How accurate are the cost estimates?

Estimates are calibrated to your location, labor rates, and material preferences — not national averages. You can adjust for crew size, material grade, and firm markup. Every line item is broken down by trade so you can defend each number.

Can my crew use InQI in the field?

Yes. The InQI mobile app gives your crew access to field photos, crew notes, project updates, and all your documents — on any device, any job site. Everything is tied to the project address and updated in real time.

What documents can I store in InQI?

Bid sets, permit sets, RFIs, submittals, change orders, drawings, specs — anything tied to the project address goes into your Project Binder. Your whole team accesses the latest version, not last week's email attachment.

Does InQI work for ADU projects?

Yes. InQI checks ADU eligibility, setbacks, owner-occupancy rules, and size limits for any US address instantly. Codes.IQ Agent pulls the specific rules for that parcel and jurisdiction — no planning department calls needed.

How much does InQI cost?

Plans start at $29/month. Sign up for free to explore the platform.
