THE CHALLENGE

Estimation without a system

Zero-energy construction requires precise energy calculations for every home. The existing process relied on complex spreadsheets that were slow, error-prone, and impossible to standardise across contractors. Performance data after construction was disconnected from the estimation phase, making it impossible to learn from completed projects.

THE APPROACH

From spreadsheet to platform

We built a structured calculation engine that encodes the estimation methodology into a repeatable, auditable process. Connected it to a live monitoring layer that tracks actual energy performance against predictions.

RESULTS

Measurable impact

Estimation time cut by 40%

Structured calculation engine replaced a 40-tab spreadsheet process, reducing errors and enabling consistent pricing across projects.

Real-time energy monitoring

Live dashboards track actual vs. predicted performance across all 150+ sites, enabling early intervention when buildings underperform.

Single source of truth

All project data, calculations, and performance metrics accessible from one platform by all stakeholders.

Contractor adoption

Three construction firms actively use the platform for their zero-energy projects, with two more onboarding.
