Frequently asked questions

Answers to the 12 most common questions about estimating and quotes.

12 questions
01How does the AI generate my quotes?

The assistant analyzes your PDF/DWG plans, extracts quantities (m², m³, linear m, units) and cross-references them with our price database calibrated on the Quebec market (updated weekly).

In less than a minute you get a complete quote with detailed line items, applicable CCQ rates, and adjustable contingencies and margins.

  • 318 element types recognized (structure, MEP, finishes)
  • Manual line-by-line validation before sending
  • Continuous learning from your internal prices
02Are the prices realistic for the Quebec market?

Yes. Our rates are synced with CCQ (Commission de la construction du Québec) agreements by region and calibrated on more than 2,100 anonymized Quebec quotes. You can also import your own rate schedules so they take priority.

03Can I manually adjust the generated quotes?

Every line can be edited: quantity, unit price, hourly rate, margin, contingency. The AI keeps a history of your adjustments so it can improve.

04Can I create my own quote templates?

Yes. Reusable templates by trade (structural work, building envelope, electrical, etc.), with logos, headers, legal clauses and built-in electronic signature.

05Can SubmitX read my architectural plans?

Yes. PDF, DWG, DXF and IFC formats are supported. Automatic detection of floors, rooms, openings and mechanical systems.

06How many quotes can I send per month?

Quotes are unlimited on all paid plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise, Ultra). Each plan includes a monthly amount of AI credits ($10, $30 or $50 depending on the plan) for AI-assisted generation. Extra credits can be bought as needed.
