Co-Founder / Chief Executive Officer
Crystal Blanchard
40 years ago, Crystal Blanchard encouraged her husband, Greg, to step out in faith and begin his own cost estimating business. From pen and paper to high-performing computers, from paper plans to digital blueprints on flat-screen monitors, from a corded phone and pagers to an iPhone with unimaginable processing power, the two built their business from the ground up—advancing with technology every step of the way. Their goal has always been, and continues to be, to help people budget the costs of their construction dreams. Crystal continues this mission to this day, even after Greg’s passing.
