Cost management as a service

Cost management service is a service model developed for developers and project owners. It enables the management of new build or renovation project based on financial, quality, and environmental objectives throughout all phases of design and construction.

The service integrates cost estimation expertise with the intelligent simulation capabilities of the Haahtela Realaizer® software. With the support of our skilled cost expert – leveraging cutting-edge technology and benchmarking data – projects can be launched with agility. Once the functional and financial parameters are clearly defined, the design process can begin and proceed efficiently.

The simulations produced by Realaizer® are based on over 50 years of Haahtela’s research and development, as well as continuously updated construction cost data. Using the same service and technology, we also calculate and manage carbon footprint and life cycle costs.

Efficient designing within budget

With the simulations produced through our service, you can make informed spatial decisions within your budget and assess the feasibility of your project.  

As the project parameters become more defined or evolve, you can compare alternatives and evaluate the viability of investment decisions before entering the actual design phase.

As your partner, we help steer the design process efficiently in the right direction throughout the entire project. Our focus remains firmly on achieving project goals and enhancing productivity.

Our cost management service is suitable for all types of construction projects, regardless of project delivery method.  

We become your partner when you want to

1. Accelerate project initiation

With the cost management service, you can reduce the need for early-stage design and launch your project quickly, guided by financial objectives. Functional requirements, intended use, and site location are sufficient to begin cost assessment.

2. Stay within budget

With the support of our cost experts and Realaizer simulations, you can make the right spatial decisions within your budget, provide continuous feedback to project partners, and improve forecasting and budget reliability.

Without professional cost control, final project costs can vary by ±30% from the initial estimate. With our cost management service, this range is significantly narrowed to ±5%. 

3. Respond to changes with agility

Changes and course corrections are inevitable in construction projects. With Realaizer® technology, the impact of changes can be simulated much faster than with traditional methods, enabling informed decisions without delays.

4. Manage sustainability and life cycle costs

The service also enables the calculation and management of carbon footprint and life cycle costs, supporting the implementation of sustainable solutions.

5. Improve productivity

Transparent cost simulations increase cost awareness across the project team, save time and money, and enhance overall project productivity.
