What Students Are Saying
Real results from contractors using modern technology
"The AI module changed everything. I'm using ChatGPT to analyze 50+ page specs in minutes instead of hours. The prompt library alone is worth 10x the course price."
"We were evaluating AccuLynx vs. JobNimbus. This course broke down exactly which was better for our size. Saved us from a $15,000 mistake by picking the wrong platform."
"The automation workflows are incredible. We're now automatically importing EagleView reports into our estimating software. What took 20 minutes of data entry now takes 30 seconds."
"I've been using Excel for 15 years but the advanced formulas module showed me features I never knew existed. My templates are now 10x more powerful and bulletproof."
"The AI spec analysis is a game-changer. I paste in the spec, AI extracts all roofing requirements, and I haven't missed a critical item since. My accuracy has never been better."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy software to take this course?
No! This course teaches you ABOUT software so you can make informed decisions. Most platforms offer free trials or demos. You'll learn what to buy (or not buy) based on your specific needs.
Is AI really useful for estimating, or just hype?
AI is incredibly useful when used correctly. This course shows exactly where AI excels (spec analysis, research, validation) and where it fails (pricing decisions, final approvals). You'll learn to use AI as a powerful assistant, not a replacement for expertise.
I'm not tech-savvy. Will this be too advanced?
Not at all! We start with fundamentals and build up. The course is designed for contractors first, tech people second. If you can use Excel and email, you can learn these tools.
Which software should I buy: AccuLynx or JobNimbus?
It depends on your business! Module 1 and 2 provide a complete comparison framework. Generally, AccuLynx is better for larger commercial contractors, JobNimbus for smaller residential companies. But there are many factors - the course covers all of them.
Will AI replace estimators?
No. AI is a tool that makes good estimators great. It handles tedious tasks (reading specs, research, data entry) so you can focus on judgment, strategy, and client relationships. This course shows you how to stay ahead by embracing AI, not fearing it.
Can I really automate my workflow?
Yes! Module 6 shows exactly how. Most contractors have 5-10 hours per week of manual data entry that can be automated with tools like Zapier. Students report saving 10-20 hours per month after implementing the automation workflows.
What's included with my purchase?
