Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gutters & Downspouts estimating software?
It takes your gutters & downspouts quantities and builds a priced estimate — material, labor, equipment, overhead, and profit — line by line, with your local rates instead of generic national averages.
How does Gutters & Downspouts estimating work in CyanBuild?
Takeoff produces quantities, which flow directly into the estimate. You price each line with your $40-70/hr rate and material costs, add overhead and profit, and export a defensible bid.
Can I use my own Gutters & Downspouts cost data?
Yes. Use the built-in reference ranges as a starting point, then override with your vendor quotes and historical job costs — your own data is always more accurate than national averages.
What Gutters & Downspouts costs should I budget?
Typical ranges: $6-15/LF for aluminum gutter; $15-40/LF for downspout; $15-40/LF for copper gutter. Labor runs about $40-70/hr (crews).
Does the estimate flow into billing?
Yes — your CyanBuild estimate becomes your Schedule of Values, which feeds AIA G702/G703 pay applications, so your estimate and billing stay in sync.
