Build a detailed budget in minutes, not hours
Organize costs by section, set your margin per line item, and let the budget drive everything downstream — client proposals, invoices, and vendor bills all draw from it. No reformatting, no copy-paste.
Section-based cost breakdown
Organize your budget by trade or phase: framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes. Clients see clean line-by-line detail.
One source, every downstream record
Budget line items feed your client proposal and can be pulled directly into invoices and vendor bills — no re-entering numbers.
Margin control by line item
Set gross margin on materials, labor, and subs independently. Foreman calculates your unit price and profit automatically.
Build section by section, not line by line
Group your costs by trade or phase — Framing, Electrical, Tile — and add line items under each. Clients see a clean breakdown, you see your full cost picture.
Budget → proposal in one click
Foreman wraps your cost breakdown into a branded, client-ready proposal. Your logo, your scope, your terms — formatted and ready to send. The proposal is a snapshot: editing the budget later never touches the sent record.
Set margin independently on labor, materials, and subs
Different trades carry different risk and overhead. Set your gross margin by line item or by section — Foreman calculates unit price and shows your profit in real time.
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
Add your costs by section
Create sections for each trade or phase, then add line items with quantities and unit prices. Foreman does the math.
Set your margin
Apply gross margin per line item, section, or the whole budget. Unit price and profit are calculated automatically.
