Cost Database

Bid with numbers you can trust.

Your margin lives or dies on your cost data. Keep materials, labor, equipment, supplier pricing, and reusable work packages in one system so every estimate starts from real numbers.

Everything in your cost system

Material Pricing You Control

Track material prices by category and update quickly when supplier pricing changes.

Labor Rates by Task

Set labor assumptions by task so bids reflect how your crews actually perform in the field.

Equipment Cost Coverage

Include owned and rented equipment costs so heavy-use jobs are priced correctly.

Reusable Work Packages

Build reusable assembly templates for repeat scopes so your team stops rebuilding the same estimate sections from scratch.

Category Structure That Scales

Organize costs by category so review, reporting, and pricing updates stay manageable as your catalog grows.

Supplier Context

Keep supplier terms and contacts tied to the costs they influence so purchasing and estimating stay aligned.

How your cost database works

Build a dependable pricing foundation, reuse it on every bid, and improve it with real project outcomes.

1
Build

Set up your baseline costs

Start with your current pricing and organize it into one reliable company-wide source of truth.

  • Import-friendly setup from existing catalogs and spreadsheets
  • Category-based organization across trades
  • Labor, material, and equipment alignment
  • Consistent company-wide pricing baseline
2
Package

Create repeatable scopes

Bundle repeat scopes into reusable packages so estimators build faster without missing key components.

  • Reusable package building for common work types
  • Standardized inputs for repeat scopes
  • Faster estimate assembly
  • Lower line-item omission risk
3
Estimate

Price jobs from your real data

Use current catalog data in estimates so proposals are grounded in current costs, not stale spreadsheets.

  • Fast lookup of catalog items during estimating
  • Package expansion into estimate line items
  • Category-aware pricing support
  • Job-specific pricing flexibility when needed
4
Improve

Use real outcomes to tighten future bids

Use completed-job outcomes to improve your pricing so each next estimate starts from better numbers.

  • Estimate-vs-actual variance visibility
  • Category-level cost drift awareness
  • Supplier trend visibility
  • Continuous estimate quality improvement

Build Once, Reuse On Every Job

Standardize repeat scopes so estimators move faster and maintain consistency across the team.

  • Build reusable templates that pull current material, labor, and equipment pricing when applied
  • Scope-level consistency for repeat work
  • Faster estimate assembly
  • Reduced missed-line-item risk

Supplier-Driven Pricing Confidence

Keep supplier details and terms close to pricing decisions so buying assumptions stay realistic.

  • Supplier-linked pricing visibility
  • Contact and terms in one place
  • Purchasing context tied to estimating
  • Better purchasing confidence

Equipment Costs That Protect Margin

Include equipment costs in every relevant scope so heavy-use jobs do not quietly burn margin.

  • Equipment rate tracking support
  • Operational cost context in estimating
  • More realistic project pricing
  • Stronger margin protection

Pricing Defaults With Smart Flexibility

Keep estimating consistent with default pricing rules while allowing controlled overrides where the deal requires it.

  • Pricing cascades from organization defaults down to division, budget, and line-item decisions
  • Override at the level you need without losing your baseline
  • More consistent estimating behavior
  • Controlled exception handling

How cost data drives better execution

Data flows through the platform. Here's where this feature fits.

Costs → Estimates

Cost data drives estimate quality from first draft to final proposal.

Projects → Actuals

Completed job outcomes feed back into better pricing decisions.

Suppliers → Pricing

Supplier inputs keep future buying assumptions grounded in reality.

Actual Costs → Future Bids

As real costs come in from completed work, future bids get tighter and more profitable.

Work Packages → Faster Estimating

Reusable work packages turn repeat scopes into fast, consistent estimate building blocks.
