Construction cost estimating software

Build estimates your whole teamcan understand and trust.

Buildiante turns quantities into a structured BOQ with consistent pricing, markups, approvals, and a clear path into scheduling and tendering.

Structured BOQs

Keep sections, items, quantities, units, and rates organized in one estimate.

Consistent calculations

Apply pricing and markups through a consistent estimating workflow.

Ready for the next step

Carry the estimate forward into scheduling and subcontractor tendering.

The estimating problem

When the estimate lives in a spreadsheet, the logic often lives in one person's head.

Complex formulas, copied cells, hidden assumptions and manual revisions make it difficult for everyone else to understand exactly how the final number was produced.

Pricing spread across multiple spreadsheets
Markup formulas that are difficult to audit
Repeated manual calculations during revisions
Different estimators using different approaches
Estimate data re-entered into downstream tools
With Buildiante

Make the estimate a shared, structured project record.

Buildiante gives your team a common structure for pricing the work, applying markups, reviewing revisions, and moving the estimate into the next stage of the project.

Organize estimates into sections and positions
Price quantities with unit rates
Apply overhead, profit, contingency, and tax
Keep revisions within the same structured estimate
Carry estimate information into downstream workflows
How it works

From quantity to approved project value.

Buildiante keeps the estimating process structured so the number your team produces can continue through the rest of the project workflow.

01

Structure the BOQ

Organize the estimate into sections, items, quantities, units, and rates that your team can work with consistently.

02

Price the work

Apply quantities and unit rates to build a complete project cost instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheet formulas.

03

Apply markups

Handle overhead, profit, contingency, and tax as part of the estimate rather than hidden spreadsheet calculations.

04

Review & approve

Keep the estimate structured and traceable as it moves through review and approval.

What's included

Everything you need to build the estimate.

Hierarchical sections and positions, nested as deep as your project needs.
Reusable assemblies roll labor, material, and equipment resources up to a rate.
Overhead, profit, contingency, and tax applied as a deterministic markup chain.
Draft → in review → approved → locked lifecycle, with every transition audited.
Export to PDF and Excel for anyone who still needs it on paper.
A priced BOQ is not the end of the workflow. Sections can carry into project scheduling, while positions can move into a subcontractor bid package.
Who it's for

Built for teams responsible for the number.

Estimators and quantity surveyors at small-to-mid contractors who currently build the Bill of Quantities in a spreadsheet — one tab per section, formulas linking rates to totals, and a markup calculation redone by hand on every revision.

Replaces

Move away from spreadsheet-driven estimating.

A BOQ spreadsheet with linked-formula rate calculations, a separate markup worksheet, and a manual re-typing step whenever the estimate needs to become a schedule or a tender package.

Estimate feeds directly into the next step of the loop:
