About
InstaBid is a browser-based estimating and job-close platform for residential contractors and specialty trades. Contractors create editable, itemized estimates from project details entered through an online form, review material and labor costs, adjust their own prices and markup, and decide when to send a bid to a customer. The workflow continues from proposal and contract approval to deposit collection through Stripe and calendar scheduling. Other tools include signed change orders, customer follow-ups, subcontractor bid collection, and estimate PDFs that can be branded for the contractor. InstaBid is designed to bring estimating and customer-facing sales tasks into one workflow, helping small contractor businesses manage a job from its initial scope through an approved proposal and planned start date.

About
KonstructIQ is an AI-powered construction and financial platform designed for residential general contractors, remodeling firms, and home builders. It consolidates the full project lifecycle, from fast, professional estimates to budgeting, invoicing, payments, change-order management, cost tracking, subcontractor coordination, and real-time reporting, into a single interface. Its estimating module enables contractors to build detailed bids quickly, using customizable cost codes, markup or margin calculations, and either cost-plus or fixed-price models. Once an estimate is approved, it becomes the project budget; every subsequent bill, invoice, or change order automatically updates the budget so contractors maintain accurate job costing and profitability oversight. Payments to subcontractors or suppliers are built in, and support methods like ACH, checks, debit/credit cards, virtual cards, or Zelle, and invoices can be paid directly by clients through a portal to speed up cash flow.
