THE FIRST AI THAT KNOWS WHAT YOUR PROJECT WILL COST

From six week estimates to six minutes.

BuildEngine doesn't just calculate costs — it shows you where your uncertainty lives, what to resolve first, and why you can trust the number.

Foresight, Engineered

BuildEngine simulates the construction process end-to-end, revealing cost, sequencing, and risk before they become expensive problems.

The Real Challenge

Estimating Isn't Math. It's Decision-Making.

The hard part isn't adding up numbers. It's knowing which numbers to trust, what's missing, and where to focus your attention.

The 80/20 Problem

In any estimate, 5-7 line items drive 60-70% of total cost. Most tools bury these drivers in a hierarchy you have to navigate. BuildEngine surfaces them immediately.

The Confidence Gap

A number without context is just a guess with decimal places. Is this unit cost reasonable? How does it compare to past projects? BuildEngine answers before you ask.

The Coverage Anxiety

"Did we forget an entire scope?" BuildEngine's AI flags missing divisions and asks the questions a senior estimator would ask.

How It Works

From Plans to Price to Confidence

BuildEngine doesn't just generate an estimate. It gives you a structured path to a number you can stand behind.

For Builders

Why Builders Trust BuildEngine

Estimates Worth Standing Behind

Price projects with confidence you can explain. When a client asks "why is it this much?" — you have the decomposition, the comparisons, and the data. Not a guess. A defensible number.

Know What to Resolve First

Stop wondering where to focus. BuildEngine ranks every item by weighted uncertainty — cost × confidence gap × volatility. Work the queue. Watch confidence climb.

Catch What's Missing

The worst surprises are missing scopes. BuildEngine's AI flags gaps: "Projects of this type usually include X." Catch it before it catches you.

Show Clients the Build

Walk clients through the 3D construction simulation — every phase, every trade. Transform nervous clients into confident partners who understand how their investment becomes their home.

What Builders Are Saying

"I spend 30% of my time just getting pricing information. That's time I should be spending with my clients and my crews."

Custom Home Builder, Napa Valley

"My clients building $3M homes deserve quick answers when they ask 'what if we did this instead?' Now I can give them that — with confidence I can explain."

Luxury Residential Contractor, Aspen

"The worst part of my job is telling clients their dream home is 40% over budget after months in design. BuildEngine catches that in week one."

Architect, Modern Mountain Homes
