Cost Estimator
Enter your project inputs and complexity scores to get an accurate base cost, point estimate, and budget range — modelled directly from your Excel workbook.
1 Project Inputs
Select your organisation profile. Blue cells from the Calculator sheet.
2 Weighted Complexity Scoring
Score each category 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). Weights are from the Tables sheet.
