Estimate faster without hiding the assumptions

Construction estimating needs speed and control. Planaut is built for draft creation, review, adjustment, and budget handoff rather than black-box pricing.

Use real project inputs

Generate drafts from scope, documents, invoices, spreadsheets, production assumptions, and cost data.

Edit assumptions

Review quantities, rates, units, markups, notes, confidence, and source context before relying on the output.

Connect to budgets

Move approved estimate data into project budget tracking so preconstruction decisions stay connected to execution.
