Example Use Cases

Tendering a plant room installation?
You selected trade-type Mechanical, region East Midlands, scale Commercial Fit-Out. COSTUS showed labour £x/hr and £/m² benchmarks for pipework and ductwork — helping you refine your estimate before submission.

Checking chiller installation costs for a budget check?
You entered Mechanical (HVAC), region South West, scale Medium Project. COSTUS generated live benchmark data for chillers and duct labour — confirming your pricing matched current regional trends.

Reviewing completed M&E packages for performance?
You compared final costs from past Mechanical projects in Scotland and identified a x% labour efficiency gain year-over-year — data you can use to justify future bids.
