How ModuBlox
Estimates Work
No guesswork. No inflated quotes. Our 9-level pricing hierarchy decomposes every project into measurable components — then prices each one from real market data.
The Problem
Why traditional estimates fail
Square-Foot Guessing
Most estimates multiply area × a flat rate. This ignores material tiers, labor complexity, and regional differences entirely.
Price Inflation
Without transparency, contractors pad quotes by 20–40%. Homeowners have no way to verify what's reasonable.
Zero Accountability
Verbal estimates carry no detail. When costs balloon, there's no baseline to compare against.
Core Architecture
The 9-Level Pricing Hierarchy
Every estimate is decomposed through nine increasingly specific levels. Each level adds precision — from project type down to individual price sources.
Project Type
Kitchen Remodel
Area
L-Shaped Kitchen, 120 sq ft
Assembly
Cabinets, Countertops, Flooring
Component
Upper Cabinets, Base Cabinets
Operation
Install, Remove, Replace
Task
Demolition, Framing, Finishing
Resource
Oak Plywood, Soft-Close Hinges
Price Source
Regional database, Supplier API
Final Calculation
$12,400 – $18,600
Step by Step
From configuration to cost range
You configure your project
Select a project type, define your area dimensions, and choose quality tiers. The more you specify, the tighter your range.
The engine decomposes the scope
Your project is broken into assemblies (Cabinets, Countertops, Plumbing), each containing components, operations, and tasks derived from real construction workflows.
Resources are priced from market data
Each task maps to specific materials and labor hours. Prices are sourced from regional databases, supplier APIs, and verified contractor rates — not flat-rate guesses.
You receive a truthful range
The engine produces two scenarios — economy and premium — with a confidence score reflecting how much information you provided. More detail = tighter range.
Transparency
The Confidence Score
Every estimate includes a confidence score (0–100) that tells you exactly how reliable the range is. The more configuration you provide, the higher the confidence and the tighter the range.

What Drives Confidence
Room Dimensions
HighLength, width, and ceiling height directly size every material calculation.
Material Selection
HighThe difference between laminate and quartz countertops can shift costs 40%+.
Project Scope
MediumFull gut vs. cosmetic refresh changes labor hours and demolition needs.
Regional Location
MediumLabor rates vary up to 3× between markets. We index 380+ metros.
Timeline Preference
LowRush timelines incur premiums; flexible timelines unlock lower bids.
Key Differentiators
What makes this different
Assembly-Level Decomposition
We don't estimate "a kitchen." We estimate cabinets, countertops, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and lighting as separate assemblies — each with independent pricing.
Regional Price Intelligence
Labor rates and material costs are indexed to 380+ metropolitan areas. A kitchen in Manhattan prices differently than one in Houston.
Dual-Scenario Ranges
Every estimate produces two scenarios: economy (minimum viable quality) and premium (best-in-class materials). You always see the full spectrum.
Confidence Transparency
We never hide uncertainty. If we don't have enough information, we tell you — and show you exactly which inputs would improve accuracy.
