Professional Estimates for Contractors

APARBooks offers a professional bidding form, to meet both industry standards and specific project requirements. Estimators can choose between detailed or summary bidding formats, depending on the level of information the client needs. Our export settings allow full control over whether to include taxes, overhead, or other cost layers, ensuring each bid reflects your company's pricing structure and contractual expectations.

With clean formatting, customizable line items, and branded PDF output, APARBooks helps contractors present bids professionally, reduce revisions, and win more jobs with confidence.

Manual estimating processes often lead to miscalculations that can cost you the profit. APARBooks automatically calculates subtotals, taxes, markups, overhead, and total amounts across your entire estimate, eliminating human error and ensuring complete accuracy. Whether you're adjusting line items, switching between detailed or summary bids, or applying custom formulas, the system recalculates everything in real time.

This ensures your estimates are not only professional in appearance but also mathematically, giving your clients confidence and your team peace of mind.

APARBooks gives contractors full control over how estimates are displayed and exported, ensuring every bid aligns with your client's expectations and your internal standards.

With flexible column settings, you can choose to show detailed breakdowns or totals only for each cost category, including subcontracting, materials, labor, equipment rentals, and services. Our margin and tax settings let you decide whether to display these values in your estimate output, giving you the freedom to hide sensitive markup data or present a fully transparent bid. Every setting adjusts your final PDF export, allowing you to create tailored, professional estimates for different clients.
