Step 1

A structured cost plan — not a spreadsheet

Your estimate is organised into groups and line items. Quantities, units, and rates — all in one place. No hidden columns. No formula errors. No formatting chaos.

Step 2 — The Key Feature

This is where pricing mistakes get caught.

BuildCostIQ compares every line item against your own past jobs. You see which items are too high, too low, or out of line — before anything goes to the client.

BuildCostIQ validation — pricing check against past jobs

Your history — not industry averages

The benchmark is your own past work. What you actually charged. What you actually built.

Flags the outliers instantly

Too high. Too low. Missing rate. You see it in seconds, not after an hour of cross-checking.

You make the call

BuildCostIQ shows the variance. You decide if it's intentional or a mistake to fix.

Step 3

A proposal that's ready to send — not ready to format

The proposal pulls its data directly from your cost plan. The numbers are already there. The allowances are already there. You add your cover page, check the inclusions, and send.

Cost totals auto-populated from estimate
Allowances and exclusions included
Inclusions schedule with images
Secure share link for clients — no account needed
