Digital audit trail
The hidden cost of manual quantity surveying.
You're the guardian of the budget. But your tools haven't evolved since 2005. Here's where the hours disappear.
Takeoffs consume your entire week
Measuring plans manually, cross-referencing spec sheets, building BOQs line by line. By the time your estimate is ready, the contractor has already started pricing with someone else's numbers.
Spreadsheets don't talk to each other
Your cost plan lives in one file, your valuations in another, your variation register in a third. Reconciling them at month-end is a full day of copy-pasting and formula-checking that adds zero value.
Variations slip through the cracks
The contractor emails a variation on Tuesday. You're on site Wednesday. By Friday, the work is done and nobody recorded the cost impact. Now you're explaining a budget overrun to the client.
One platform for the entire cost lifecycle.
BuiltUp replaces the spreadsheet stack. From first estimate to final account, everything lives in one place.
AI-Powered Takeoffs
Upload drawings or describe the scope. The AI generates a detailed, trade-by-trade Bill of Quantities using your rate library and material database. What used to take days now takes minutes. Accuracy improves with every project you complete.
Real-Time WIP Reporting
See earned value, billed-to-date, cost-to-complete, and projected final cost across every project on a single dashboard. Export professional reports for client meetings in one click. No more month-end spreadsheet marathons.
Variation Tracking & Scope Creep Guard
BuiltUp's AI monitors project communications and flags potential scope changes. Variations are logged with cost impact, linked to the original scope, and tracked through approval to payment. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Valuation & Payment Certification
Generate interim valuations tied to project milestones. Track applications for payment, certify amounts due, and monitor retention schedules. Clients see a clear audit trail through their branded portal.
Cost Intelligence & Benchmarking
Drill into cost data by trade, material, phase, or supplier. Compare actual vs. estimated costs in real time. Build a rate library that gets smarter with every project you complete.
BuiltClip Price Sourcing
Browse any supplier website and clip products directly into your estimate. Compare prices across multiple vendors without leaving your desk. Build accurate material schedules in half the time.
Multi-Project Portfolio View
Managing costs across multiple projects? The portfolio dashboard shows budget status, cost alerts, and WIP summaries for every active job. Prioritise your time where it matters most.
Full Audit Trail & Compliance
Every estimate, variation, approval, and payment certificate is timestamped and logged. Protect yourself in disputes, satisfy compliance requirements, and demonstrate professional governance to your clients.
I was drowning in spreadsheets trying to track costs across six live projects. BuiltUp consolidated everything into one dashboard. The AI takeoff feature cut my measurement time by 70%, and the WIP reports look more professional than anything I was producing manually. My clients noticed the difference immediately.
