Construction cost control ROI calculator

Late cost information and manual reconciliation carry a commercial price: margin that erodes before anyone can act, and senior time spent rebuilding a position by hand. This calculator puts a rough figure on both, using your assumptions rather than ours.

Everything is calculated in your browser from the numbers you enter. Nothing is sent to us, and no figure here is a guarantee of savings.

Your assumptions

Total value of the projects you want to control better.

How many projects are running at once.

Your planned margin on that work.

Share of margin that erodes before anyone can intervene. Use your own experience.

How much of the late erosion earlier visibility could realistically have changed.

Time spent rebuilding the position by hand.

Commercial and delivery staff cost, fully loaded.

How much of that manual effort a connected position would remove.
