KonstructIQ generates estimates from a description. Bolster does too — and grounds every line in AutoCost: 100M+ real, local material and labor costs that update automatically, so the AI's numbers reflect what the job actually costs today.
Both tools produce estimates. Only Bolster turns them into interactive proposals with optional items and good/better/best upgrades the client picks themselves — growing the average job without a sales pitch.
KonstructIQ's AI writes an estimate. Bolster's Construction Intelligence runs the whole flow — scoping, estimate, takeoff, and photoreal renderings like the one shown — so you go from a prompt to a client-ready, visual proposal in one sitting.
Both are modern, AI-era estimating platforms. Here's where Bolster goes further.
