01 / BUILD
Manipulate the BOM without fighting it
Add, duplicate, regroup, and revise line items quickly. Quote laser parts, machined components, weldments, and assemblies in the same estimate.
Esticraft
Fabrication estimating software for job shops
Quote the work.
Not the spreadsheet.
Esticraft gives custom job shop estimators a fast, flexible way to build BOMs, route every operation, price material and labor, and turn complex work into a number they can trust.
Built in a fabrication shop. Used on real quotes.
Built for the estimator between the RFQ and the ERP.
BOM
Flexible line-item structure
ROUTE
Process-level labor costing
QUOTE
One trusted sell price
The core
A quoting engine built around the BOM.
Every fabrication estimate starts as elements, materials, quantities, and operations. Esticraft keeps that structure easy to change—so your manufacturing quote moves as fast as the RFQ does.
02 / ROUTE
Cost every operation
Assign work centers, setup time, run time, and quantities at the element level. Labor updates instantly as the route changes.
03 / MATERIAL
Price material your way
Track sizes, weights, quantities, scrap, and markup without burying the logic in a spreadsheet formula nobody wants to touch.
04 / REVIEW
See the whole estimate
Roll up material, labor, outside services, routing, and sell price in one summary before the number leaves your desk.
A cleaner path to a number
From drawing packet to reviewed estimate.
Start the estimate
Capture the customer, project, revision, assumptions, and due date.
Build the BOM
Break the work into elements with material, quantity, and purchased content.
Route the work
Add operations from cutting and machining through welding and finishing.
Review the sell
Check the rollup, adjust the quote, and export the result.
Replace the template
Keep your ERP. Lose the estimating spreadsheet.
Esticraft is not another ERP rollout. It focuses on the part of the workflow many shops still handle in Excel: building the estimate itself.
The spreadsheet way
- Formulas hidden across tabs
- Rates copied between versions
- Routing logic rebuilt by hand
- Changes ripple unpredictably
- One file becomes the process
The Esticraft way
- BOM structure stays visible
- Work-center rates stay consistent
- Routing is attached to each element
- Costs recalculate as the job changes
- The estimate is ready for review

What shops usually ask first.
Is Esticraft an ERP?
No. Esticraft is focused on the estimate: BOMs, routing, material, labor, and the final sell price. It is designed to fit before the ERP, not replace everything after the quote.
Is it only for fabrication?
No. The structure is process-agnostic: line-item elements with their own material, quantity, and routing. That works for fabricated assemblies, laser-cut parts, machining, weldments, and mixed-process jobs.
Can we use our own shop rates?
Yes. Work centers carry the rates and costing logic you use, so estimates reflect how your shop actually prices labor.
Can I export an estimate?
Esticraft supports PDF and spreadsheet exports so the estimate can move into the rest of your quoting workflow.
What does fabrication estimating software calculate?
Esticraft organizes the BOM, material, purchased items, outside services, work-center rates, setup time, run time, and markup that contribute to a reviewed sell price.
Can Esticraft replace an Excel quote template?
Yes. Esticraft is designed to replace the estimating spreadsheet while fitting before your existing ERP. It keeps BOM structure, routing, and cost rollups visible as the RFQ changes.
