Ian McCarthy built Blue Claw Associates from $0 to $12M using a pricing methodology called Know Your Numbers. These two software tools make that same methodology available to any contractor, in minutes.
AI-powered estimating
Proposal generation
Win the job
Jamie is an AI estimating agent trained specifically for landscaping and contractor workflows. Instead of staring at a blank spreadsheet, you have a conversation. Jamie asks the right questions about the job — materials, labor, square footage, equipment — and builds a structured estimate you can trust. No more guessing. No more underbidding.
Once BidClaw (or your own numbers) gives you the costs, BlueQuickCalc turns them into a branded, professional PDF proposal you can send directly to your client. Built on Ian’s Know Your Numbers methodology, it applies the right markup, structures the scope, and formats everything so it looks like it came from a $10M company — because it did.
Know your real costs before you quote. BidClaw + KYN math = confident pricing.
A professional proposal beats a handwritten quote every time. QuickCalc makes you look established.
What used to take an evening now takes 15 minutes. AI does the lifting.
Ian McCarthy developed the Know Your Numbers methodology after growing Blue Claw Associates to $12M. KYN teaches contractors to calculate true labor costs, overhead, efficiency ratings, and retail pricing rates — so every job is priced to make money, not just to win it. Both tools are built around this framework.
