BUILD ON Early access

DEFENSIBLE CONCEPTUAL ESTIMATING · PRIVATE BETA

A defensible conceptual estimate—from your own projects, with the receipts.

For preconstruction teams who have to defend a number before design is done. Buildonto turns estimating history into an explainable forward estimate and a cost-loaded system forecast. Every assumption keeps its basis, source, and approval context.

THE COMPOUNDING LOOP

Stop starting every estimate from zero.

01

Inputs

Start from a job walk or bring your own — historical estimates and models, current plans and specs. The fleet organizes your inputs and prepares the estimate.

02

Approve

Approve, revise, or send back. Every decision is logged, and a truth meter tracks quality so every quantity is counted.

03

Present

Overlay the site plan and generate a conceptual model with quantities, cost, and assumptions.

START WITH YOUR QUESTION

Three ways into the system.

Durable field guides organized around real estimating decisions.

METHOD / GLOSSARY

What is conceptual estimating?

Methods, inputs, limitations, and a practical comparison of early estimating approaches.

Read the guide → HISTORICAL BID RATES

Reuse the intelligence in every bid.

A workflow for specialty contractors to normalize and defend historical labor, material, and production rates.

For specialty contractors → DATA-CENTER METHODOLOGY

Estimate systems before design is complete.

A transparent methodology organized around capacity, topology, redundancy, and uncertainty.

THE BASIS STAYS ATTACHED

Numbers your team can challenge.
