The contractor problem
A great recommendation can get buried in the assembly work.
Equipment expertise belongs in the conversation with the homeowner—not in another round of copying details between tabs and rebuilding proposal layouts.
Options feel disconnected
Customers work harder than they should to understand what changes from one system to the next.
Presentation varies
Hand-built documents can make the same contractor look different from one proposal to another.
Details compete for attention
Scope, equipment facts, images, notes, and pricing have to become one coherent customer story.
The complete workflow
From job details to a customer-ready decision.
One focused workspace keeps the estimate moving while leaving the important judgments with the contractor.

Product research, with guardrails
Start with a product page. Finish with your own review.
Paste an approved product URL and Hawkeye Estimates can gather available product information, specifications, warranty language, and a catalog image. Missing facts remain missing, conflicting warranty language stays visible, and imported content is never a substitute for contractor review.
- ✓Imported facts stay editable
- ✓Warnings and sources remain visible to the contractor
- ✓Existing manual details are protected unless replacement is confirmed
- ✓Customer pricing is entered and approved by the contractor
Accuracy boundary
The released importer does not place retail pricing into the proposal. Product facts must be checked before finalization.

Professional proposal output
A polished handoff in the room or after the visit.
Prepare the proposal once, then use the customer-facing format that fits the conversation.
Live customer preview
Watch the presentation take shape while empty fields and unchecked scope items stay out of sight.
Print-friendly layout
Print the proposal or use the browser’s save-to-PDF option from the reviewed customer view.
Secure public sharing
Create an immutable customer link that expires after 30 days, then regenerate or revoke it when needed.
Controlled delivery
Send by text only after consent is recorded. Email delivery is available when the installation’s sender is configured.
Supplier and distributor opportunity
Help contractors turn catalog knowledge into a better sales conversation.
A well-structured supplier catalog can make it easier for contractors to research the right equipment facts, present product differences, and keep the manufacturer story intact in a customer-ready proposal.
01
Make product specifications and images easier to carry into the field.
02
Give contractor customers a repeatable way to present multiple equipment tiers.
03
Keep every imported fact subject to contractor review and pricing control.
Presented as a potential sales-enablement use case, not an existing supplier partnership.
Trust and control
Automation assists. The contractor decides.
Human-reviewed facts
Imported research and warranty language can require explicit review before finalization.
Contractor-set pricing
The proposal’s customer price and optional discount stay in the contractor’s hands.
Explicit finalization
Incomplete drafts can be saved, but a customer-ready proposal must clear required checks.
Controlled customer access
Shared copies are immutable, expire automatically, omit internal research data, and can be revoked.
Consent-gated texting
The text action requires a valid saved mobile number and recorded consent for that recipient.
