When building your cost models to produce initial budgets or estimates, unlike some applications, CostAdviser Professional does not simply update old historic information of costs of previously-built buildings; it builds a completely new and unique fully-detailed construction cost model from the ground upwards, element-by-element! Since our incorporation in 2002 we have produced a vast database of building data, which is constantly maintained and kept up-to-date. For each building our software will select an appropriate element unit quantity and element unit rate for each element from this database according to your project requirements and produce a fully-detailed construction cost model.
CostAdviser Professional can produce initial advisory budgets or estimates for hundreds of common types of building entities in just a few minutes!
You can adjust the initial advisory details very easily according to your own knowledge of the project.
You can also set an overall budget available and CostAdviser Professional will advise the budget available for each element to meet this overall requirement!
This may all sound complex, but our software does all the hard work for you and is very easy to use with intuitive operation.
