Cost calculation
Project costs can vary significantly, even when the perceived quality remains the same. With our strong cost management expertise, you can set accurate financial targets and ensure your budget stays on track. We also assess project risks and profitability – with a full life-cycle perspective.

Accurate cost estimations for your project's success
We offer Finland’s leading cost estimation and planning expertise to support the financial management of your new construction or renovation project.
As your partner, we help bring financial certainty to project planning, streamline procurement and support effective project management. Our specialists prepare calculations that ensure the efficiency and financial viability of your project, while also assessing profitability and the financial impact of risks.
Our cost planning does not mean compromising on the quality or functionality of your property, but rather purpose-driven cost management aligned with the targets set. Investing in our service is a sound decision, enabling you to make cost-aware choices at every stage of your project.
“We deliver comprehensive analyses and recommendations for evaluating, comparing, and controlling costs at every stage of your construction project."
Financial calculations covering the entire lifecycle
The most critical cost-impacting decisions are made early in your project. We are your trusted cost management partner from start to finish, combining extensive cost benchmarking data from completed construction projects in Finland with strong expertise in building information modelling and the latest forecasting technologies.
We provide quantity surveying services as a foundation for cost estimation, and when needed, deliver individual cost estimates or comparative calculations – whether it's a target price estimate, an element-based cost assessment, or a performance-based cost estimate.
Our calculations take into account not only the initial investment but also the lifecycle costs accumulated over the years of your building’s use.
Profitability analysis to support clear decision-making
We provide profitability assessments for residential and commercial developments, factory construction, land use planning, and housing company renovation projects. You stay up to date on your project’s financial viability throughout its lifecycle.
Our illustrative, market-informed profitability analysis, including cash flow projections, provides long-term clarity. We help you identify the design options that best meet your quality, economic, and sustainable construction goals.
Our cost risk analysis brings hidden risks to light
Our cost risk analysis is based on research data and actual cost outcomes from completed construction projects. It identifies hidden cost risks in your project and visualises the likelihood of their occurrence. This keeps you informed about the accuracy of your cost estimates and allows you to take corrective action in time.
You'll gain insights into, for example, the likelihood of staying within budget or exceeding it, as well as the key risk factors to prioritise in your cost management. We can also deliver the analysis as a workshop where project stakeholders jointly identify risks and commit to managing them in line with agreed cost targets.
