Estima: free construction toolkit — get an engineering-grade cost estimate (real quantity takeoffs, regional material/labour rates, not a flat per-sqft guess) in under a minute. Won't replace a detailed quote from drawings, but gives you a serious starting number. Also includes in-depth build guides, 17+ site calculators, engineering insights, and EstimaOS to manage active builds. Free, worldwide, no signup.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Estima solo over the past couple months after getting frustrated with how bad most online construction cost calculators are — they just multiply a flat rate by square footage and call it an estimate.
Estima actually runs quantity takeoffs (concrete volumes, rebar weights, cable lengths, etc.) and prices them against real regional material and labour rates across 10+ countries — so it's a genuinely useful starting number, not a guess. It won't replace a detailed quote from actual drawings, but it'll get you way closer, way faster.
Beyond the estimator, there's a growing library of construction guides, 17+ free site calculators, and EstimaOS for managing a build once work starts.
Everything's free, no signup needed — would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone who's dealt with the pain of getting a fast, credible cost number before committing to a project. What would make this more useful for you?
