Why Costimate
Features that speed up estimating
Everything you need to produce accurate, defensible construction cost estimates — from AI plan reading to professional PDF exports.
Core features
AI plan reading
Upload drawings and let AI extract quantities, dimensions and scope items automatically — reducing manual takeoff time by hours.
Regional pricing data
Price estimates against region-specific cost databases for North America, Europe and West Africa — with configurable adjustment factors.
Professional PDF exports
Generate branded, client-ready estimate PDFs with line items, summaries and notes — ready to share or submit with proposals.
Editable bill of quantities
Adjust quantities and unit prices inline, add custom line items, exclude optional work, and apply overhead, profit and tax — the AI takeoff is your starting point, not the final word.
Price history & supplier overrides
Business plans get 12-month price trends per material and your own supplier rates, which take priority over market data in every estimate.
Schedule & cash-flow forecast
A Gantt programme seeded straight from the bill of quantities, plus an S-curve cash-flow forecast that shows your peak funding requirement.
Change orders, revisions & RFIs
Keep original, approved and revised contract totals straight with a change-order register, plan revision history and an issues log that flags stale estimates.
Client quote share links
Send a branded, read-only quote link with the level of detail you choose — full breakdown, by phase, or total only — and track accept or decline.
Cost analytics & version compare
Track estimate confidence, compare versions and see cost breakdowns by category, trade or region in visual dashboards.
Team collaboration
Invite teammates as admin, estimator or viewer. Roles control who can edit a bill of quantities, approve change orders or send a quote — up to 5 seats on Business.
Multi-project portfolio
Organise estimates into projects, track statuses across your portfolio and keep every bid version in one searchable place.
Data isolation & security
Every organisation gets its own isolated data. Role-based access and audit-ready logs keep your estimates and client data secure.
3D plan visualizer
Every project renders an interactive 3D model — building massing, room layout and multi-storey stacking — so you can sanity-check scope before pricing it.
Price provenance you can defend
Each material price carries its source, URL, observation date, method and confidence level — so a client or lender can see exactly where a number came from.
Bilingual & multi-currency
Work in English or French and price in your market's own currency — CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, XOF, XAF, AED, NGN, ZAR, INR, BRL and more.
Fast re-estimation
Duplicate, version and re-price estimates in seconds when scope changes — so you can respond to RFQs and change orders faster.
Flexible subscription plans
Choose a plan that fits your team size and billing preferences. Upgrade, downgrade or manage billing from your account settings.
