About Cost-Valuator

Bridging the Gap Between Digital Models and Ground Reality

Cost-Valuator: Translating 3D geometry into quantified commercial risk.

Sai Shyam P S, founder of Cost-Valuator

From the Dirt to the Data

Cost-Valuator was not conceptualised in a software lab; it was born from the harsh realities of physical construction sites. Before transitioning into Information Management, our founder, Sai Shyam P S, spent over half a decade in the trenches of civil engineering. Managing site execution, resource workflows, and strict regulatory compliance across more than 60 projects illuminated a massive industry disconnect.

On a physical site, an uncoordinated design error translates into massive physical waste—labour stands idle, materials are scrapped, and project margins bleed. After mastering the digital frameworks of the AEC industry with an MSc in BIM & Digital Transformation, a critical gap remained: standard federated BIM software is excellent at flagging a geometric clash, but it completely ignores the commercial reality. A pipe intersecting a structural beam isn't just a "3D collision"—it is a £35,000 contractual liability.

Cost-Valuator was architected to be the missing bridge.

A Complete Commercial Risk Engine

Every layer of the platform is engineered to turn coordination noise into contractual, costed action.

Frictionless Ingestion
Securely drops .zip Navisworks exports into the browser using JIT memory extraction.
Automated Financial Valuation
Custom fuzzy-matching engine scans clashes against predefined Cost Rules, instantly assigning monetary risk.
Trade Liability Assignment
Auto-categorises clashes by discipline and assigns the responsible subcontractor.
Secure Workspaces
Junction-table database architecture allows secure project sharing with Field Managers without exposing company data.
Mobile Site Capture
Site Managers can access native device cameras to attach physical photos to digital clash logs.
Contractual RFIs
Exports immutable PDF RFIs combining the Navisworks image, physical site photo, and financial valuation.
