Tenera Quick Estimate: Faster, Smarter Repair Pricing

Why Do Repair Quotes Vary So Much?


If you manage properties, you’ve likely seen repair quotes swing wildly for the same job—like a simple concrete repair coming in at $6,000 from one contractor and $12,000 from another, even with the same square footage. This happens because most estimates are built on unclear scoping, labor assumptions, and material markups. It’s especially problematic for smaller projects under $20,000, where hiring an engineer to define an exact scope isn’t economical. Instead, property managers often rely on contractors to determine what’s needed—leading to inflated costs and unnecessary work. 


The Solution: Tenera Quick Estimate 

Tenera Quick Estimate is a service that provides fast, accurate repair specifications and pricing estimates—often within 24 hours. No more chasing contractors, waiting on bids, or second-guessing costs. Each request generates a structured specification that details the exact work to be done, material quantities, and labor requirements. On top of this, we apply an estimate based on real-world pricing, providing a clear cost baseline for tendering, material ordering, and project coordination. While the estimate isn’t a binding quote, if you work with us, our final pricing will almost always align with it. 




Eliminating Guesswork: The System Behind Tenera’s Accurate Estimates

 The accuracy of Tenera Quick Estimate comes from our proprietary work specification library, developed based on thousands of real-world projects and extensive in-house lab testing. Each work type in our library defines exactly how repairs should be performed, specifying the correct methods, precise material quantities, and realistic labor requirements. 

Take a common repair like fixing a concrete crack. Traditional vendor estimates often lack detail, making cost and quality unpredictable. In contrast, Tenera’s unit-based approach ensures full transparency: 


With this level of detail, vendors can’t cut corners, and property managers know exactly what they’re paying for. 


While vendors are not required to follow Tenera’s specifications, property managers can use them to ask better questions, compare estimates more effectively, and reduce both cost variability and quality risk. Or, for full confidence, they can choose to work with Tenera or our trusted partners, who follow these specifications exactly. 


Submitting a Quick Estimate Request is Easy 

Tenera Quick Estimate is a service, and you can submit requests however you prefer. To generate an accurate estimate, we need several images of the problem, a brief description, and the affected area’s dimensions (linear or square, depending on the issue). You can send this information via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. If you already use Tenera Track, the process is even simpler—just click a button to request an estimate for one or more logged issues. 

Tenera Track is a lightweight system for organizing maintenance work, helping property managers keep track of reported issues, progress images, and QC documentation in one place. It also supports scheduled assessments and issue tracking, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and scattered emails.
