How AI is used

Fieldbook is an AI-driven estimating tool for residential contractors and home builders. Users describe their project scope in plain English, and the system generates a structured estimate with quantities, unit costs, and totals.

The platform supports solo operators and teams of up to 50 people. It provides transparency by showing the assumptions the AI made during the project scope breakdown, and users can manually override line items or adjust quantities.

Buyers should note that certain features, such as PDF and Excel exports and client portals, are reserved for paid plans. The software is designed to help users prepare initial estimate drafts for bid opportunities.
