What is
Actually?
Actually is an easy-to-use online tool that calculates cost, carbon and building performance estimates in real time. With Actually users can measure, report and actively make informed design choices for their building projects.
Simply upload the IFC files exported from CAD software, and choose the products that best fit the project's goals. Whether it's the environment, cost, or building performance, best practice means knowing the impact of what we design and build. And, when we know better, we can do better.

Actually
make smarter
choices.
With Actually you can compare materials side-by-side. Whether you’re designing to a budget or aiming to lessen the environmental impact of a build, Actually empowers you to make informed design decisions and smarter choices.
Not sure what ‘good’ looks like for a project like yours? Actually sets a baseline so you know the average cost and environmental impact of similar building designs.
Better for the planet
Actually
make a
difference.
To limit climate change, we need to reduce carbon emissions - and we need to do so fast. Unfortunately, current building practice is a big part of the problem.
As well as cost estimates, Actually provides scientifically accurate carbon data for every project, so designers, developers and homeowners can actively help the planet by working towards reducing carbon emissions.
