Presuo

Verified

Presuo is an online platform for construction budgets, bills of quantities, collaboration, and progress tracking.

Architects, contractors, estimators, project managers, and homeowners can use its free tools to open and edit BC3 files, convert construction PDFs to Excel, and work with budgets exported from Presto—without registering.

With an account, users can save budgets, collaborate on individual items, manage project documents, track completed quantities, and prepare progress certificates.

An AI assistant, available within Presuo and through ChatGPT, helps users create draft proposals, understand budgets, and record project updates from site.

Presuo Overview

Presuo helps construction teams turn estimates and bills of quantities into a shared workspace for budget review, collaboration, site progress, and certification. It is designed for architects, contractors, cost estimators, project managers, and homeowners managing construction or renovation projects.

A connected workspace with an account

Registered users can save budgets and continue working with them throughout a project. Import existing budget data, organize sections and line items, review quantities and prices, and analyze where costs are concentrated.

Collaboration happens directly alongside the budget. Teams can comment on individual items, mention collaborators, request agreement, and follow activity and decisions. Project documents and role-based access help participants work with the information relevant to them.

During construction, users can record completed quantities against budget items and track planned, executed, certified, and remaining work. Progress certificates connect each reporting period with previous certification and cumulative totals, helping teams review the amounts and supporting quantities together.

AI assistance in Presuo and ChatGPT

Presuo’s AI assistant helps users turn an initial scope into a draft proposal, find budget items, understand costs and remaining work, and review changes or pending approvals. It can also help record measured progress, add comments, and request approval on specific items. Professional review, approval decisions, and issuing certificates remain with the user.
