BauBudget: Cost Estimator – estimate renovation costs and review quotes
BauBudget helps homeowners, property owners and renovators better understand construction, repair and remodeling projects. The app analyzes project photos, considers your scope details and creates an initial AI-powered cost estimate.
You can also review contractor quotes you have already received as a photo or PDF. The app helps you understand scope, price level, labor time, transparency and open questions before you make a decision.
Results are meant as guidance and do not replace professional estimating, planning or contractor advice. They help you ask better questions and compare offers with more structure.
