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.

Handoff has launched H1, an AI system that autonomously generates material takeoffs from construction blueprints. The model scored 81.6% on the Construction Blueprint Takeoff Benchmark, outperforming eight major AI models that averaged around 55%. H1 completes takeoffs in approximately two hours, compared to eight to 20 hours for experienced human estimators. The system uses specialised agents trained to interpret construction drawings across different trades. The tool is now available to Handoff's Scale Plan subscribers and API customers. Austin-based Handoff AI serves tens of thousands of contractors across the United States and ranks first in estimating software on G2. CEO Dmitry Alexin said the system addresses a critical industry challenge where miscalculations can cause significant cost overruns on residential projects.
