About

CostMate is estimating software built for New Zealand residential builders — solo operators and two-person crews doing renovations, bathrooms, decks and additions. Labour is calculated using phase-based production rates adjusted for real site conditions (access, height, existing-building constraints, crew size) rather than a flat square-metre rate. BRANZ wastage percentages are applied to material quantities automatically. NZ Building Code requirements — external moisture, wet areas, energy efficiency, timber framing — are built into every estimate by default, not left as a checklist. A quote-checking step reviews the estimate and flags scope commonly missed on residential quotes before it's sent to the client. CostMate runs on a rules engine, not a language model — every quantity, wastage figure and code item is deterministic and reproducible, and can be traced back to why it's there. It is not a quantity surveying package, project management platform, or job scheduling tool.

About

Piper is the AI operating system for preconstruction, built for general contractors' pursuit and estimating teams. Piper connects drawings, specifications, addenda, quotes, estimates and company knowledge so teams can generate scopes, level bids and review risk — with every finding linked back to the drawing, spec clause or addendum it came from. Scope Generation: turn drawings, specifications, addenda and company standards into source-backed trade scopes, so you know exactly what you are asking each trade to carry. Bid Leveling: compare subcontractor bids against the intended scope, so the low number does not hide an expensive gap. Final Bid Review: review the estimate against the project behind it, and focus senior attention on what still deserves judgment. Survey: turn your company's experience into a repeatable survey that captures what the team learns on every project. Piper is not a takeoff or estimating calculator, and it does not replace estimator judgment.
