The Full Story
Fantastic Calculator emerged from recognizing the critical challenges within the construction industry—budget inaccuracies, elongated project timelines, and a general inaccessibility to efficient estimating tools. By harnessing advanced AI and proprietary algorithms, we've developed a platform that transforms the estimating process from concept phase onwards, making it precise, user-friendly, and adaptable across the board. We identified a key issue in early construction stages: without initial plans, estimating costs is fraught with uncertainty. The industry's reliance on historical data often leads to inaccuracies, as there's no clear framework to decipher what's included in those numbers, creating a bottleneck in pre-construction. Additionally, we noticed a lack of tools for crafting a construction budget during the feasibility phase without detailed designs. Most available cost management tools demand a preliminary budget, which is typically cobbled together using outdated methods like Excel, based on imprecise guesses. This method of cost forecasting is not only antiquated but unreliable. Our solution merges the strengths of both detailed analysis and succinct communication, employing advanced AI and unique algorithms. This approach simplifies cost estimating, making it more accurate, user-friendly, and adaptable for any project phase, effectively addressing pre-construction challenges.
Mission
Our mission is to continuously innovate and refine Fantastic Calculator, making construction estimating more accessible, efficient, and aligned with the evolving needs of our users. We're dedicated to removing the complexities of pre-construction planning, offering a platform that empowers users to scale their operations, engage in intuitive project planning, and align their work with real-time data and insights. Through technology and collaboration, we're committed to building a future where every construction project is set up for success from the very start.
