The construction estimating software linked to the take-off

Estimate the works from real data

Estimating a project in Excel means starting from a blank sheet on every job: you re-enter quantities, copy prices from an old file, and the estimate quickly drifts away from the take-off and the specification.

With BuildOS, construction estimating starts from the project's real data: the 3D model feeds the take-off, the take-off feeds the pricing breakdown, and the forecast budget is built on those same quantities — without starting from scratch.

From take-off to forecast budget

An envelope built on your figures, not on a hunch:

• Reuse the quantities from the take-off and the pricing breakdown, with no re-entry between modules.
• Build up your unit prices in the price book, project after project, to estimate faster.
• Set a forecast budget per lot: design budget, works budget and contract amount.
• Track the envelope with change orders and indexation, through to total cost of ownership (TCO).

Track the envelope through to the site

• A forecast budget lot by lot, linked to the take-off and the pricing breakdown.
• A comparison of received bids on scope, with the gap to budget.
• Change orders and indexation to keep the envelope up to date during the works.
• 100% online, no install: your budget available from the office as well as on site.

Estimate, take-off and pricing: one single dataset

In BuildOS, the estimate is not an isolated spreadsheet: the 3D model feeds the take-off, the take-off feeds the pricing breakdown, and the forecast budget reuses those quantities. Enter it once — the data flows through every module.

The result: an envelope consistent with the package, genuinely comparable bids at consultation time, and a budget that stays up to date from brief to site.
