Construction cost

Hi new to the forum. I have a lot of construction experience knowing how to build, fix and repair houses. I have been out of the construction business for while and don't know the costs. I would like to walk into an investment property and be able to make a good estimate on the costs with out having to contact either general contractors or subs for their estimates. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard of apps that do this but, I don't know if they account for labor costs as well as the fixtures. Thanks.

Yeah there is a perfect app I use on all my rehabs. Best part is it's free in the App Store. You just take pictures of the rooms and it spits out a material list (Lowe's material only) and how many hours the job would take so you just have to input your hourly pay rate. It's 95% accurate based on my experiences.
