About My Build Cost

My Build Cost is a cloud-based construction cost estimation and management platform designed to simplify and digitize the entire pre-construction process.

My Build Cost is a cloud-based construction cost estimation and management platform designed to simplify and digitize the entire pre-construction process. It replaces traditional spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a centralized system that improves accuracy, saves time, and enhances project profitability. Built for owners, contractors, and consultants, My Build Cost integrates quantity take-off, cost estimation, budgeting, and cost control into a single, easy-to-use interface. With smart data entry powered by built-in cost libraries and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) templates, it eliminates repetitive tasks and minimizes human error.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Reduces manual errors with automated data entry and built-in cost libraries
  • Keeps drawings, quantities, and cost data in one place for easy tracking
  • Cloud access with role-based permissions for teams
  • Eliminates repetitive data entry and rework
  • Helps detect budget issues early and supports value engineering
Cons
  • Needs stable connection since it’s cloud-based
  • Users familiar with Excel may take time to adapt
  • If the platform has issues, work may be delayed
  • May not be as customizable as manual spreadsheets for unique cases

Features

Key features

Cloud-Based Centralization

Moves cost estimation from fragmented spreadsheets to a secure, single-version-of-truth platform accessible by the entire team from anywhere.

Integrated Cost Control

Connects the estimation process with cost control to identify financial "red flags" early and prevent budget overruns during construction.

Value Engineering & Reverse Engineering

Allows users to set budgets at the pre-design stage and perform multiple iterations to ensure the final estimate fits within the planned value.

Smart Data Entry & Templates

Utilizes extensive cost libraries (material and labor) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) templates to eliminate repetitive manual entry and minimize errors.

Digital Quantity Take-Off

Features an inbuilt toolset for deriving quantities directly from uploaded drawings, keeping measurements and cost data linked in one environment.

Excel Integration

Offers the ability to import data from Excel while adding the benefits of a database, such as traceability and zero re-entry mistakes.

Role-Based Collaboration

Facilitates seamless interaction between internal and external stakeholders (owners, consultants, contractors) with specific access levels.

Automated Reporting

Generates multiple professional reports at the push of a button, providing transparency and data for all project stakeholders.

Pre-Built Cost Libraries

Includes comprehensive data on construction items, labor resources, and material rates to speed up the bidding and planning process.

Real-Time Traceability

Maintains a clear audit trail between drawings, quantities, and costs, ensuring every figure in the estimate is verifiable and transparent.

Additional features

Role-Based Cloud Collaboration

A centralized platform where owners, consultants, and contractors work on the same version of an estimate with specific access permissions.

Integrated Cost Control

Connects the pre-construction estimate directly to the execution phase, highlighting budget variances and "red flags" in real-time.

Value Engineering Module

A unique feature enabling "reverse engineering" where you set a target budget and run iterations to adjust the design and materials to fit.

Pre-Built Cost Libraries

Provides extensive libraries for construction materials, labor resources, and machinery, allowing for rapid and standardized rate analysis.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Templates

Offers industry-standard templates for organizing project costs, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all trades and cost heads.

Smart Data Entry & Excel Sync

Combines the familiarity of Excel with the power of a database, featuring smart templates that eliminate repetitive entry and prevent human error.

Digital Quantity Take-Off

An inbuilt toolset that allows users to perform measurements directly on uploaded drawings, linking quantities to cost data without manual transcription.

Audit Trail & Traceability

Maintains a transparent link between every drawing measurement and its final cost, providing 100% accountability for every figure in the budget.

Multi-Iterative Planning

Allows for the creation and comparison of multiple estimation versions, helping teams choose the most profitable and efficient project path.

Automated Report Generation

Instantly produces professional estimation, budgeting, and quantity reports for all stakeholders at the push of a button.
