Use AI to review your pricing estimates before sending to catch underpricing, missing costs, and unclear terms.
Before you send that quote, let AI play pricing auditor. Paste your estimate into ChatGPT and ask it to flag anything you might have missed — forgotten materials, vague labour descriptions, timeline gaps, or pricing that seems too low for the scope described. AI won't know your exact market rates, but it's excellent at spotting logical gaps, unclear line items, or places where you haven't accounted for complexity. This works especially well for bigger jobs where you're juggling multiple systems, phases, or unknowns. AI can also help you spot where your quote language is too vague ("fix pipes" vs "replace 12 feet of corroded galvanized supply line with PEX") — specificity protects you from scope creep later. Think of it as a second set of eyes that catches the stuff you overlook when you're rushing between jobs. Run this review every time before hitting send on quotes over a certain dollar amount, or whenever you're pricing unfamiliar work. It takes two minutes and can save you from leaving money on the table or accidentally committing to unprofitable work because you forgot to account for access difficulty, permit time, or disposal fees.
