Still estimating in Excel? Enterprise tools like InEight and HCSS are overcomplicated, expensive, and built for dedicated estimating teams. TamCost gives you everything you need — nothing you don't.
Everything You Need to Win More Bids
A clean, intuitive platform built around how heavy civil estimators actually work.
CBS Estimating
Build structured cost breakdowns with a full hierarchy — bid items, activities, and resources — so every dollar is accounted for before you submit.
Resource Management
Manage your labour, equipment, materials, and subcontractor rates in one place. Set company-wide rates or override per estimate.
Scheduling & Gantt
Build a project schedule directly from your estimate. Set predecessors, work calendars, and visualize the full project on a Gantt chart.
Templates
Save your best estimates as templates. Start every new bid from a proven foundation — not a blank page.
The Right Tool for the Right Team
TamCost was built by a heavy civil contractor who was tired of managing multi-million dollar bids in Excel. Enterprise tools like InEight and HCSS are powerful — but they're overcomplicated, expensive, and built for dedicated estimating teams.
TamCost keeps it simple. A clean, intuitive interface designed for estimators who need to build accurate bids fast — without the learning curve or the price tag.
