Built for first-principles cost estimating

Familiar like Excel.
Structured like a system.

Builders

Structured estimates from scope and quantities through to submission.

Government

Defensible budgets, option comparisons and cost planning.

First-principles cost intelligence alongside design development.

Mining

Resource-based estimates for projects, works and operational scopes.

Subcontractors

Build clear rates and competitive tenders from the ground up.

Bill of Quantities

Bring tender items into one controlled workspace. Organise quantities, descriptions, units and rates without losing the flexibility of Excel.

BuildUps

Build transparent first-principles rates from labour, plant, materials, subcontractors and production assumptions.

Resources

Maintain reusable resource libraries, update rates once and understand the cost drivers across the whole estimate.

Indirects

Structure project overheads, preliminaries and time-related costs so the full tender position remains visible.

Reports

Generate consistent, read-only summaries for tender review, submission and commercial handover.

Project workflow

Move from project setup to BOQ, BuildUps, Resources, Indirects, review and reporting in one connected process.
