Overview
Handoff delivers AI-powered construction cost estimates and back-office tools for residential contractors, remodelers, and handymen. Users describe a project by text or by uploading photos and floor plans, and the AI generates a detailed cost estimate using 1build’s real-time database of prices for millions of materials, labor, and equipment across every US county, with data partnerships from Home Depot and Lowe’s. It differentiates itself with deep, real-time pricing data plus an integrated suite for AI-generated proposals, CRM, invoicing, digital payments, and change orders, all built on a services-first approach that turned thousands of manual estimates into automated workflows. Its goal is to help contractors price jobs accurately, win more work, and reduce paperwork by offering a subscription, including a free trial.
