ShouldCoster, a product of Manuformance
The ShouldCoster is a product of Manuformance. We believe that software and services create a powerfull combination that strenthens our knowledge & services. Throughout our projects, we actively educate & coach our clients, ensuring they can confidently apply our software and methodologies independently.
Under the name of our Cost Engineering Services, we offer interim cost engineering, calculations as a service & cost driver analysis. Could you use some extra product costing expertise & capacity? Feel free to reach out & discuss your challenges!
Also need quick cost estimations?
In early stages of development, some details required for calculation can still be missing, and a quick estimates are often sufficient. Proper tools for quick estimation help you save time and enable other engineers without costing experience to come up with first estimations, making cost monitoring much easier and effective at any stage.
Our Estimation and Calculation modules can be used seperatly, or combined.
