Why I built this

I built GC In My Pocket for my own remodel.

I'm not a developer or a salesman. I'm a homeowner who got tired of being surprised on my own remodel, and none of the software out there solved it — so I built my own.

Design your remodel for free, and see what it'll cost before you spend a dime.

Everything in one app

Run your remodel like a pro — even if it's your first one.

Start without a spreadsheet

Create your project and we help you set up rooms, finishes, and a budget one calm step at a time. You don't need any construction experience.

A helper that speaks plain English

The Guide answers everyday remodel questions in plain language and helps turn your decisions into a plan. It's general guidance to help you think — not professional advice.

Get a second opinion on a bid

Upload a contractor's bid — a PDF or a photo — and we read it back, show how the price compares to typical market rates, and point out things worth double-checking. You decide what's right.

See where your budget stands

Your budget shows what you planned next to what you've actually spent, with a clear over/under. The numbers are yours — we just keep them in one place.

A starting schedule, laid out for you

Enter a start date and we lay out a typical order of phases — demo, rough-in, drywall, cabinets, counters, paint — as a starting point you can adjust.

The job site in your pocket

Snap receipts and photos on site, take measurements as you walk the job, and build purchasing lists — up to three people can share the phone app, so your partner and your contractor stay in the loop.

The phone app

Bring your whole team — up to three phones

The app downloads onto up to three phones — you, your partner, and your contractor — so everyone stays informed on the same project. Take measurements right on the job site and turn them into purchasing lists, so you can go buy materials yourself without stopping to call the contractor and ask what he needs.

The phone app is part of a paid plan.

  • Up to 3 people
    You, your partner, and your contractor — all kept in sync.
  • Measure on site
    Capture room and cabinet measurements as you walk the job.
  • Purchasing lists
    Turn measurements into a buy-list so you can procure materials on your own.
