Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my own branding on proposals?
Are e-signatures legally binding?
Can clients make selections online?
Does the estimate carry over to budgeting?
Does Kaliun include a template library for proposals?
Yes. Start with professionally designed templates for common project types and customize them with your branding, line items, and terms. Save your own templates to reuse across future proposals.
Are there any AI features for generating proposals?
Kaliun is building AI-powered proposal generation that can draft scope descriptions and suggest line items based on project type and historical data, helping you create proposals faster than ever.
What is the most popular construction estimating software?
Popular options include Procore, Clear Estimates, STACK, and Buildxact, but the right choice depends on your size. For contractors doing $1M to $20M, Kaliun pairs estimating with job costing and project management at a flat $279 per month for unlimited users, instead of per-seat fees or a sales-quote process. Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Can ChatGPT do construction estimates?
Not reliably on its own. ChatGPT has no access to your cost catalog, local pricing, or target margins, so its numbers are generic guesses. Kaliun built-in AI drafts proposals and line items from your project description using your own catalog and markup rules, then you review and adjust. The AI speeds the first draft and you own the final numbers.
Is construction estimating software worth the cost?
Yes, when a single mispriced job can erase a project margin. Faster, more accurate estimates win more bids and protect profit, and Kaliun keeps the cost predictable at a flat $279 per month for unlimited users with a 14-day free trial. There is no per-seat math and no sales call, so you can test the value before paying anything.
