Oklahoma City, OK
NEW ADDITIONS ESTIMATING.

## Addition Estimating Built for Oklahoma City Contractors Oklahoma City's housing stock is a mixed bag — post-war bungalows in Crown Heights, ranch homes in Edmond, and newer builds out in Yukon and Moore. Every addition job carries a different set of challenges: slab-on-grade foundations that need extending, HVAC systems that weren't sized for added square footage, and load paths that don't always cooperate. Your bid has to account for all of it before you sign anything. Estimate.Pro is built for that reality. Walk the existing structure with your phone, capture measurements using AR on supported devices, and let the AI draft a scope-of-work that covers demo, framing, sheathing, insulation, windows, MEP rough-ins, and finish work. Median time from walkthrough to sendable bid: 8 minutes. ### What Makes OKC Addition Work Different **Wind and storm provisions.** Oklahoma sits in one of the most active severe-weather corridors in the country. Oklahoma City enforces the 2021 International Residential Code as locally amended, and inspectors look hard at anchor bolt spacing, hold-downs, and roof-to-wall connections on any new structural work. Your scope-of-work needs to call these out explicitly — vague line items get rejected at plan review. **Foundation transitions.** Additions in OKC typically land on post-tension slab or conventional slab-on-grade. Tying a new foundation into existing post-tension concrete requires a PT engineer's sign-off before the city issues a permit. That cost belongs in your estimate from line one, not as a change order later. **Mechanical sizing.** An addition that adds 400–600 sq ft to a home that was originally sized tight will almost always require HVAC modifications. Estimate.Pro includes Manual J load references so you can flag oversized or undersized systems in the scope notes before the HVAC sub finds it on demo day. **Permitting through OKC Development Services.** The City of Oklahoma City requires building permits for all additions regardless of size. Residential building permit fees are calculated on valuation — for a typical 400 sq ft addition valued at $60,000–$80,000, expect permit fees in the range of $500–$800 plus plan review. Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing are separate pulls. Budget line items for each sub's permit in your estimate so the client isn't surprised. ### How Estimate.Pro Works on an Addition Job 1. **Walkthrough capture.** Use AR measurement on a supported device to trace the addition footprint, ceiling heights, and existing openings. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates automatically — no false precision on your bid. 2. **AI scope draft.** The app reads your measurements and generates a full scope: site prep, foundation, framing, exterior envelope, roofing tie-in, MEP rough-ins, insulation, drywall, trim, and paint. Edit any line. 3. **Price it.** Pull from your saved material cost workspace — your lumber yard prices, not national averages. Labor rates reflect what you actually pay OKC framing crews and finish carpenters. 4. **Send it.** Client gets a clean, itemized proposal. You collect a deposit through Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee on Pro+ plans. ### Pricing That Fits a Small Shop Free forever tier requires no credit card. When your volume justifies it, Pro is $39 per seat per month. Elite at $79 per seat per month adds Stripe Connect, invoice exports, and advanced workflows. If you run a crew of four estimators, the flat $399 per month Crew plan covers everyone. ### The Bottom Line for OKC Addition Contractors You're competing against larger remodelers who have office staff running estimates in spreadsheets all day. Estimate.Pro puts the same scoping discipline on your phone. You can price a master bedroom addition with a bathroom on the way back to the truck. That's how you respond faster and win the jobs worth winning in this market.
