Created by Contractors for Contractors

Building & Trade contractors often struggle with outdated and inefficient cost management processes, relying on manual spreadsheets and disconnected systems that often lead to delays, errors, and a lack of real-time financial visibility.

This can result in unexpected cost overruns, inaccurate budgeting, and a disjointed view of project finances, ultimately putting profitability at risk.

LiveCosts addresses these challenges by providing a comprehensive cost management platform that automates manual tasks, integrates seamlessly with existing accounting software, and delivers real-time insights into project costs.

This empowers construction businesses to streamline their operations, reduce errors, and make data-driven decisions that improve profitability and project outcomes

There’s a tangible benefit – it’s helped save us accountancy costs, which is really good. I haven’t got to wait for an accountant to tell me how my business is doing.

Nat Macauley​

Managing Director, JCM Fine Joinery

LiveCosts runs throughout our whole company now, right from site staff recording deliveries, and site admin staff being able to track costs – especially labour costs – to here at the office being able to track POs, to the management being able to look at the overall picture for jobs.​

Derek Byrne

Financial Controller, Apollo Group​

Before we had LiveCosts, our biggest problem was the accuracy on the margins of jobs. LiveCosts has saved us at least 6 days a month, and probably more.​
