Example Use Cases

Preparing a shell & core tender?

Monitoring material costs during an active build?
You set trade-type Building, region South West, scale Office Project. COSTUS updates showed timber and steel trending up x% this month — letting you flag potential cost exposure.

Supporting client negotiations with data?
