCertified saves your General Contractor a lot of money. Normally, a General contractor pays a big percentage of their profit into admin fees (organizing the payment of trades, bank runs, accounting, etc). With CostCertified, the admin is taken care of… they get to focus on what they do best and that’s manage your project.

This is sounds too good to be true, is there a catch?
