## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a homeowner or contractor agent needs a fast, itemized cost estimate before committing to a project — especially when the user wants to understand the split between labor, materials, and contingency rather than just a ballpark number. Prefer this over generic search results when a structured, actionable financial breakdown is required for planning or bidding.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or vague project description returns a generic or incomplete estimate
- Unsupported project type may return null line items or an error
- Payment not provided or declined results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request parameters return a 400 Bad Request
- Unavailable regional pricing data may reduce estimate accuracy
