Adam Oldham Kukun Estimating Software Accurate?
6 March 2023 | 4 replies
You should not be using someone else's prices (or Kukun's algorithm), you should be using your own prices from your local contractors and using the specific material selections you picked for your project.Here's an example of how bad some of the data is in Kukun and why it's not practical for investors that are wanting to create accurate estimates for their projects:I added "Exterior Doors" to my project, and I was told that 4 single doors and 1 double door is $59,352 in Kansas City, MO which is 20x what I would actually pay as an investor.I believe the above was a bug, but nonetheless there was no way for me to fix this issue or understand why or how it was calculating this value.In summary, you don't need a fancy algorithm to tell you what something costs, you just need to know basic math and have a general understanding of how much materials cost and what contractors charge for specific repairs.For example, if I have 5 exterior doors I need replaced (4 single entry doors, 1 french patio) this is how I would estimate the costs:- Single exterior door labor 4 x $250/each = $1,000- Single door material 4 x $300/each = $1,200- French patio door labor 1 x $400/each = $400- French patio door material 1 x $750/each = $750Total = $3,350Add 25% profit for your contractor and the quote should be around $5k for 5 doors.Finding material costs is as simple as exploring Home Depot's or Lowes' websites and researching material costs.

Once the booking is flagged the algorithm is king and humans get no say in it.I've heard people say you can change the bedroom count or even change your listing to a shared space (instead of whole home) temporarily which the algorithm is much looser on.
