A whole estimate, returned in under 2 minutes.
What a contractor hands Foremind on intake, and what lands in the inbox 102 seconds after — the band below pins both sides of that arrow so the card you’re about to read is grounded in the inputs that built it.
From intake to tender-ready bid
What arrives in 102 seconds — and what had to go in first.
Foremind doesn’t invent numbers — it reads the same intake a contractor can pull together on a 4G signal, then turns the drawings, photos, and scope notes into a structured bid the moment the intake closes.
- Drawings (PDF) — the floorplan or permit set, even a phone-pad sketch
- Site photos — kitchen, bath, the wall you’re opening up
- Voice memos and scope notes — “demo this, keep that, swap the range wall”
- Rough square footage and a one-line description of the work
- Line items grouped by category — demolition through fixtures
- Totals broken into materials, labor, permits, overhead, and margin
- Labor by trade — hours, crew, and the rate behind the number
- A phased timeline — start/end dates, days, and the deliverable per phase
- A clean PDF download — the same bid, ready to hand to the client
Intake → 102 seconds → Tender-ready bid.
The card below shows both ends of that arrow landing on the same job — the same scope notes, the same line items a contractor would have spent the morning drafting by hand.
Side by side
What manual estimating costs in hours — and what Foremind does in two minutes.
The hours below aren’t a worst case — they’re the median on a single-family remodel. Foremind returns the same bid in the time it takes to walk back to the truck, and the rest of the day goes back into bids, not paperwork.
~6–16 hours · a full workday to a full workweek
- Takeoff from printed plans — measure, count, list
- Three to five supplier calls for current material pricing
- Build the bid spreadsheet — categories, units, subtotals
- Labor calc by trade — hours × crew rate, looked up by hand
- Roll overhead + margin into the grand total
- Second pass after the client revises the scope
~102 seconds · under 2 minutes
- Line items grouped by category — demolition through fixtures

- Labor by trade — hours and crew per phase
- A phased timeline with start dates, durations, and deliverables

- Editable in the live estimator — so revisions don’t start from zero
The hours saved aren’t a smaller team — they’re more bids out the door each week, with the same people.
