Decision tool
Compare concrete estimates
Three prices for the same job are rarely three prices for the same work. Put them side by side and see what actually differs.
The most common reason a concrete estimate is cheaper is that it includes less. Base preparation, disposal, slab thickness, reinforcement and permit responsibility all vary legitimately between contractors, and most of them are invisible once the work is finished.
This tool does not publish prices and does not tell you who to hire. It records what each estimate says about the same fifteen scope items, shows you where they disagree, and flags the items nobody addressed — which is usually where the surprises come from.
Worth reading alongside it: the Estimate Comparison Checklist and what actually drives concrete cost.

Nothing you type here leaves your browser. This tool does not send, save or store anything — not the contractor names, not the prices, not your notes. Close the page and it is gone. That also means it cannot remember your work, so print the summary if you want to keep it.
Common questions
Does this tool send my estimate details anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in the page. Nothing is posted to a server, nothing is saved to your browser's storage, and no contractor name, price, quantity or note is sent to analytics. Closing the page discards it, which is why printing is the way to keep a copy.
Will it tell me which contractor to choose?
No, and it deliberately will not. It reports which estimate states the most scope items as included, which is a fact about the paperwork. Whether a contractor does good work, turns up, or is insured is not in this data and cannot be inferred from it.
Why does it not compare prices?
Because prices are not comparable until the scopes are. Two estimates for apparently the same job routinely include different base preparation, different disposal arrangements and different thicknesses. The tool makes those differences visible so the prices start to mean something.
What if an estimate simply does not mention something?
That is the most useful thing this tool surfaces. An item nobody addressed is a cost you may pay later rather than a saving, and the tool flags the ones where silence carries the most risk — base preparation, disposal, permits, warranty terms.
