The Problem

Stop Letting a 2-WeekWait Kill a 2-Day Decision
Picture this brutal truth: while your clients make million-dollar decisions in days, you're asking them to wait weeks for a basic cost estimate. We've seen it happen more times than we can count. A project has incredible momentum, the client is buzzing with excitement, and then… you have to hit the brakes.You wait for a QS. The energy drains. The client's confidence wavers. Their anxiety climbs. By the time the numbers finally land, the magic is gone, and sometimes, so is the trustWe were done with this insanity. Watching brilliant architects stumble through budget conversations, crossing their fingers or avoiding the numbers altogether, felt like a betrayal of the entire craft. It's a broken system, and it's holding the best people backSo, we decided to tear up the industry rulebook and build something revolutionary.
