Six capabilities that replace spreadsheets, desktop programs and manual templates. All integrated and in the cloud.
AI-generated cost breakdowns
Describe the activity and AI builds the complete unit price analysis: materials, labor, equipment and yields. What used to take hours now takes seconds.
💡 No more building each cost breakdown from scratch. AI gives you a professional baseline you only fine-tune.
Real country-specific prices
Up-to-date material and labor price database for Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Spain and more. Budget with values from your market.
💡 Realistic budgets from day one, without searching for prices manually online.
Takeoff & project budgeting
Organize the budget by chapters, sections and items. Each item has its calculation sheet, quantities and unit price. A clear, professional hierarchy.
💡 An organized, detailed budget that conveys seriousness and professionalism to your client.
Cost & margin control
Define your direct costs, overhead, contingencies and profit. Analyze cost distribution by activity and input with real-time charts.
💡 You know exactly how much you make on each project and protect your profitability before quoting.
Built-in blueprint measurement
Upload the plan PDF, calibrate the scale and measure areas, lengths and counts directly on the drawing. Each measurement feeds the budget automatically.
💡 You quantify and budget in a single workflow, without moving numbers between programs.
Excel & PDF export
Generate professional PDF proposals for the client and export to Excel to keep working. Customize with your logo and presentation format.
💡 Flawless deliverables you can send to the client or integrate with your current workflow.
