Handoff

AI estimating and back-office automation for residential remodelers

AI-native construction management platform for residential remodelers, home builders, and trade contractors. Generates line-item estimates from uploaded scopes of work, blueprints, or job photos using localized material and labor pricing, then carries the same project record through proposals, CRM, scheduling, AI-generated change orders, and QuickBooks-synced invoicing.

~$25.45M total raised (per Crunchbase/third-party aggregators, not a single official disclosure); includes a $5.8M strategic round announced June 2025 (Businesswire) raisedGrowth Stage
Founded 2019 · Vendor claims 40,000+ contractors have used Handoff to create estimates (paying-customer count not disclosed separately); rated 4.8/5 on G2 (100+ reviews), Capterra, and app stores; Y Combinator-backed. Parent company 1build was founded in 2019; the Handoff app itself launched March 2024.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Residential remodelers, home builders, and trade contractors typically spend hours to days building line-item estimates by hand in spreadsheets, sourcing local material and labor prices from memory, supplier calls, or outdated catalogs. Slow, inconsistent estimates delay client responses and lose bids to faster competitors, while the resulting estimate, proposal, scheduling, and invoicing data often live in disconnected tools.

The Solution

Handoff's AI reads an uploaded scope of work, blueprint, or job photos, extracts quantities and material lists (AI Takeoff), and prices them using localized material and labor costs — including live catalog data from suppliers like Home Depot and Lowe's — to produce a proposal-ready estimate in minutes to a few hours. The same project record then flows through an AI-assisted CRM, scheduling and daily logs, AI-generated change orders, a client portal for approvals, and QuickBooks Online-synced invoicing and payments.

Exactly what this tool uses and how

Input
What it needs
Required:Scope of work description or project details
Optional:Blueprints/drawings, Job site photos, Site-walkthrough or client-call audio for voice-to-estimate transcription, Project price location (city/county) for localized pricing
Formats:PDF/image upload (blueprints, photos), Audio recording (voice transcription), Web/mobile form entry
Output
What you get
Format:Line-item construction estimate and proposal, plus downstream CRM, scheduling, change order, and invoicing records
Fields:Material and labor line items with localized pricing, Client-facing proposal with digital signature, AI-generated change orders, Project schedule and daily logs, Invoices synced to QuickBooks Online
Algorithm
How it works
Model:Proprietary generative AI ("AI Teammate") trained on real residential construction projects and 10,000+ manually completed cost estimates from the vendor's early cost-estimating service; specific underlying model/architecture not publicly disclosed
Accuracy:Not independently audited; customer testimonials cite results such as an estimate landing "within $100" of a manually built bid on a $118K remodel and a 90% reduction in time spent estimating (vendor/G2 case studies, not third-party verified)
Privacy
How your data is protected
Retention:Personal/account data retained for the life of the account or as needed to provide the service; audio recordings retained 12 months from collection (longer if tied to active features); non-personal data may be retained indefinitely (per privacy policy)
Training:Yes — privacy policy states audio recordings and data generated from them are used to train AI models for estimating, call answering, client outreach, and document management
Compliance:CCPA compliance referenced in privacy policy, No SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR certification publicly disclosed as of research date
API
Integration
Endpoint:Not publicly documented; API access is listed only as an Enterprise-plan feature
Method:Not publicly specified
