Estimate smarter,
bid with confidence.
XO-Estimo is a comprehensive construction estimating platform. BIM-connected takeoffs, rate libraries, cost planning, tender management, and budget tracking - from feasibility to final account.
Construction estimating is broken
Disconnected spreadsheets. Manual takeoffs. Out-of-date rates. Tender returns buried in email. Sound familiar?
Spreadsheet Chaos
Estimates scattered across Excel files with no link to drawings. Version control nightmares when designs change.
Manual Takeoffs
Hours spent measuring drawings that already have the data in the model. Quantities outdated the moment design changes.
Tender Chaos
Subcontractor returns buried in email attachments. No easy way to compare bids or track who's submitted.
Everything you need to estimate with confidence
XO-Estimo brings together takeoffs, rates, cost planning, tendering, and budget tracking in one connected platform.
BIM Takeoffs
Extract quantities directly from IFC models. Select elements, measure areas, count items - quantities update automatically when the model changes.
Rate Libraries
Build and maintain your own rate libraries with labour, material, and plant breakdowns. Import from BCIS, Spon's, or your historical data.
NRM Cost Plans
Structure estimates to NRM 1, NRM 2, or your own custom breakdown. Elemental cost plans that evolve from feasibility to tender.
Tender Management
Issue tender packages, track returns, compare bids side-by-side. Digital portal for subcontractor submissions with automatic BoQ comparison.
Budget Tracking
Monitor cost vs budget in real-time. Track committed costs, forecast final account, and report variances as the project progresses.
BoQ Generation
Generate bills of quantities from your takeoffs and cost plans. Export to Excel, PDF, or industry-standard formats for tender issue.
Estimating that keeps up with your project
XO-Estimo connects your BIM model to real cost data, giving you live estimates that update as designs evolve.
BIM-connected takeoffs
Extract quantities directly from your IFC model. No more manual measurement - select elements and XO-Estimo pulls the data automatically.
- One-click quantitiesSelect model elements to extract areas, lengths, volumes, and counts
- Live syncQuantities update automatically when the model changes
- Visual verificationClick any line item to highlight elements in the 3D view
Comprehensive rate libraries
Build and maintain your own rate libraries with full labour, material, and plant breakdowns. Import from industry databases or your historical projects.
- All-in ratesBreak down rates into labour, materials, plant, and overheads
- Import & exportImport from BCIS, Spon's, or export your library for offline use
- Location factorsApply regional adjustments automatically based on project location
NRM-structured cost plans
Structure your estimates to NRM 1 or NRM 2, or create custom elemental breakdowns. Cost plans that evolve from feasibility through to tender.
- Elemental breakdownNRM 1, NRM 2, UNICLASS, or custom structures
- Stage progressionEvolve estimates from order-of-cost to detailed BoQ
- Benchmark comparisonCompare against historical projects and industry data
Tender management
Issue tender packages, track returns, and compare bids side-by-side. No more chasing subcontractors via email or manually normalising returns.
- Digital tender portalSubcontractors submit bids directly into the platform
- Automatic comparisonSee all returns normalised against your BoQ line by line
- Award trackingTrack preferred bidders and generate award letters
