About TradeCalcs

TradeCalcs is a construction cost calculator platform built by working contractors for working contractors. We saw a gap in the market: generic online calculators that used national averages and ignored the real costs contractors face in California — permits, coastal premiums, labor shortages, and material price volatility.

Our Story

TradeCalcs was born from a licensed San Diego general contractor (CSLB #1054602) who needed accurate, local cost estimation tools for client proposals. After years of using spreadsheets and generic online calculators that consistently underpriced projects, we built our own calculators using real project data from completed jobs across San Diego County.

What We Do

We provide construction cost calculators, embeddable website widgets, and contractor tools that help you price projects accurately, win more bids, and convert more website visitors into clients. Our calculators use current San Diego material costs, local labor rates, and real permit fee data.

Who We Serve

Our Data

Our calculator pricing is sourced from actual completed projects, current supplier quotes, and licensed contractor labor rates in San Diego County. We update our pricing data quarterly to reflect material cost changes and labor market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the calculators accurate for my area?

Our calculators are calibrated using San Diego County material costs, labor rates, and permit fees. If you are outside San Diego County, the calculators still provide a useful baseline — just adjust material and labor costs for your local market.

How often is pricing updated?

We update our material and labor pricing quarterly. Material costs can fluctuate significantly due to supply chain issues, tariffs, and seasonal demand. Our quarterly updates keep estimates current.

Can I customize the calculators?

Yes, the Pro and Business plans allow custom pricing inputs. You can enter your own material costs, labor rates, and overhead multipliers to match your specific business model.

Do you offer custom calculator development?

Yes, we build custom calculators for contractors with specific needs. Contact us with your requirements and we will provide a quote.
