Reviewed and issued
A contractor-grade estimate, without chasing contractors.
An Expert Review puts a real construction professional over your scope. They correct the assumptions and reprice it against what the project would cost to deliver through our own trade network, which turns a planning range into a near-exact estimate.
What a professional actually changes.
A review is not a rubber stamp on a generated document. Four things happen to your scope, and the pricing usually moves.
Reads the scope against the project
A construction professional goes through the generated scope line by line and checks it against what you described, what your photos show, and what the job realistically involves.

Corrects the assumptions
Anything the intake could not know gets resolved: access, existing conditions, sequencing, and the details that quietly change the labor count. Wrong assumptions are where estimates go wrong, not arithmetic.

Reprices it against real delivery
The pricing is corrected against what the work would actually cost to carry out through our own trade network. This is the step that separates a projection from a number someone would stand behind.

Flags what to negotiate
You get told which lines have room in them, which are firm, and where a bid that arrives higher is being unreasonable. That is the part a quote from a stranger never includes.

Backed by the people who would build it.
Only a contractor can give a real number.
That is true, and it is exactly what an Expert Review is. The difference is that you already arrive with a complete, itemized scope, so the professional is correcting a document rather than guessing at a description. You get the contractor-grade number without spending three weeks collecting site visits to reach it.
A reviewer with nothing at stake is just an opinion.
Which is why the review is done by the operation that would deliver the project. The number is what we would stand behind to actually carry out the work, not a detached second opinion on someone else’s estimate. That is what makes it near exact rather than merely more considered.
An estimate you cannot act on is half a service.
So the scope does not stop at the page. We connect you with vetted tradespeople and materials from our own network and coordinate the project through to completion. The estimate and the execution come from the same place, which is the only reason the estimate can be that firm.
The loop has been run end to end.
One project has already gone the whole distance: scoped in AXTruo, approved by the client, and built through us. The loop from description to finished work is proven rather than planned.
The marketplace is coordinated by hand today rather than run as a self-serve platform. We connect you with the trades and the materials and stay with the job through to completion. That is a deliberate choice at this stage: someone should be watching the work, not a dashboard.
Scope it free. Verify it when it counts.
Generate the three scopes first. The Expert Review is there when the decision is big enough to want a number someone will stand behind.
