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 by CSI MasterFormat cost groups — the same framework architects use in their spec books and the same one subs expect. Section numbers match, so subs find their scope and bid against it directly. No translation layer between spec book and SOW, no reorganizing for permit submittal, no extra work explaining why your line items don't match the spec.
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.
Every Klorra bid is a Current Budget plus a Budget B alternate. Walk a client through "here's what you're getting at this number; here's what changes at plus or minus X percent." Most estimators give one number; we give two with a clear narrative for the spread.
Scope changes are first-class. Add a feature, watch the budget delta. Studio tier lets you tweak unit pricing live 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.
