Post-Frame Estimating Software for Builders
GitEstimate helps post-frame builders design buildings in 3D, create estimates using their own material and labor pricing, and generate detailed parts lists. It's designed for the work your team does every day, not just for showing customers a 3D model.
From building design to a usable estimate
Start with the building your customer wants. Choose dimensions, roof and wall options, openings, and other available features. As the design changes, the estimating system calculates the materials and pricing based on your company's configured parts and rules.
- 3D building design. Work with common post-frame configurations, including enclosed and open buildings, lean-tos, and other supported options.
- Company-specific pricing. Set up the materials, labor, and pricing methods your business uses instead of relying on generic demo prices.
- Detailed parts lists. Review the material quantities and components calculated for the building, not just a total price.
- Saved estimates. Keep building configurations and estimates available for review and follow-up.
- Optional 2D documents. The Builder Pro package adds editable floor plans, elevations, and construction details.
Why company-specific estimating matters
Two builders can quote the same 40-by-60 building differently. They may use different posts, trusses, framing methods, metal, labor rates, and markups. An estimate based only on a generic square-foot price won't capture those differences.
GitEstimate is configured around your company's materials and pricing. That helps your team produce consistent estimates and parts lists, while still reviewing each job before giving a customer a final quote.
Built for builders, dealers, and sales teams
Use GitEstimate internally to prepare and revise estimates. You can also offer a building designer through your website so customers can select dimensions and options before contacting you. With an estimating package, the configured pricing and estimating workflow can support that experience. The 3D-only package captures designs and inquiries but does not generate priced estimates or parts lists.
Because the software runs in a browser, your team can access the estimating workflow without installing a separate desktop program. The estimating packages include up to five user logins.
Setup includes your building methods
We help configure your company profile, materials, pricing, and estimating options. We also review sample buildings with you so you can check quantities and prices before using the system for real customer estimates. You can maintain pricing as costs change.
Post-frame estimating software pricing
3D + Parts & Estimating: $300/month, or $250/month equivalent when paid annually, plus $695 one-time setup. 3D + 2D + Parts & Estimating: $350/month, or $300/month equivalent when paid annually, plus $695 setup. 3D Building Designer: $150/month, or $125/month equivalent when paid annually, plus $295 onboarding; this option is for building design and inquiries, without estimates or parts lists.
Annual rates are monthly equivalents when the full year is paid in advance. See the full plan comparison.
Common questions
Can GitEstimate use our own material and labor prices?
Yes. The estimating packages use your configured component and labor pricing, with help during setup. The free demo uses sample pricing so you can explore the software first.
Does GitEstimate generate material lists?
Yes, with the estimating packages. Material quantities are calculated from the building configuration and the parts and rules set up for your company. Your team should review the output before ordering materials.
Is 2D drawing included?
Builder Pro 2D floor plans, elevations, and construction details are included in the 3D + 2D + Parts & Estimating plan, not the standard estimating plan.
Is post-frame software different from pole barn software?
Builders commonly use both terms for the same type of construction. If you're searching for pole barn estimating software, GitEstimate is designed for that work too.
