Why estimators choose Bobyard
Have one source of truth
Every estimator prices from the same numbers instead of different or outdated numbers that can cost you the bid or eat into margin.
Bring your pricing with you
Import your existing cost libraries from day one so you aren’t rebuilding years of work.
Protect your margins across categories
When costs are broken out instead of blended into one number, you can see exactly where to make tweaks before it eats into your margin.

Features powering your cost database
• Multiple cost types on one item. Capture material, labor, equipment, and subcontractor cost in a single entry.
• Purchase-unit conversion. Converts your measured quantities into the units you actually buy in.
• Item numbers and accounting codes. Keep every item consistent with how your accounting system already tracks cost.
• Assemblies of assemblies. Combine items and other assemblies into one reusable template, so complex installs are built once, not rebuilt every time.
• Required and optional items. Set what every install needs, plus optional item groups your team can add only when a job calls for it.
• Bid-ready flag. Mark an assembly as fully priced and ready to use, so your team always knows what's good to bid.
• Organize how you need. Structured the way your team already thinks about pricing, not the way software assumes you should.
• Rate groups by location or union. Set different labor rates for different regions, crews, or union agreements, inside the same database.
• Labor type by labor group. A full labor rate table means every estimate pulls the correct rate automatically with no manual lookup.
• Bulk CSV import. Bring in a cost library you've already built, using Bobyard's standardized template.
• Migration support. For larger or more complex libraries, Bobyard's customer success team can help with the transition.

FAQ
A reusable library of pricing across material, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs. In Bobyard, you build it once and it gets applied across every estimate, with no re-entry required.
A spreadsheet works until multiple estimators need the same numbers, or pricing has to change in more than one place. Bobyard keeps one cost database connected to your takeoff and estimate table, so every estimator prices from the same numbers.
Yes, Bobyard provides a standardized bulk-import template, so you can bring in pricing you've already built without re-entering it manually. For larger or more complex libraries, Bobyard's customer success team can help with the migration.
A cost database is your reusable pricing library. An estimate applies that pricing to the specific quantities from a takeoff. In Bobyard, the two connect directly so your database feeds every estimate automatically.
An assembly bundles multiple individual costs like materials, labor, equipment into one reusable template. In Bobyard, assemblies can even contain other assemblies (“nesting”), so your most complex installs are built once and reused on every future job.
