← Crawl Space Encapsulation Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. QuoteIQ
Two different shapes: QuoteIQ is a subscription CRM for running a waterproofing company's leads, estimates, and job costing. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this one crawl space cost, given its floor area, liner type, and access, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
QuoteIQ is CRM and estimating software marketed specifically to crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing businesses, alongside basement waterproofing and related trades. Its own marketing describes tiered pricing presets — basic vapor barrier, full encapsulation, and premium conditioned crawl space — satellite-based measurement of a home's footprint and perimeter, job costing, and lead and follow-up tracking. It is sold as an ongoing subscription. QuoteIQ's own current pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — waterproofing-industry CRM and estimating software, sold as a subscription — are stated, and no dollar amount for QuoteIQ appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what QuoteIQ does. It does not track leads, manage a sales pipeline, or measure a home from satellite imagery, and it stores no customer or job record on a server. It takes one crawl space's floor area, a choice between liner-only and sealed encapsulation, hatch versus belly-crawl versus wet access, dehumidifier and sump-pump extras, loaded wage, payroll burden, materials, overhead, target margin, and travel, and turns that into the per-job price, the extra-work share, and the walk-away price below which the job loses money — plus, if you already have a price on the table, a check of whether it clears that walk-away floor, and a single printable customer proposal for that one job. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a waterproofing company and need lead tracking, tiered estimate presets, and job costing across a sales team and installation crews. | QuoteIQ, or a comparable waterproofing-industry platform — running a whole company is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this one crawl space, given its floor area, liner type, and access, before I quote it? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| How much does belly-crawl or wet access actually add next to an easy hatch job? | This calculator's access-type line item, not a flat surcharge. |
| Is the price I'm about to quote still above my walk-away cost for this job? | This calculator's compare-to-proposed-price check. |
| I need one shared account so my whole team is tracking leads and presenting tiered estimates the same way. | QuoteIQ, or a comparable waterproofing-industry platform. |
| How does the math behind an encapsulation bid actually work? | This calculator's own pricing walkthrough. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. QuoteIQ is used through a subscription account. |
Most encapsulation and waterproofing contractors get different value from each: QuoteIQ (or a comparable waterproofing-industry platform) for running lead tracking, tiered estimate presets, and job costing across a whole company as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login gut-check on what one crawl space should cost from its floor area and access before a business system is involved. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a scheduled job, an invoice, or a signed proposal.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or QuoteIQ?
They do different jobs, and a crawl space encapsulation business of any size may end up using both. QuoteIQ is CRM and estimating software marketed specifically to crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing businesses, alongside basement waterproofing and related trades. Its own marketing describes tiered pricing presets — basic vapor barrier, full encapsulation, and premium conditioned crawl space — satellite-based measurement of a home's footprint and perimeter, job costing, and lead and follow-up tracking, and it is sold as an ongoing subscription. QuoteIQ's own current pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — waterproofing-industry CRM and estimating software, sold as a subscription — are stated, and no dollar amount for QuoteIQ appears on this page. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from floor area, liner-only versus sealed encapsulation, hatch versus belly-crawl versus wet access, dehumidifier and sump extras, loaded wage, materials, overhead, and travel, it turns that into the per-job price, the extra-work share, and the walk-away price below which the job loses money, before any of it touches a business-management system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A waterproofing company already running lead tracking, tiered estimates, and job costing across a sales team and installation crews is better served by QuoteIQ or a comparable waterproofing-industry platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private gut-check on what one crawl space should cost from its floor area and access before opening a business system is in the right place here.
