The Challenge

Andrew from SKB Remodeling was handling strong demand for kitchen and bathroom projects, but proposal creation was taking anywhere from 90 minutes to 4 hours depending on complexity. With pricing data scattered across spreadsheets and months of ChatGPT conversations, the team could only produce a limited number of proposals each week. This bottleneck was limiting the time Andrew wanted to spend on client relationships and actual project work.

Our Solution

We built an intelligent estimation system that combines automated calculations with field input, allowing SKB to generate accurate proposals in minutes while maintaining flexibility for unique projects.

"Elevaite gave me exactly what I needed: clarity, results, and tools that actually make a difference. They looked at my situation, figured out the angles, and guided me through it like it was no big deal. They didn't just make it work - they made it work better than I thought possible. What they built is practical, powerful, and immediately valuable."
