The estimate was ready. Then the design changed. Then the scope shifted. Then the phase restarted. You built it again from scratch.

THE PROBLEM

Phase three. The budget is presented. The owner asks where the number came from. Nobody in the room can fully trace it.

The Pattern That Repeats On Every Project

Conceptual estimates get discarded at design development. Design quantities become obsolete by construction. Each phase restart loses accumulated knowledge. Stakeholders work from different, conflicting information.

By the time you piece it back together, decisions have locked in and options have narrowed to damage control

HIGH-LEVEL SOLUTION

Cost Intelligence That Builds Instead of Restarts

Cost uncertainty does not happen at one phase. It compounds across all of them, and it compounds fastest when intelligence resets between phases.

Rapid Conceptual Estimate Development

AEConcept™

Validate program feasibility before committing to design. Replace rough estimates with detailed, trackable budgets that reduce contingencies and set realistic targets from day one.

  • Budgets before drawings exist. Parametric assemblies generate line-item detail from minimal project inputs.
  • Your history. Your numbers. Assembly libraries built from your actual project data, not industry averages.
  • ROM estimates, replaced. Line-item budgets with traceable assumptions from the first conversation.
Available Now
Design-to-Estimate Acceleration

AEConnect™

Eliminate design surprises that blow budgets. See cost impacts immediately, enabling architects to stay within budget while contractors get accurate scope for better bids.

  • 70% faster. Proven on site. Documented on a $4.3B hospital project with California Drywall Company.
  • Cost updates as you design. Model changes flow to estimate updates in hours, not weeks.
  • No rip and replace. Connects directly to your existing estimating tools and workflows.

Continuous Tracking & Risk Quantification

AECalibration™

Know your confidence level at every milestone. Track assumptions as they convert to reality. Identify gaps before they become expensive surprises.

  • Know your risk. Every phase. Confidence levels quantified at schematic, DD, and CD milestones.
  • Assumptions tracked. Nothing hidden. Every estimate basis documented and compared against actuals as construction proceeds.
  • Patent-pending Living Cost Model. Validated across $11B+ in construction projects.

Who Benefits

Every role in the project loses something when cost intelligence resets between phases. What each role loses is different.
