Specifically for construction designers, contractors and buildersI built a desktop app called&nbsp;Vestimate&nbsp;after watching estimators redo the same calculations project after project.The problem: rebar counts, CHB quantities, concrete volumes - done in Excel or by hand, one wrong formula and the whole BOM is off.Vestimate handles the math:<ul><li>PDF Plan Tracer&nbsp;- load your floor plan, trace areas and lengths directly on screen. Measurements go straight to the estimate. No redrawing, no transferring numbers manually.</li><li>DXF/CAD Import (Pro)&nbsp;- load your CAD file, assign layers to calculators, and batch-push everything to BOM in one click. Auto-scales from drawing units — no manual calibration needed.</li><li>20+ Trade Calculators&nbsp;- concrete slabs, CHB walls, roofing, rebar, plumbing, electrical, painting, waterproofing, septic tank, and more. Built to NSCP, PEC, and DPWH standards.</li><li>BOM &amp; BOQ Export&nbsp;- full Bill of Materials and DPWH-format Bill of Quantities. Export to PDF, XLSX, or CSV.</li><li>Scope Checker (Pro)&nbsp;- flags missing items in your estimate before you submit a bid. Catches what's easy to overlook.</li><li>Works offline&nbsp;- no subscription required. Your project data stays on your machine.</li></ul>Free tier includes unlimited projects and all calculators. Pro adds DXF/CAD import, unlimited branded PDF exports, DPWH BOQ export, and scope checking.Try it free:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://projectvestimate.netlify.app">https://projectvestimate.netlify.app</a>Happy to answer questions

Vekt is a desktop work management app built for freelancers and small service teams (1–5 people).Most project management tools are designed for large organizations — complex, expensive per seat, and completely cloud-dependent. Vekt takes a different approach: it runs locally on your machine, keeps your data under your control, and gives you just the tools you actually need without the bloat.What Vekt covers:• Task management with customizable pipelines• Project tracking and status workflows• Time tracking built in — no separate app needed• Team collaboration with role-based permissions• Optional cloud sync via Supabase when you need itWhy local-first?Your project data stays on your machine by default. No forced cloud subscriptions, no per-seat pricing that punishes you for growing your team. Cloud sync is available when you want to collaborate across devices, but it's your choice — not a requirement.Built with Electron and vanilla JavaScript. Designed with a clean, modern UI.Vekt is part of a two-app suite alongside Vestimate (a construction cost estimation tool), both targeting professionals in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.Currently in active development and shipping fast.
