LMN (by Granum)

Bidding for Profit, Not Just Revenue

Most landscapers bid based on gut feeling. LMN forces disciplined estimating. Their flagship is Budget-Based Estimating — input your overhead, labor burden, and equipment costs first. Then every bid has your required profit margin baked in.

In the field, the LMN Crew app (with full Spanish translation) makes time tracking idiot-proof. As crews clock in and out, LMN compares actual hours against estimates in real-time — spot a bleeding job on Tuesday, not a month later.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think LMN is best for: Growing landscaping and snow removal companies who want to stop guessing at margins and need a rigorous, financially-driven system to scale.

One thing to think about is setup. Because estimating is tied to your actual budget, initial onboarding requires a deep dive into your financials. You must put in the work upfront.
