Estimate command
Price the work, explain it clearly, and keep it connected.
Build catalog-backed estimates with job context, confidence, client options, photos, signatures, deposits, contracts, change orders, and clean invoice conversion.
Professional by default
An estimate should help the client decide and help the team build.
Rivetra combines a company item catalog, labor and material context, verified jobsite data, allowances, taxes, discounts, options, photos, and client-facing descriptions in one estimate workflow. Internal prompts and empty fields are removed from the customer document so it reads like finished work rather than a software form.
The estimate audit is a primary workflow, not a hidden AI button. It checks scope coverage, pricing provenance, duplicated allowances, permit context, and missing decisions, then caches the result until relevant data changes. Confidence shows which values came from company data and which were inferred so a contractor knows where human attention belongs.
After approval, the same frozen document context supports signatures, contracts, permit-fee requests, material deposits, milestones, change orders, and invoice conversion. Change orders cannot quietly leave a milestone schedule out of balance.
Reuse approved items and pricing instead of starting from zero.
Contextual line descriptions, options, totals, and photos explain the work.
Frozen envelopes bind signatures and audit events to one document hash.
The approved estimate becomes an invoice without becoming a duplicate draft.
Estimating questions
What makes a contractor estimate useful?
How does Rivetra prevent duplicate permit allowances?
The audit treats permit allowances as identified estimate components, checks for duplication, and caches the reviewed result until the estimate changes.
Can job photos appear on estimates and invoices?
Yes. Selected job photos can appear in previews and customer-facing documents with blank sections omitted.
Does AI pricing become final automatically?
No. AI-generated line items and inferred costs remain proposals. The contractor reviews pricing, scope, permit information, and legal terms before sending.
