Immediate benefits

Centralize, Improve and Optimize Your Cost Estimating Processes

Our solution brings together diverse elements, empowering users to refine their estimating methodologies, collaborate seamlessly, and achieve more precise estimatings, ensuring a more robust foundation for successful projects.

1/10

Parametric Assemblies/ Cost Models

The smart assembly functionality minimizes repetitive pricing on multiple projects. You can evaluate alternatives and quickly identify the most appropriate materials and methods.

The intelligence of the assemblies can be built and applied over BIM elements, thus allowing real value engineering opportunities and hence maintaining a competitive edge.

1/10

Seamless Data Exchange for Structured Estimating

Efficiently import prebuilt BOQ or price schedule spreadsheets and export them back in the required format.

Create Cost and Resource loaded schedules in Primavera P6 or MS Project through an easy workflow.

Build your estimates by collecting the necessary line items and resources from multiple data sources.

Auto price your estimate line items by auto matching them with your prebuilt database item codes and other fields.

1/10

Advanced Quantities Measurement Techniques (A)

Quantities can be imported from spreadsheets or measured electronically from PDF drawings, 2D CAD native files, GIS maps, and, most importantly, directly from BIM models through advanced querying of models’ metadata.

Parametric assemblies can be used in conjunction with BIM models to auto map model elements with the prebuilt database resources resulting in automatic generation of standardized estimates directly from the models.

1/10

Advanced Quantities Measurement Techniques (B)

Using IFC open standards and Native BIM file formats, BIM measure is fully embedded. Models can be loaded and measured from various engineering systems (Revit, Archicad, Bentley, DDS etc).

The capability of linking BIM model elements with construction activities and estimate line items enables users to apply 4D and 5D methodologies for better project evaluations.

1/10

Bidding and Quotation Management

Issue requests for quotes from supply chain and subcontractors. Segregate the estimate into standardized bid packages.

Compare received quotes and apply adjustments to the quoted items (discounts, price adjustments, and comparison normalization).

1/10

High-level Adjustments

Setting up variables that control cost data at the lowest level of detail

Global distribution of cost factors and amounts.

1/10

Seamless Integration with Project Controls, ERP and Design Tools

Publishing budgets and variation orders for cost management.

Importing & comparing estimate data with actual and historic cost records.

Creating resource loaded schedule activities.

Integrating with various design software for quantity measurements and estimating.

1/10

Handling Big Data

Flexibility in building the form of your estimate and level of detail (BOQ, MTO, BOM, price lists and price schedule forms).

Synchronizing your estimates to centralized databases which facilitates swift control of priced items and management of changes.

Creating mega project consolidated estimates having significant volume of works.

Consolidating the quantities measurements from numerous 3D-model elements meta data.

1/10

Reporting, Analytics & BI Dashboards

Building high-level reports by auto-querying cost data from your estimate such as price schedules and summary cost reports.

1/10

Experience Truly collaborative estimating

CostOS allows you to work on and between multiple projects simultaneously, streamlining efficiency and productivity. Set up teams, roles and unique permissions.

In addition, on larger projects, the whole estimating team can work on the same project, at the same time, sharing real live data, regardless of their location.
