Budget Check

Make the Next Project Smarter.

When the next budget arrives, Bivvit applies what it has learned from your completed projects. This is not a generic market estimate. It compares the proposed budget with your own verified history.

Budget Check

Before starting the next project, Bivvit reviews the proposed budget using what has been learned from previous projects and the records you provide.

Start with your completed projects when you can: Analyze a Project — Free — the Free Project Snapshot is free.

Send What Supports This Decision.

Start with the proposed or current construction budget. Add relevant loan or financing records, current project cost information, supporting spreadsheets or PDFs, or previous completed-project information when it would make the comparison stronger. Not every item is mandatory.

Your history stays yours. Only send what is needed for the analysis you want.

How the Findings Are Organized

Looks Good
Assumptions that line up with what the records from your recent completed projects support.
Check This
Assumptions worth another look before the budget is locked, with the question to ask.
Watch the Downside
Items that could materially affect cost, timing, cash, carry or profit if they move against you.

What the Report Can Include

Depending on the documents available, the Budget Check can cover:

Detailed hard-cost line items
Historical cost/SF comparisons
Soft costs
Contingency
Financing and carrying costs
Construction and sellout timing
Cash / equity where supported
Projected sales and profit
Downside sensitivities
Specific questions and actions before budget lock

Cost/SF uses finished residential square footage unless otherwise stated. Garage, decks, common areas, or gross building area are not silently mixed into comparisons.

Example

What a Flag Looks Like.

Proposed framing budget: $82 / SF
Your recent completed projects: $91 / SF
Difference: −$9 / SF
Possible gap: About $74,000

Framing is budgeted below the framing cost recorded on your recent comparable projects. The records establish the difference, not its cause. Confirm whether scope, a firm bid, a different framing package or another project-specific factor explains it before the budget is locked.

Illustrative data

How we handle cause

Bivvit separates what the records show from what they don't. A cost variance can show that something changed; it does not always show why. Where the cause requires builder or project-team input, we ask rather than guess.

Bivvit flags what looks off. It does not guarantee cost, build time, sales or profit. A Budget Check is a review, not lender approval, and it does not certify a financial outcome. Where a source document is missing, we say what we could not evaluate instead of guessing.

Anything specific you want Bivvit to check? (optional)

We’ll review the files first. If something important isn’t clear, we’ll ask before the analysis begins.

Only send what is needed for the analysis you want. Adding information should unlock a specific benefit — not simply give Bivvit more data.

Private by default · Builder controlled

Your project information isn’t shared with lenders or other builders without your permission.

When the Job Is Done, Send It Back.

Send us the final job cost report and closing information. We'll add the actual project result to your Bivvit history at no charge.

That means the next Budget Check can use what actually happened on this job.
