03Management review
Management rates the tender and decides whether to go ahead.
Management scores the tender and the risk before the team starts work.
The team only works on tenders management believes in.
COS / Design and build
For design and build: price and risk under control.
When you carry both design and construction, every pricing mistake comes out of your margin. COS links the bid price, budget, orders and real cost.
Built with our first construction partners in Croatia and Serbia.
Where it gets stuck today
01
Fixed price
The price is given early and the risk stays with you until handover.
02
Budget after contract
The contract price never becomes a budget and orders, so deviations show up late.
03
Cash flow
You cannot see in advance when money comes in and when it goes out.

06Item estimate
Every BOQ item gets an estimate: materials, machines and labour.
Every item has an estimate: materials, equipment and labour.
Every item price is explained and checkable, down to the last hour.
11Bid price and submission
