Built for Owners and Developers
Stop relying solely on contractor numbers. Get independent quantity data to validate bids, check feasibility, and make confident investment decisions.
Independent cost intelligence for project owners
Run your own takeoffs to verify contractor bids, validate budgets during feasibility, and track quantity changes through design development.
Contractor bid validation
Run independent takeoffs to verify the quantities behind contractor proposals. Identify where bids are inflated, where scope may be missing, and where pricing seems inconsistent.
Feasibility analysis
Get preliminary quantities during early design phases to validate project budgets before committing capital. Know whether the project pencils before breaking ground.
Budget tracking through design
Track how quantities change across design iterations. Understand the cost impact of design decisions as drawings evolve from concept to construction documents.
Change order review
When contractors submit change orders, verify the quantities independently. Know whether the claimed quantities match what is actually on the revised drawings.
Why independent quantity data matters for project owners
Most owners and developers rely on their contractors and consultants for quantity information during budgeting, bidding, and construction. This creates an information asymmetry where the parties spending the money have limited ability to independently verify the numbers. When a contractor bid comes in higher than expected, the owner often lacks the data to determine whether the premium reflects genuine project complexity or inflated quantities. When change orders arise during construction, the owner must typically accept the contractor quantities at face value or hire expensive third-party quantity surveyors.
AI-powered takeoffs give owners and developers the ability to generate independent quantities from the same plans their contractors use. This does not replace the contractor estimating process or the role of professional cost consultants. It adds a fast, accessible verification layer that project owners can use at every stage: during feasibility to validate early budgets, during bidding to check contractor proposals, and during construction to review change orders. The result is better-informed decisions at every stage of the project lifecycle, backed by data the owner controls.
Invest with better information
Owners and developers using Exayard report better contractor negotiations, fewer budget surprises, and more confident investment decisions.
Validate bids before you commit
Independent quantities give you a second opinion on every contractor bid. Negotiate from a position of knowledge, not just market comparisons.
Catch budget issues during feasibility
Run preliminary takeoffs on early design documents to check whether the project budget is realistic before you commit significant capital.
Reduce change order exposure by 35%
Independent quantity verification catches discrepancies before construction. Fewer surprises during building means fewer costly change orders.
Track cost through design development
Understand exactly how each design iteration affects project quantities. Make informed decisions about design changes before they hit the budget.
Strengthen your owner rep team
Give your owner representatives and project managers the tools to verify contractor work with data, not just experience and judgment.
Standardize due diligence
Apply the same quantity verification process across your entire portfolio. Consistent analysis leads to more predictable project outcomes.
