Built for UK contractors & commercial teams

Most margin is not lost at tender.
It leaks during delivery.

  • Estimate and actual cost diverge
  • Supplier commitments change
  • Site activity creates unplanned cost
  • Variations are not recovered quickly
  • Teams work from disconnected information

COST AND CARBON IN THE SAME ESTIMATE

Every estimate line can carry both a financial rate and an embodied-carbon factor, allowing commercial and sustainability teams to work from the same project quantities and data.

Cost Rate
£100.00 / unit
Margin
20%
Selling Rate
£125.00 / unit
kgCO2e
15 / unit

Illustrative values only. Margin is calculated as a percentage of the selling rate; carbon uses the selected factor.

Report from live project data
