FINANCIAL ESTIMATION:
COSTS UNDER CONTROL FROM THE DESIGN STAGE
COSTS UNDER PRESSURE:
A CHALLENGING CONTEXT IN 2025
In the Swiss construction sector, the current period is marked by significant economic tensions. The demand for urban housing and public infrastructure keeps rising, while material (concrete, stone, wood, insulation) and labor costs continue to increase. Despite sustainability efforts and optimization policies, indicators point to a steady rise in construction budgets.
At the same time, environmental regulations strengthen the requirements for energy and carbon performance, increasing the complexity of projects and investments right from the design stage. In this context, precise estimation becomes a strategic necessity.
WHY EARLY ESTIMATION CHANGES EVERYTHING
Models that anticipate costs allow for better project control. From the design phase, detailed estimation makes it possible to account for inflation risks, plan safety margins, and optimize technical choices. The goal: balance quality, sustainability, and costs while respecting the budget, timeline, and funding sources.
AVOID SURPRISES AND STAY IN CONTROL
A reliable early estimation helps avoid unpleasant surprises during construction. By identifying critical expenses, it allows adjustments before it’s too late. It is a key lever for budget control in increasingly complex projects.
ESTIMATE YOUR PROJECTS RELIABLY
After material analysis, our platform allows you to quickly and accurately estimate your project costs. Every modeled or imported element is linked to a continuously updated price database maintained by construction economists.
ESTIMATE BY CFC, MODELED OR NOT
Whether your elements are modeled or not, you can make an accurate estimation by CFC (Construction Cost Code). Each item is costed in real time, and you can export detailed reports in Excel or PDF.
Key Benefits:
- Clear and precise estimation of all your works
- Continuously updated price database
- CFC report tailored to your needs
With SwissEcoCarbone, you control your budget from the very first stages.
Be precise to anticipate, and avoid financial surprises.
