Context

Project profitability in construction and contracting depends heavily on accurate estimation and cost control. Manual methods make it difficult to track costs, manage revisions, and maintain financial clarity throughout the project lifecycle.

Who this is for

We work best with teams who treat software as an operating system for the business, not a one-off project.

Good fit

  • Construction and contracting companies managing project budgets
  • Interior and fit-out firms preparing BOQs and estimates
  • Engineering firms handling material and labour costing
  • Teams needing vendor comparison and procurement integration
  • Businesses aiming to improve project profitability tracking

Not a fit

  • Businesses without project-based costing requirements
  • Companies using simple fixed pricing without estimation needs
  • Very small teams with minimal budgeting complexity
  • Organizations not managing procurement or vendor workflows

The operating reality

Why project costing goes wrong

Many firms rely on spreadsheets for BOQs and cost estimation, leading to errors and lack of version control. Estimates are often disconnected from procurement and execution, making it hard to track actual costs. Frequent revisions are not properly recorded, and there is limited visibility into budget vs actual performance. This results in cost overruns and reduced profitability.

How this is usually solved

Common approaches

  • Creating BOQs manually in spreadsheets
  • Estimating costs without linking to procurement
  • Tracking revisions informally without version history
  • Comparing vendor quotes manually
  • Monitoring costs only after project completion

Where it falls short

  • Inaccurate estimates leading to cost overruns
  • Lack of control over revisions and changes
  • Difficulty tracking actual vs estimated costs
  • Poor vendor decision-making due to limited comparison
  • Limited visibility into project profitability
