How it works

Read

The quote is broken into the parts that drive cost: for a roof, area, shingle grade, tear-off and labour; for a heat pump, tonnage and efficiency tier; for a kitchen, size, finish level and cabinet grade.

Price

The same scope is priced for your city from published Canadian cost guides, retailer prices, municipal permit schedules and Job Bank trade wages. Every source is cited. See the sources.

Decide

You get the gap in dollars, the lines that explain it, and, with two or three quotes, a normalized price so you can compare like for like.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

A chatbot gives you an opinion. This gives you a reference.

A general chatbot is good at explaining roofing terms and drafting questions for a contractor. It is not built to price a specific job in a specific Canadian city and show its work. That is the whole product here.

A national range from memory, often years old and usually in US dollars.
QuoteSaver
A range for your city, priced from 48 cited Canadian sources: Job Bank trade wages, municipal permit schedules, retailer prices and cost guides.
Your quote
Chatbot
A summary of what it says.
QuoteSaver
Every line read and matched to a standard scope item, so an unexplained "project management" fee or missing tear-off is flagged.
Comparing quotes
Chatbot
Points out which total is lowest.
QuoteSaver
Values the extras each contractor includes, removes them, and shows the normalized price of the same job from each.
Consistency
Chatbot
A different answer each time you ask.
QuoteSaver
The same quote gets the same range every time, and the report shows the assumptions and sources behind it.
Your data
Chatbot
Depends on the account and settings you use.
QuoteSaver
Stored in Canada. The model reads the quote once to extract the numbers and does not train on it. Nothing is shared unless you opt in to the anonymized index.

The long version, with what a chatbot does well: Can ChatGPT check my contractor quote?
