Coastal foundation estimating, automated
Address, footprint, soil. PileQuote returns pile count, embedment, stock lengths and a real price range — then routes the lead to the crew that can drive it.
The product
Fill in what a homeowner or builder actually knows. The engine handles spacing, embedment, stock lengths, drive difficulty and regional pricing.
Your pile count, lengths and price range will appear here.
How it works
01
Homeowner or builder enters address, size, soil and elevation height. The estimator returns a defensible range in under a minute — the same math an estimator does by hand.
02
Job value, ZIP and project type set the lead tier automatically. In-radius work goes to Kirk Con. Everything else is a saleable asset.
03
Out-of-radius leads go to vetted piling contractors in LA, MS, AL, FL and the Carolinas at $75–200 each. Contractors who want their own estimator subscribe instead.
Why this is defensible
Anyone can build a form. Almost nobody can price piling algorithmically, because pricing it requires knowing what actually happened on hundreds of coastal lots: refusal depths, drive times, broken piles, barge days, what the supplier really charged that month.
Kirk Con self-performs piling on the Texas Gulf Coast. Every job is a calibration data point. Each one narrows the estimate range, and a narrower range converts better than a competitor's guess.
Calibration inputs
| Field input | Tunes | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Refusal / embedment depth | Pile length | Drive logs |
| Piles driven per day | Labor & schedule | Daily reports |
| Delivered $/LF by size | Material cost | Supplier invoices |
| Job cost vs. contract | Overhead & profit | QuickBooks |
| Access & barge days | Access factor | Field notes |
| Quote-to-close rate | Lead pricing | CRM |
Every assumption in the engine lives in one config file, tagged for calibration.
For piling contractors
Load your own material costs, spacing rules and margin. Your logo, your domain, your numbers. Quotes go out while your competitor is still driving to the site.
Plan pricing shown is the launch structure and is configurable in the pricing file. Lead prices vary by territory and job size.
The business
Line 1
$75–200
per qualified lead
Out-of-radius piling leads sold to vetted contractors across the Gulf and Southeast coast.
Line 2
$199–499
per month, per contractor
White-label estimator subscription. Recurring, high margin, and it makes the network stickier.
Line 3
Faster closes
on Kirk Con's own work
Instant quotes beat the three-day callback. The same tool that earns fees also wins in-house jobs.
Path to $1M ARR — model, not a promise
| Stage | Subscribers | Leads / mo | Annualized |
|---|
Lead revenue assumes an average of $125 per lead; subscriber revenue assumes the $299 Crew plan. The honest version of the math: $1M/year needs roughly 90 paying contractors plus 450 sold leads a month — far fewer subscribers than a software-only path would require, because the lead line carries most of the weight early. Change either figure in the pricing file and this table follows.
PHASE 1 · WEEKS 1–6
Run this estimator on Kirk Con traffic. Measure quote-to-call rate and how far the estimate lands from the real bid. Tighten the config every job.
PHASE 2 · MONTHS 2–6
Expand ZIP coverage past the service radius, sign 3–5 partner contractors per state, and charge per lead with a simple accept/decline flow.
PHASE 3 · MONTHS 6–18
Turn the calibrated engine into a white-label subscription with accounts, saved quotes and proposal PDFs. Recurring revenue compounds.
