Construction Budgeting Software made Simple
Managing construction budgets manually is frustrating. It is time-consuming, and prone to errors. Relying on spreadsheets and outdated processes makes it even difficult to track costs in real time, leading to budget overruns and lost profitability.
With LiveCosts, you can take control of your construction budgets, compare actual spending against planned costs, and eliminate financial blind spots. Our software empowers teams to manage budgets efficiently, reduce manual work, and ensure every project stays on track.

What makes us different ?
Track budgets with real project cost data. No guesswork, just clear visibility into spend, margins, and budget changes.
See how each project is performing against budget as costs are added, not after the job is finished.
Track costs before invoices arrive, giving teams earlier visibility into what has already been ordered or approved.
Organised budgets by phase, cost code, supplier, or work package, so teams can see exactly where money is being used.
Finance and operation teams can review work in progress with unbilled expenses, late updates, and month-end queries.
Give project teams the budget visibility they need without giving everyone access to sensitive accounting software.
LiveCosts helps contractors spot budget drift early, adjust decisions faster, and keep project profitability in focus.

“I think that month end WIP process is a lot slicker. Now when Finance and Operations leave the room, we’re all on the same page. There’s no massive queries around finance supposed to cost the wrong job, missing data, that type of thing. Which detracts from the process. So the removal of all those queries, has been a bit of a game changer.”
“The most beneficial aspect of LiveCosts is the cost and reports for each project and the live profit margins. They’re being shown right there on the home page once you log in so it’s easy and clear to see all the real-time information with our reports being pulled up within minutes.”
