Why we built this
Most construction estimating tools are either too simple to trust or too complicated to use on a job site. Contractors end up juggling spreadsheets, guessing at material quantities, or relying on outdated websites with broken math.
We built Pinnacle Contractor Calculator to fix that. Every calculator uses real trade formulas — stud counts, concrete yards, roofing squares, drywall sheets — with waste factor, labor, markup, and client-ready pricing built in. Enter your job-site ZIP and get regional defaults that make out-of-town bids easier.
Based in Southeast Iowa, United States, Pinnacle Designs is a small team that cares about getting the numbers right. We use these tools ourselves and keep improving them based on feedback from contractors in the field.
