🧮 Welcome to PrecisionEstimator

PrecisionEstimator is an open-source Python application built to streamline construction cost estimating for contractors, remodelers, and project managers. It was developed by Giampiero Zampolli to serve the real-world needs of Precision Build Pros, a contracting company based in Tennessee.

This tool helps generate quick and accurate labor cost estimates using a customizable pricing sheet, so you can spend less time quoting and more time building.
