What one job record changes
Measured once, not retyped
Quantities are measured once on the sheet, pushed into the estimate, and locked into the budget — never retyped between tools.
You draw every quantity
Calibrate the sheet and measure with assemblies. Tool suggestions can pick a measuring tool — you still draw every line, so the quantity you price is one you can stand behind.
One job record
Takeoff → estimate → RFQ → budget → field → pay application run on the same job record, so every stage reads the same numbers.
How it works
Six stages, one job record — from the first measurement to the final draw.
- 1TakeoffCalibrate the sheet and measure with assemblies. You draw every quantity.
- 2EstimatePushed quantities land on hierarchical lines you price from your catalog, then lock.
- 3RFQIssue a frozen bid package per trade, track sent vs received quotes, and award once.
- 4BudgetThe locked estimate becomes the baseline — committed, actual, and remain in one view.
- 5FieldCrew marks plans, logs the day, and clocks time. Sync rejoins the same job.
- 6Pay applicationSeed the continuation sheet from the SOV, carry retainage forward, certify, and print.

Questions teams ask
Straight answers for estimators, PMs, and owners evaluating EstiLumina.
- What is EstiLumina?
- EstiLumina is a construction workspace for subcontractors, homebuilders, and mid-market general contractors. One job path connects takeoff → estimate → bids / RFQ → locked budget → field → pay applications so numbers stay on the same job record.
- Who is EstiLumina for?
- Trade contractors running takeoff and bids, homebuilders who need selections and homeowner portals, and commercial GCs who need RFQ, job cost, field, and progress billing in one place.
- How much does EstiLumina cost?
- Packages are $199 / $299 / $499 per month (Subcontractor, Homebuilder, Commercial) with 1, 2, and 4 included seats. Extra internal seats are $29/mo. Portal collaborators stay free. Start with one job free for 14 days — no credit card — then subscribe in Billing when you are ready.
- What are the trial terms?
- 14 days free on one job with full product features. No credit card to begin. Invite your team when you subscribe. Export your job data anytime from the workspace.
- Do portal collaborators use a paid seat?
- No. Owners and trades responding on signed portal links do not consume a full workspace seat.
- Does EstiLumina measure the drawings for me?
- No. You calibrate the sheet and draw every quantity. Tool suggestions can pick a measuring tool; they never draw the takeoff. The number you price is the number you drew.
- Does EstiLumina include BIM or CAD modeling?
- No. Drawings are a PDF sheet register with revisions — not a CAD or BIM engine. That honesty stays in our product claims.
- Can I run takeoff, estimating, and job cost in one system?
- Yes. Quantities push into the estimate, the locked estimate becomes the budget spine, RFQ awards become commitments, and field actuals rejoin the same money path — without retyping between tools.
- How do homeowners and trades use EstiLumina?
- Through signed portals: homeowners can review selections, approve changes, and pay draws; trades receive frozen RFQ packages and return quotes. Preview as the owner, then invite — you control what they see.
- Is EstiLumina only for large enterprises?
- No. Packages start at a single-seat Subcontractor surface. Commercial adds seats and the full job surface for multi-trade GCs — without requiring an enterprise attestation.
- Where can I see live status and trust details?
- Public status is at /status. Trust, privacy, terms, and subprocessors live under /trust and /legal. Support email is support@estilumina.com.
