Protects the Project

Before You Overpay,
Ask Rosie.

Upload your renovation estimate and Project Guardian helps you understand the cost, compare it locally, and find smarter ways to complete the work.

How It Works

Four Steps to Smarter Spending

Step 1

Upload Your Estimate

Snap a photo or upload a PDF of any contractor estimate, invoice, or scope of work.

Step 2

Rosie Compares Locally

See what that work typically costs in your area. Know if you're in range or overpaying.

Step 3

Ask Rosie

"Is this estimate high?" "Should I get another bid?" "Can your team help me reduce this?"

Step 4

Save Smart

Get recommendations for vendor alternatives, supplier-direct options, and smarter scope decisions.
