Pricing Intelligence
Know the market rate. Before you quote.
Enter your project type, scope, location, and client signals. Get a structured pricing recommendation with cost ranges, risk dimensions, and market context, so you quote with confidence, not guesswork.
The problem
Pricing without market data is guesswork.
You quote from memory or last year's project, not current market conditions
Labor and material costs have shifted and your pricing has not kept up
You lose jobs you should win by quoting too high, and bleed margin on jobs you priced too low
Junior staff have no reference point for what a scope should cost
Every market has different labor rates, contractor premiums, and material availability
The solution
Real market pricing, specific to your project and location.
Analyzes your project type, scope, and location to surface relevant cost benchmarks
Researches local market conditions including labor rates, material pricing, and contractor availability
Identifies risk dimensions that affect your price: site conditions, complexity, client type, schedule
Generates a tiered pricing recommendation with floor, target, and ceiling ranges
Produces a professional report you can share with your team or use internally
Covers all major project types: residential, commercial, multifamily, tenant improvement, and more
What it actually does
Every feature your close needs. Nothing it does not.
Location-Specific Market Research
Labor rates, material costs, and contractor availability vary dramatically by market. TrussNote researches your specific metro area so your pricing reflects what things actually cost there.
Risk Dimension Analysis
Every project has factors that push price up or down: site access, schedule compression, client type, complexity. The report surfaces each risk dimension with a dollar impact estimate.
Tiered Pricing Recommendation
Floor, target, and ceiling ranges with the rationale behind each. Use the floor to compete aggressively, the target to protect margin, and the ceiling to anchor value pricing discussions.
Project Type Coverage
Residential, multifamily, commercial, tenant improvement, industrial, healthcare, education. Each category carries different cost profiles and TrussNote knows them all.
Client and Market Signals
Repeat client versus new client, public versus private sector, negotiated versus competitive bid. Each affects the optimal pricing strategy and the tool incorporates these signals into its recommendation.
Saved Report History
Every pricing analysis is saved to your account. Build a library of market references over time. Compare how conditions have shifted across projects and markets.
How it works
Three steps to a better output.
01
Describe your project and market
Project type, size, location, scope complexity, client type, and schedule. The more context you provide, the more accurate the recommendation.
02
Review your pricing analysis
Cost benchmarks, risk factors, and market context organized into a clear recommendation with floor, target, and ceiling ranges.
03
Quote with confidence
Use the data to anchor your fee or bid, share internally for team alignment, or download the report as a pricing reference.
