Stop Chasing Down Project Changes

Instantly summarize and document all cost estimate adjustments after team discussions.

Every project change means another round of emails, calls, and document edits. Details slip through the cracks, and you waste hours consolidating feedback from engineers, architects, and contractors.

A Cost Estimate Change Agent for Cost Estimators is an AI-powered agent that helps cost estimators capture, summarize, and document changes to cost estimates after conferring with project stakeholders, enabling faster, more accurate updates.
