What are we estimating?
Construction parameters / defaults
These are the normal rules for this job type. Change them here for this estimate only.
Saved estimates
Save a calculated estimate without creating a job or quote. Reopen it later or turn it into a quote when required.
Create custom estimator
Tell JobHack what you need in normal language. AI will build the estimator, ask the questions that affect accuracy, and keep refining it. You can still edit every field and calculation yourself.
What are you building?
Choose a job type to create a draft immediately, or type absolutely anything below. JobHack will work out typical construction stages, quantities and material needs, then ask only the important questions.
A draft is not an engineered design. Check site conditions, local requirements and the product specifications before quoting.
Add product specs optional
For product-driven work, add the manufacturer manual or installation sheet. JobHack reads spans, spacings, lengths, model-selection rules, loads and other technical limits so the estimator can use the real product rules.
- Add the measurements or quantities you will enter on every job.
- Add any normal rules that usually stay the same, such as waste or spacing.
- Add calculations only if JobHack needs to work something out automatically.
- Add the materials and tell JobHack how many are needed.
- Add the labour hours.
- Press Launch job type. You can edit it again later.
You can leave any optional section empty. A simple estimator can be just measurements + materials + labour.
Show a complete worked example
1. Job measurements: Length (m) and Width (m).
2. Rules: Waste (%) with a default of 10.
3. Automatic calculation: Area with formula length * width.
4. Material: Decking with quantity area * (1 + waste / 100) and unit m².
5. Labour: Installation with hours area * 1.5.
When you estimate a real deck, you enter the length and width. JobHack then calculates the area, material allowance and labour automatically.
Your work autosaves while you build. The internal formula names are created automatically from the names you type.
1. Job measurements / quantities
These are the numbers you type in when pricing a real job. Start here. Examples: Length, Width, Height, Number of doors, Number of posts.
2. Rules & defaults optional
Use these for normal values that usually stay the same but may change on a particular job. Examples: Waste 10%, Joist spacing 450 mm, Crew size 2.
3. Automatic calculations optional
Use this only when JobHack needs to calculate a new number before it can work out materials or labour.
4. Materials & parts
Add each material or component the job needs. The quantity can be a fixed number such as 4, or a formula such as area * 1.1.
5. Labour
Add the work you want priced. Hours can be fixed, such as 2, or calculated, such as area * 1.5.
Supplier files optional
Only use this if you have a supplier price list or catalogue you want linked to this job type. You do not need this to build the estimator.
