P2P Estimating

P2P Estimating is AI estimating software for subcontractors who price work from construction plans. It is most useful to teams in one of its 28 supported trades that want to accelerate takeoffs using their own labor and material rates. Its focused workflow is appealing, but estimates remain drafts that need review before bidding.

Overview

Upload PDFs, images, or CAD files such as DWG and DXF, including multi-sheet sets. P2P says its AI identifies the trade’s scope, measures counts, lengths, and areas, then prices the takeoff against the customer’s rates. That gives subcontractors a purpose-built path from plans to a priced estimate; it is not a hands-off route to a bid, since users should check each draft.

A blueprint can be uploaded to create a free shareable link without logging in, while an AI takeoff requires a free account. The upload flow says the blueprint is not shared. Estimates use roughly $25–$75 of credit depending on plan size, so monthly coin allowances translate into only approximate estimate counts. Editing or repricing a saved estimate costs no extra credit, and failed generations do not consume credit.

Key features

• Trade-specific takeoffs: Support for 28 trades and measurements of counts, lengths, and areas make P2P relevant to a range of subcontracting scopes. The trade focus is a strength, but output review remains part of the estimating work.
• Flexible plan inputs: PDF, image, and CAD uploads, including DWG and DXF, plus multi-sheet sets accommodate different blueprint formats and larger plan sets.
• Estimate follow-through: Saved estimates can be edited or repriced without additional credit. Pro adds email distribution and a Kanban board, while Business and Enterprise add professional reviews; these features may help teams carry estimates further through bidding, but do not remove the need to assess the AI draft.

Pricing

P2P uses a freemium, month-to-month model. Paid plans can be upgraded, downgraded, or canceled at any time. A takeoff consumes roughly $25–$75 of credit depending on plan size, so compare the included coins with expected estimate volume rather than treating the advertised estimate counts as fixed guarantees.

• Free — free: 5,000 coins on signup, described as enough for a first takeoff, plus AI blueprint takeoff, saved estimates and repricing, and AI estimating chat. It is a sensible way to try the core workflow, but it is a one-time signup allowance rather than a monthly quota.
• Starter — $99 a month: 10,000 coins monthly, about 3 estimates, AI estimating, blueprint upload, basic reports, and an AI assistant. It is the entry paid option for a subcontractor with modest recurring volume; the allowance is limited compared with higher tiers.
• Pro — $249 a month: 25,000 coins monthly, about 7 estimates, plus email distribution, a Kanban board, contractor search, and priority processing. This suits teams that need more monthly capacity and bid follow-through tools.
• Business — $499 a month: 50,000 coins monthly, about 14 estimates, three professional reviews per month, job intelligence, and dedicated support. It is aimed at higher-volume operations that can use review and support capacity.
• Enterprise — $999 a month: 100,000 coins monthly, about 28 estimates, five professional reviews monthly, a free website and CRM, 50 solicitations monthly, and an account manager. The broader package fits teams needing these additional business tools, though it carries the highest fixed monthly cost.

All paid plans are billed monthly at the stated rate; annual billing is also shown at $990/yr for Starter, $2,490/yr for Pro, $4,990/yr for Business, and $9,990/yr for Enterprise. No seat limits are stated, so team size should not be inferred from the plan names.

Platforms

P2P Estimating runs on the web. That is a straightforward fit for browser-based estimating, but the platform offering does not include a separate mobile app.

Who it's for

Subcontractors in a supported trade who regularly receive digital plans and want estimates priced to their own rates are the clearest fit. The free allowance makes a first takeoff accessible, while paid tiers scale coin capacity and add varying levels of reporting, distribution, reviews, and business support. Contractors who need an estimate to be bid-ready without human review, or who need a mobile-native app, should consider another tool.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Support for 28 trades and PDF, image, and CAD plan uploads gives subcontractors a broad way to start a trade-specific takeoff.
• Pro: Saved estimate edits and repricing use no extra credit, and failed generations do not consume credit, reducing the cost risk of refining or retrying work.
• Pro: Flexible monthly terms let customers change or cancel plans without a long-term commitment.
• Con: Each estimate is a draft that should be reviewed before bidding, so the AI does not eliminate estimating oversight.
• Con: The stated $25–$75 credit use per estimate makes monthly capacity approximate; users with variable or heavy workloads may need a higher tier.
• Con: Web is the only supported platform, which limits the fit for teams seeking dedicated mobile apps.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Concrete Contractor Software. Consider these alternatives when their platforms, pricing approach, or workflow better match your operation:

• ContractorCounter is worth considering if you need Android, iOS, macOS, or Windows support alongside web. Its free workspace includes markup, measurement, and quoting, while exports and sharing require paid access or eligibility.
• Fieseros may suit a small operation looking for a broad job-management starting point: its free plan includes 100 lifetime jobs, leads and customers, quotes and estimates, a basic calendar, invoices and payments, and before/after photos.
• BrickControl is an option if you want construction software across a wider range of desktop and mobile platforms and are prepared to consider a paid subscription; its Basic plan is $64 a month and includes two users.
• Ruh AI may appeal if human estimator review and sign-off on every line of real bids is central to your workflow; its first month is free and can be canceled anytime.
• The EDGE is another estimating option for teams looking for web, iOS, Windows, or API access.
• Loop is an alternative for teams seeking an Android, iOS, web, or API offering.
• Slabstack is an alternative for teams seeking an Android, iOS, or web offering.
• ConcreteGo is an alternative for teams seeking an Android, iOS, or web offering.

Verdict

P2P Estimating is a strong fit for subcontractors in its 28 supported trades who want to turn digital plans into takeoffs priced to their own rates, with a free first step and paid capacity that scales. Choose it for that trade-oriented workflow and flexible monthly plans; look elsewhere if you need a bid-ready result without review, a mobile app, or a predictable per-estimate cost independent of coin use.
