Check it, tweak anything, add your logo, and hand your client a polished PDF.

Why I built this

Built by a steel guy who got tired of slow proposals.

I spent four years detailing steel in Tekla and moved into estimating โ€” and watched good contractors lose jobs simply because a clean proposal took half a day to put together. FrameReady is the tool I wished I had: specs in, professional proposal out, in minutes.

โ€” Ernie, Founder of FrameReady

Why FrameReady

An honest number, fast โ€” without the enterprise price tag.

The big platforms cost thousands and take days. The building sellers hide the price until you hand over your phone number. We just give you a real ballpark and a real proposal.

โšก

Actually instant

A real estimate on screen now โ€” not a "we'll call you" form pretending to be a calculator.

๐Ÿงพ

A proposal, not just a quantity

You get a client-ready, branded proposal document โ€” the part that actually wins the job.

โœ…

You stay in control

FrameReady drafts. You review and approve every line before it ever reaches your client.

FAQ

Questions contractors ask

How does FrameReady estimate a steel building cost?

You enter your building's specs โ€” size, frame type, panels, insulation, add-ons โ€” and FrameReady prices each component from current market rates to produce a ballpark total. It's an estimate to quote and plan from; always verify final numbers before contracting.

What is a steel building proposal?

It's the formal document you hand a client: scope, building specs, line-item pricing, and terms. FrameReady generates a clean, branded version automatically so you don't build it by hand.

How accurate is the estimate?

FrameReady prices on current public market rates for steel building components, so it gives a strong ballpark for quoting and planning. It's a starting point you review and adjust โ€” not a replacement for your final, contracted numbers.

Do I have to send what the AI writes?

Never. FrameReady drafts the proposal; you review, edit, and approve every part before it goes to your client. Nothing sends without you.

How much does it cost?

Getting an instant ballpark estimate is free โ€” no account, no credit card. Contractors who want to receive and claim local buyer leads pay only for the leads they choose to claim, with an optional monthly plan for steady volume. You never pay to look.
