How Do I Upload an Estimate PDF or CSV File in Albi?
Albi allows you to create an estimate by uploading an external PDF or CSV file. Uploaded estimates are attached to the project and, when supported, converted into structured estimate line items. This option is commonly used when estimates come from third-party systems, vendors, adjusters, or external partners.
Upload an Estimate PDF or CSV
This option allows you to upload an estimate that was created outside of Albi.

You can upload:
- An Estimate PDF

- An Estimate CSV file (Template available for download)


When uploaded:
- The estimate is attached to the project
- Albi will attempt to read the file and convert items into estimate line items (when supported)
- The estimate becomes part of the project’s Workbook and Financials
This method is commonly used when:
- Estimates are created in third-party systems
- You receive estimates from vendors, adjusters, or partners
- You need to store external estimate documentation inside Albi
