The Problem:
Static Estimates, Disconnected Context
Traditional construction estimating tools live in isolation.
They rely on static templates, manual inputs, and outdated pricing databases.
When the design changes or site conditions shift, costs must be rebuilt from scratch — wasting time and losing traceability between why numbers changed and where they came from.
The Solution:
Knowledge-Driven Estimating
Estimator.IQ operates within InQI’s Knowledge & Information Management (KIM) framework — connecting design, quantities, codes, and field data.
Instead of being a standalone cost calculator, it’s a dynamic cost intelligence system that continuously learns from every project, update, and verified outcome.
💡
Context-Aware Estimating
Reads project type, location, and binder data to apply cost logic specific to design scope, materials, and regulatory requirements.
