Cost Certainty at Every Stage, From Concept to Investment Approval
Developers aren't pricing a single job. They're managing a portfolio of projects moving through different stages at once, each needing a different level of cost detail. AedisPro is built to support that whole lifecycle with one tool, not a different workaround for every stage.
Concept-Stage Budgets, Built From Minimal Information
At concept stage, there's usually very little to work with. A few massing plans, no real detail, and a decision that still needs to be made about whether a project is even worth pursuing. What's needed at this point isn't a detailed cost plan; it's a fast, defensible high-level number based on floor area and volume, benchmarks like GIFA (Gross Internal Floor Area) or IFA, to set an initial budget.
Fast Floor Area and Volume Measurement
AedisPro's AI takeoff can measure floor area and volume directly from early massing drawings in minutes, even with little detail to work from.
Don't Wait for Full Drawings
An investment budget or early cost plan doesn't have to wait for a fuller drawing set. It can be produced as soon as there's a concept to measure.
Detailed BOQ Cost Plans as the Project Matures
As decisions get made and the project moves from concept toward construction, the level of cost detail required changes completely. Investment approval and bank loan applications need a proper BOQ-style cost plan, not a floor-area estimate.
Scales Without Switching Tools
AedisPro is built to handle that shift without switching tools. The same platform used for the early concept-stage number scales up to detailed BOQ cost plans as drawings become more developed.
Consistent Workflow
The workflow stays consistent even as the underlying documents and the stakes change.
One Tool Across a Portfolio of Projects at Different Stages
Managing multiple projects at once usually means each one is sitting at a different stage. One still at concept, another mid-design, another close to tender. Without a consistent way of costing across that spread, it's hard to compare projects against each other on equal footing.
Consistent Costing Approach
AedisPro provides the same underlying takeoff and cost-planning approach regardless of which stage a project is at, so cost plans across a portfolio stay produced the same way.
This makes it easier to compare projects against each other, not just track each one in isolation.
Portfolio Benefits:
- ✓Same tool from concept to construction
- ✓Comparable cost plans across projects
- ✓Consistent methodology portfolio-wide
- ✓Track multiple stages simultaneously
A Consistent Basis for Evaluating Contractor Quotes
Getting quotes from contractors happens at different stages too. An early budget quote against a concept-stage set, or a firm tender quote against detailed drawings. Without an independent cost plan of your own, it's difficult to know whether a contractor's number is reasonable at whatever stage it's being quoted.
Independent Basis for Comparison
Because AedisPro can produce a cost plan at the same stage and level of detail a contractor is quoting from, it gives an independent basis for evaluating whether a contractor's quote lines up with expectations.
At Any Project Stage
This works at whatever stage the project happens to be at, from early budget quotes through to detailed tender submissions.
Built for the Full Project Lifecycle, Not Just One Stage
Developers need cost certainty that keeps pace with a project as it moves from concept to construction, and consistency across a whole portfolio of projects doing that at once. AedisPro is the one tool built to do both.
