Know Your Margin before You Submit the Bid

Study the budget line by line, back every price with its cost breakdown and quantify the project's risks. Go into the tender with a figure you can defend, not an estimate.

PERT contingency
P80

Key Features

From the Drawing to the Selling Price

The whole pre-construction study in one place: what you measure, what it costs and what you risk, in the same project that is later built.

  • Takeoff on Drawings

    Measure lengths, areas, volumes and counts on drawings calibrated to scale.

  • Line-Item Budget

    Import the budget or measurements from PDF, Excel or BC3, with chapters and sub-chapters.

  • Price Databases

    Apply unit prices from your own cost databases and from ITeC BEDEC or ADIF.

  • Cost Breakdowns

    Back every price with its breakdown into labour, machinery and materials.

  • Indirect Costs and Margin

    Direct costs, indirect costs, overheads, profit and taxes in a clear waterfall.

  • Quote Comparison

    Level subcontractor and supplier quotes for every package.

  1. 01Risks and Opportunities

    A Calculated Contingency, Not an Assumed One

    Rate every risk on a 5x5 matrix of probability and impact and calculate the contingency with a probabilistic PERT analysis to reach a P80 confidence level. Simulate the margin if risks materialise or if you capture the opportunities.

    • 5x5 risk matrix with reserve allocation.
    • Probabilistic contingency at the P80 confidence level.
    • Margin scenarios: risks against opportunities.
  2. 02From Study to Site

    What You Studied, Compared with What You Certify

    The study doesn't stay in a file. The same line items move into execution, and the platform compares the studied cost with what is certified so you can see where you gain and where you lose margin.

    • Analysis of the resources required per unit of work.
    • Study versus certification comparison.
    • Gantt proposal generated from the budget.

Workflow

A Rigorous Bid Study, Step by Step

  1. 01

    Measure and Import

    Measure on the drawings or import the existing budget and measurements.

  2. 02

    Price

    Assign prices from your own or reference cost databases and back them with breakdowns.

  3. 03

    Adjust Costs

    Set indirect costs, overheads, health and safety, profit and taxes.

  4. 04

    Quantify Risks

    Complete the 5x5 matrix, calculate the P80 contingency and set the bid price.
