Built for disciplined cost management

For teams that take cost control seriously.

COSTiMO is designed for contractors, developers, project owners, and consultants who need better control over project estimates, budgets, commitments, actual costs, and commercial risk.

Resource-based estimation

Create estimates from assemblies, activities, cost elements, units, and required quantities.

Organisation rate library

Maintain your own approved labour, material, equipment, and subcontract rates.

Budget & cost control

Convert awarded estimates into budgets and monitor project costs against approved baselines.

Project consultancy

Strengthen contractor evaluation, contract governance, cost control processes, and digital workflows.

Platform

Construction cost platform.

Structured estimation, budgeting, and cost monitoring for construction projects.

COSTiMO gives project teams a practical system to build estimates from resource break-ups, apply organisation-approved rates, review cost composition, approve budgets, and monitor execution costs. Designed to support disciplined project cost governance — not to replace professional commercial judgement.

Activity resource break-up

Access structured resource requirements for construction activities — including cost elements, units, and quantities per unit of work. The starting point for every reliable estimate.

Your own rate library

Maintain resource rates within your organisation library. COSTiMO pulls these rates into estimates to calculate project cost — commercial rate ownership stays with your organisation.

Assemblies & cost elements

Standardise estimation logic across repeated activities. Break items into labour, materials, equipment, consumables, subcontract, and other elements.

Estimate dashboard

Review estimate values from multiple angles — cost element, work package, BOQ item, activity, resource category, and project summary.

Estimate to budget

Convert the estimate of an awarded project into a controlled project budget — with approved baselines and revision discipline.

Budget to cost monitoring

Use the approved budget to monitor commitments, actual costs, forecast costs, and variances as the project progresses.

Real-time cost visibility

Track how project costs are moving against budget, and identify areas requiring management attention.

AI-assisted structure

AI assists search, resource structuring, assembly matching, and cost analysis presentation — final rates and approvals stay under user control.

Inside the platform

Hierarchical precision, down to the last resource.

Structure scope as a full WBS tree. Estimate at the lowest level — resources, quantities, units, durations — and let every parent row roll up automatically. Apply your own approved rates to compute project cost.

Full WBS hierarchy

Work Packages → Activities → BOQ Items → Resources. No flat lists, no orphan items.

Reusable assemblies

Build organisation-wide resource assemblies once; pull them into every project that needs them.

Revision discipline

Draft → Rev0 → Rev1 with locked history. Compare any two revisions side-by-side.

Multi-currency

INR, SAR, AED — correct ₹ / ﷼ / د.إ symbol rendering per region, always tabular-aligned.

Assembly intelligence

Resource break-up for every construction activity.

Each assembly carries the full resource structure — cost elements, numbers, durations, quantities per unit of work. Scale to project quantities and the cost computes automatically.

Cost elements by category

Labour, material, equipment, consumables, subcontract — each tracked separately with their own quantity and unit.

Quantity per unit logic

Assemblies define resource quantities per output unit. Scale to 352 m³ or 9,915 CUM — the breakdown scales precisely.

Shared costs distribution

Distribute project-wide overhead costs (management, site facilities) pro-rata across all WBS assemblies.

Analytics & composition

Review cost by element type, activity, work package, and project total — before submitting your estimate.

Consultancy

Construction project consultancy.

Advisory support for better contractor decisions, contract discipline, and cost governance.

COSTiMO provides specialist consultancy services for construction organisations that require practical, contractually sound, and execution-oriented support. The consultancy offering complements the platform by helping companies establish the right processes — before digitising them.

Contractor vetting & pre-qualification

Evaluate contractors on financial capacity, technical capability, execution history, safety systems, manpower, equipment, litigation profile, and project suitability — before award.

Contract governance

Develop and review contract conditions, SOPs, approval workflows, variation procedures, payment controls, and dispute prevention mechanisms.

Cost control frameworks

Implement project cost codes, budget structures, commitment tracking, cost reporting formats, variance review procedures, and management dashboards.

Custom construction web apps

Design and develop practical web-based tools for vendor management, project estimation, cost tracking, approvals, document workflows, and reporting.

One brand, two halves

Cost platform and project governance.

Construction cost control does not start after expenses are incurred. It begins with a structured estimate, continues through an approved budget, and succeeds only when actual project costs are measured against a clear baseline.

COSTiMO brings these stages together through a combination of software and consultancy. The platform provides the structure, dashboards, and workflow. The consultancy provides the professional judgement, governance framework, and implementation support.

The platform

Structure, dashboards, and workflow — for estimation, budgeting, and cost monitoring.

The consultancy

Professional judgement, governance framework, and implementation support.

Your data

Approved rates, assemblies, vendor library — all stay within your organisation.

Your approvals

Final rates, variations, and budget approvals always remain under user control.

How it works

A practical cost flow for construction projects.

Six stages from first BOQ line to in-flight cost control — built around the way construction projects are actually estimated, awarded, budgeted, executed, and commercially controlled.

Resource-based structure

Build the estimate

Create a structured estimate using WBS, work packages, BOQ items, activities, assemblies, cost elements, units, and resource quantities.

Your approved library

Apply org rates

Use your own approved rate library for labour, material, equipment, subcontract, and other resources. No external rate suggestion.

Cost from every angle

Review composition

Analyse project cost by activity, cost element, resource type, work package, and summary dashboard — before submission.

Award, then baseline

Convert to budget

Once the project is awarded, convert the final estimate into an approved project budget with controlled revisions.

Commitments & actuals

Monitor execution

Track commitments, actual costs, forecast cost at completion, and variances against the approved budget — live.

Management response

Take action

Use variance visibility to control procurement, productivity, subcontracting, claims, and project profitability.

Why COSTiMO

Designed around execution realities.

COSTiMO is not a generic accounting package or a simple rate calculator. It is designed around the way construction projects are estimated, awarded, budgeted, executed, and commercially controlled.

No uncontrolled rate suggestion

COSTiMO does not impose market rates. Users maintain their own organisation-approved rates and commercial assumptions.

Resource quantity intelligence

The platform focuses on activity-wise resource requirements, assembly logic, and cost element structure.

Estimate-to-budget discipline

Approved estimates can become controlled project budgets — reducing disconnect between tendering and execution.

Execution cost monitoring

Budgets can be used for monitoring commitments, actuals, forecasts, and variance through execution.

Consultancy-led implementation

Processes, controls, and dashboards aligned with each organisation's operating model — not the other way around.

Use cases

Where COSTiMO can be used.

From bid preparation to in-flight cost control, and from contractor evaluation to governance setup.

Prepare structured resource-based estimates for construction bids and internal reviews.

Project budgeting

Convert awarded estimates into execution budgets with clear cost baselines.

Cost control

Monitor commitments, actual costs, and forecast variances during project execution.
