The quote was won, the work was done, and the margin was gone. Estimates built on last year's rates and gut feel lose money quietly, one order at a time.
What it does
01
Predicts real cost
From your past jobs, current input prices and job specifics.
02
Shows a confidence range
Not just a single number.
03
Recommends a price
That holds your target margin.
04
Learns from every completed job
So estimates get sharper over time.
Your data, your control: available on-prem if you prefer it.
What it tells you
Illustrative
You're winning the orders you should lose
Your last 30 won quotes came in 6% under true cost on average. You're winning because you're underpriced.
Reprice using predicted actuals. Protects ₹85L of margin a year at the same win rate on profitable jobs.
Illustrative
This quote will lose ₹4.2L before work begins
Steel is up 9% since your rate card was set, and jobs like this overran labour by 18% five times out of six.
Price at ₹41.5L, not ₹37L, or don't bid.
Illustrative
Not every job deserves the same margin
Complex, short-deadline jobs overrun twice as often, yet you quote them at the same margin as routine work.
Add a risk premium to high-variance jobs. Your margin stops swinging.
From your data to a decision.
01
Observe
Where the money really goes, from the systems you already have. No rip-and-replace.
02
Measure
Down to the product, order or item, with every number traceable to its source.
03
Co-create
With your people and your existing ownership. We plan how your team will use it.
04
Optimize
Weigh each cost against the value it creates, act, and track the saving.
Questions about Estimation Models
What is a cost estimation model?
A cost estimation model predicts what a job, product or project will cost before you commit to it. It learns from past work, the drivers behind cost such as materials, labour, time and complexity, and how actual costs compared with earlier estimates.
How does AI improve cost estimation?
AI can learn from every past job at once, including the ones where the estimate went wrong, and apply those patterns to a new quote together with current input prices. The result is a predicted cost with a confidence range, instead of a figure based on last year's rates and gut feel.
Why do quotes lose money?
Quotes usually lose money through costs that were left out or underestimated: input prices that moved after the rate card was set, labour overruns on complex work, rework and delays. An estimation model built on your own history catches these before the quote goes out.
How should you price a quote to protect margin?
Start from the predicted real cost rather than a standard rate, add the margin you need, and add a risk premium for jobs that historically overrun. Estimation Models recommends a price that holds your target margin, or tells you when not to bid.
