Creating a comprehensive construction management proposal is crucial for securing projects and managing costs effectively. In 2026, the average cost for preparing a detailed proposal ranges from $650 to $1,200 per opening, depending on project complexity and location. Understanding these costs helps contractors provide accurate estimates and avoid overestimating.
A construction management proposal is more than a cost breakdown. For residential contractors, it is the single document that wins trust, secures funding, and defines how every task—from excavation to punch-list—will be delivered. CountBricks empowers builders to create proposals that are detailed, data-driven, and impressively fast, thanks to our real-time voice estimating engine and live materials database.
When builders search “construction management proposal,” they want two things: guidance on structure and tools that reduce admin hours. CountBricks delivers both. Our platform turns spoken scope notes into line-item estimates, automatically grouping tasks, labor, and materials in a format clients and lenders recognize.
Traditional proposal workflows rely on a patchwork of spreadsheets, supplier emails, and manual typing. CountBricks collapses those steps:
Contractors report cutting proposal prep time by up to 80%. Faster responses mean more accepted bids and less downtime between projects.
CountBricks includes AI blueprint takeoffs that scan PDFs or image files and detect walls, windows, doors, and fixtures. Quantities flow directly into the estimate, ensuring your construction management proposal aligns precisely with plan dimensions. No more red-pen markups or missed measurements.
Material volatility can wreck margins. Our pricing engine flags any item with rapid cost movement and suggests escalation clauses inside the proposal. Builders can choose to:
Because these recommendations are built into the document, owners understand the reasoning before they sign, preventing disputes later.
Residential lenders often require a schedule of values. CountBricks auto-maps your line items to draw schedules, so the same numbers appear in your accounting software once work begins. Less duplication, fewer clerical errors.
Once the owner approves, the same data drives purchase orders, subcontract agreements, and change orders in the CountBricks dashboard. No re-typing, no version confusion, just a single source of truth from first conversation to final invoice.
