About Construction Estimates
Built by a contractor who got tired of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and guessing.
The Story
After 30+ years in the construction industry — building ornamental iron gates, fences, and automated entry systems — one thing never changed: estimating was always a pain.
Spreadsheets were slow. Handwritten quotes got lost. Generic software didn't understand how contractors actually work. So we built something better.
Construction Estimates is a purpose-built tool for contractors who need to price jobs fast, generate professional proposals, and get back to the work that actually pays. It's not a generic business tool with a construction skin. It was built from the ground up by someone who's stood in the field, measured the opening, and written the quote on the tailgate.
Meet Josiah Fuerte
Josiah has spent 30+ years in the ornamental iron and gate automation industry. He's built thousands of gates, fences, and automated entry systems across California.
Frustrated by the lack of good estimating tools for small contractors, he built Construction Estimates to solve his own problem — and now shares it with every trade in the industry.
He also created Ornamental Designer Pro, a browser-based tool for creating professional ornamental iron drawings.
