RIS Project Cost Estimator
KNOW THE COST BEFORE THE WORK STARTS.
BUILD A CLEARER PROJECT ESTIMATE FROM LABOUR, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS.
The RIS Project Cost Estimator gives industrial and construction teams a structured way to build planning-stage project costs without starting from a blank spreadsheet.
Enter your labor requirements, equipment needs and material costs, then let the workbook calculate direct costs and build them into a complete estimate with overhead, contingency, markup and tax.
WHERE PROJECT COSTS GET LOST
A ROUGH NUMBER ISN'T A PLAN.
Project costs rarely come from one place. Labor hours change. Equipment requirements grow. Material costs move. Then overhead, contingency, markup and tax get added on top.
When those pieces are estimated separately—or buried across different spreadsheets—it becomes harder to see what the project may actually cost.
THE BETTER YOU UNDERSTAND THE COST BEFORE THE WORK STARTS, THE FEWER SURPRISES YOU HAVE AFTER IT DOES.
