unlocked.

Basic+ is the top plan — nothing is held back. Two features are yours alone, and they’re the ones worth learning first, because they change how the estimate gets built rather than just what it shows.

Yours alone on Basic+

Basic+ exclusive

Edit item prices

Override the material and labor unit cost on any individual line item, so the estimate reflects your market, your subs, and what you’re actually paying — not a calculated average.

  • Edit unit prices for any item across every category
  • Override material and labor independently
  • Anything you change is flagged Custom, so you always know what’s yours and what’s calculated
  • Reset any item back to the default with one click
  • Changes apply across the whole bid instantly

Find it in the Price List Editor

Basic+ exclusive

Items page

Control what’s actually inside a room. Set what a kitchen or a bathroom includes and how it’s specified, without rebuilding the structure of the project.

  • Define what’s included in rooms like kitchens and baths
  • Set default values per section — cabinets, appliances, countertops
  • Conditional logic for material choices, like granite vs. tile vs. Corian
  • Organize by item groups and locations
