Most estimates spit out a number. Klorra gives you a budget format that survives the project — built on the discipline a working custom builder developed bidding real custom homes.
Every Klorra Scope of Work is organized the way the job gets built — trade by trade, from pre-construction and site work through finishes — and every scope line traces to a cost code in the estimate. Subs find their section and bid against it directly. No translation layer between the estimate and the SOW, no reorganizing for the contract package, no explaining why the two documents don't match.
Every line item references a specific sheet on the plan set. No phantom quantities. If a number can't be traced back to a sheet, it doesn't go in the bid. This is the discipline that stops the failure mode that punishes builders six months into a job — when an unanchored estimate runs into a real plan set on a real job site.
Takeoff and pricing are separate stages, on purpose. Phase 2 produces verified quantities anchored to plan sheets. Phase 4 prices them. The quantities are reusable across pricing scenarios — change a labor rate or material cost and the whole bid recalculates without re-running takeoff. Most software conflates the two; we keep them clean.
Every adjustment to a default unit price gets logged with a reason. Open a Klorra bid six months later (or hand it to a sub) and you can see WHY the number is what it is. Most estimators just type a number into a cell — we make the bid auditable.
Scope changes are first-class. Add a feature, watch the budget delta. Edit any unit price on the delivered bid and see the new total in seconds. Most estimating software treats every revision as a full rebuild — we treat it as the small adjustment it actually is.
Every bid carries its quality-control findings on the front of the document — within the regional dollar-per-SF band? Override audit results? Areas the AI flagged as low-confidence? You see all of it. Most providers hide their uncertainty. We surface it so you know exactly where to focus a senior-estimator review.
