You already have the data. The challenge is making it usable. costify does the heavy lifting, turning pricing documents into a structured, private cost intelligence database. That database powers benchmarking today, and whatever AI initiative comes next.
Construction cost teams are under increasing pressure. The work of transforming raw pricing documents into structured, comparable data is valuable but time-intensive, and it consistently falls below the line. costify removes that constraint entirely.
Does this sound familiar?
Structuring and classifying cost data is essential work, but it is time-consuming and repetitive. Most teams know exactly what needs doing. They simply do not have the bandwidth to do it consistently across every project.
Reclassifying a BoQ against an internal framework can take days. That is your most experienced estimators and commercial managers tied up in manual admin rather than analysis, risk, or decisions that generate value.
Every project that goes unstructured is a missed addition to your cost intelligence database. The backlog grows. The benchmark gets weaker. And the gap between what your data could tell you, and what it actually does, keeps widening.
No software implementation. No data preparation. costify automatically transforms your documents into structured, searchable, benchmark-ready data.

Your own taxonomy
Custom / bespoke
Map to any internal framework your firm already runs. No rebuild required.
Global standards. One platform. Or bring your own.
From raw documents to benchmark-ready intelligence. No implementation, no training, no workflow disruption.
No data preparation required. Just upload your existing spreadsheets or PDFs. We accept Excel, PDF, BoQs and more, exactly as they are.
Our AI and validation workflows structure and classify your data, mapping every line item to the correct taxonomy. Typically hours, not weeks.
Search rates. Compare projects. Benchmark portfolios. Feed Power BI. Power your AI. Your data is now commercial intelligence.
We never train on your data.
Your data stays isolated. Cyber Essentials Plus certified. UK hosted. ISO 27001 alignment in progress.
This is what your data can do once it's transformed.
Search any term across every project you've ever processed. Fuzzy matching means you don't need the exact original wording.
Search an element or combination of elements, divide by GFA or any custom metric you define, and save the query.
Total any trade or element across every sheet in a project without re-summing a single spreadsheet.
Full context is retained for every line item . Parent element, package, sheet tab, original description.
Engage with our team to define how your data should be classified. We build and implement a knowledge bank unique to your firm. Once live, every upload automatically applies your rules.
costify does not give you access to a shared dataset. It turns your own projects and rates into a private, structured database that belongs entirely to your organisation.
Compare your own past projects like-for-like regardless of how they were originally structured. There is no shared pool. Your benchmarks are built entirely from your own portfolio.
Feed dashboards with consistent commercial data. Power BI is only as good as the data behind it.
AI is only as good as the data behind it. Structured, classified cost data is the foundation every AI initiative needs.
Every project you deliver is a data asset. costify structures your own project history, your rates, your packages, and your benchmarks into a private database that grows with your business.
Every cost plan, tender report and benchmark study your practice has produced is raw material. costify structures your own project data so you can answer client questions with your own evidence. Not industry averages.
When you commission construction, you need cost intelligence you can defend, built from your own procurement history rather than someone else's averages. costify structures your own spend data so every bid evaluation is grounded in what you've actually paid.
