Case study · A DataCram build

The estimate is where the job is won. We made it take two minutes.

MEP AI Pro turns a plain-English job description and a town into a detailed, line-item estimate — priced with the contractor’s own rates, saved to their account, ready to send. DataCram designed and built the AI engine, the app, and the billing.

MEP AI Pro — the estimating app, with a live labor-savings calculator and a plan-priced call to action

A bid too low eats the margin. A bid too high loses the call.

For a small shop, the estimate is the whole game. Price it wrong and the job either loses money or goes to the contractor who answered faster. So the owner sits at the kitchen table after supper with a calculator and last month’s invoices, guessing — and every hour there is an hour not spent turning a wrench or asleep.

MEP AI Pro takes that off the table. Describe the job, name the town, and the AI writes a detailed, line-item quote in seconds — priced with the shop’s own rates, saved to the account, ready to send before the rival has found his calculator. Not a template. A quote the contractor can trust.

What it does

Describe the job in plain English

Type what the work is and name the town. No forms to wrestle, no template to fill — a sentence in, a full estimate out.

Priced with your own rates

It quotes with the contractor's labor rates and margins, not a generic markup, so the number is one they can stand behind and win with.

Two minutes, not the kitchen table

The hour after supper with a calculator and last month's invoices becomes about two minutes on a phone between jobs.

Every quote, saved and searchable

Estimates live in the account — a record to reopen, edit, and resend, not a one-off that vanishes when the tab closes.

Tuned for the trades

Built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and handyman work, where a bid too low eats the margin and a bid too high loses the call.

The math on the homepage

A live calculator shows the labor hours recovered each month, so a visitor sees the payback before they ever sign up.

Under the hood
