A digital platform designed to support early stage construction cost estimation and specification development. The user, whether a private client, developer or investor, would start by selecting the type of building they intend to develop, such as residential, commercial, hospitality, mixed use or industrial. They would then define key site characteristics, including topography conditions, site accessibility, location, construction standards and target quality level. Based on this information, the platform would generate a curated palette of suitable construction systems, materials, façade solutions, structural options, MEP strategies and finishing levels. By combining these parameters with the project’s gross floor area, the software would provide realistic construction cost estimates and benchmark comparisons. The platform would also assist in generating preliminary specifications and employer’s requirements, helping clients, architects, engineers and developers make informed decisions from the earliest stages of the project. The goal is to bridge the gap between concept design, cost planning and technical specification, transforming an initial development idea into a structured framework of costs, materials, construction methods and performance targets.
