A BuildOs Construction Intelligence product
CostPulse
Cost intelligence for software you already run. CostPulse learns real unit costs and serves them through an API so your CRM, estimating tool, or custom app prices from truth — not guesses.
Who this is for
Not a stand-alone “click and bid” app for non-technical users. CostPulse is a logic / intelligence layer you plug into systems that already run the office — or use fully inside BuildOs Pro where the screens are built for you.
- Software teams & integrators — call the rates API from your CRM or estimating stack
- BuildOs Pro shops — CostPulse is included; photo/scope pricing uses your learned book
- Not ideal alone if you want a full estimating UI with no other software — get BuildOs Pro instead
API add-on — how it works
After you subscribe, create an API key in BuildOs (SmartMail → API keys, with rates:read). Your developer calls:
Returns learned / set unit costs from your company’s cost intelligence — not hallucinated dollars.
Want estimating screens, not just an API?
That’s BuildOs Pro — CostPulse intelligence is included, with photo/scope takeoff, proposals, and the rest of the OS.
