LOCAL-ONLY
Keep work on your device.
Projects autosave locally. Portable backups let you keep a copy you control before replacing a device or deleting local data.
A practical path from plan to proposal.
Rivet Estimator brings drawings, takeoffs, costs, estimate review, and customer proposals into one construction estimating workflow. It is built for contractors, estimators, subcontractors, and small teams who need to check their work at every step.
THE WAY WE WORK
Practical tools, clear pricing, and helpful support.
Estimating software should help you complete a bid, understand how the price was built, and return to the work when plans change. That guides how we develop Rivet and respond to customer feedback.
- Tools for the whole estimate
- Keep drawings, quantities, costs, review, and proposals together.
- Clear plans and pricing
- See the price, included members, devices, and project limits before choosing a plan.
- Help when you need it
- Find instructions in the User Guide or contact support with a question or problem.
One connected estimating workflow.
Check the drawings, measure the scope, calculate costs, review the estimate, and prepare the customer proposal in one project.
- 01
Plan
Import the correct drawing set, confirm the sheet, and verify its scale.
- 02
Takeoff
Measure traceable lengths, areas, counts, rooms, walls, and volumes.
- 03
Estimate
Turn quantities into labour, material, equipment, and subcontract costs you can review.
- 04
Review
Check scope, revisions, assumptions, markups, and risks before sending the estimate.
- 05
Proposal
Send a clear customer proposal while keeping internal cost details private.
LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
Save locally. Connect Cloud when you need it.
Rivet can stay local-only. Cloud does not receive a project unless you deliberately connect a Cloud workspace and sync it.
Web, Windows, and Android.
Use Rivet across three platforms. Features, availability, and update steps can differ, so check the download pages and release notes for the latest details on each platform.
Web
Open your workspace in a supported modern browser.
Windows
Use the downloadable Windows x64 app and its local-first workspace.
Android
Use the Android app and get updates from the same source you installed it from.
BUILT FOR TRUSTWORTHY WORK
The estimator stays in control.
Keep assumptions visible, trace quantities to their source, and review the document before sending it. Rivet supports the work; the estimator makes the final decisions.
Accessibility
Product reviews cover keyboard and touch controls, visible focus indicators, zoom, reduced motion, and high-contrast display modes.
Security
Local-first storage, on-device encryption before Cloud upload, HTTPS in transit, encrypted storage, KMS-protected key custody, device authorization, revocation, backups, and deletion controls are part of the product model.
Customer control
Project work remains exportable, Cloud stays optional, and customer-facing documents are separated from internal costing detail.
