The Friction

The cost planning bottleneck

QS firms are still calculating Gross Floor Area by hand from PDF concept drawings and plugging numbers into Excel to produce a cost plan at the feasibility stage.

This is the moment when speed matters most — the client is waiting for budget validation before committing to design. But the process takes 1-2 days and relies on manual Excel formulas that differ from firm to firm.

Cost Plan Calculator automates this, turning the cost planning step from a bottleneck into a two-minute output that is ready to present.
