Handoff

A Y Combinator-backed startup using AI to automate estimating for residential contractors — turning vague customer requests into detailed line-item budgets in seconds.

AI Meets the Kitchen Remodel

Estimating a custom remodel is notoriously slow — measure, call subs, price materials, build a spreadsheet. Handoff uses generative AI to solve this. Feed it basic details ("gut renovate a 200 sq ft kitchen with mid-grade finishes") and it generates a detailed line-item budget in seconds.

It goes beyond pricing — helps manage sub-bidding and creates stunning client proposals. An AI pre-construction assistant that lets a remodeler send five accurate bids in the time it used to take to write one.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think Handoff is best for: Residential GCs and remodelers who spend too much time doing unpaid estimating and want AI to drastically speed up their sales cycle.

One thing to think about is maturity. As a newer AI startup, the software is evolving. You must still review AI-generated numbers using your local market expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI generate an estimate?

The AI uses massive construction cost datasets combined with natural language processing to translate your project description into a detailed list of labor and materials.

Is Handoff built for commercial or residential?

Currently heavily optimized for residential general contractors and custom remodelers.

Can I adjust the AI's pricing?

Yes, the AI generates the baseline but you have full control to edit line items, adjust quantities, and modify margins before presenting to the client.
