Historical Cost Intelligence

Your past projects ready for the next estimate

Zebel turns historical estimates and completed project data into structured cost intelligence your team can use for new work. Find and compare past costs, quantities, project details, and actuals to put your own cost history to work on every new estimate

Integrated with Procore

Actual costs from Procore Financials can be brought into Zebel alongside historical estimate data, giving estimators a clearer record of estimated versus completed project costs

Side-by-side project comparison

Historical projects can be compared across costs, quantities, project characteristics, and other relevant variables. Similar work stays easy to reference as a new estimate develops.

Your historical data, structured for estimating

Existing estimates, completed project data, spreadsheets, and drawings become the foundation of the database. Zebel handles data cleanup, quantity takeoffs, and database setup so historical project information is organized for future estimating.

Unit Cost History

Look up what your own projects paid for specific cost items. Compare recent unit costs across projects and see how pricing has changed over time.

Historical costs in market context

Internal project history provides one point of reference. Zebel's anonymized market data adds another, making it possible to compare historical performance with cost patterns from similar projects and markets.

Historical data your team can actually use

Past project data becomes more valuable when estimators can find it, compare it, and apply it to current work. Zebel keeps that information structured and available throughout preconstruction

Historical estimates, completed project costs, and market data provide useful reference points for new work without relying on disconnected spreadsheets or individual project files.

Faster estimate turnaround

Relevant historical projects and cost data are available without searching through old spreadsheets and files.

Consistent cost data

Standardized historical information provides a consistent basis for comparing projects and developing new estimates.

Project-specific structure

Historical data can be organized around your project types, cost structures, and estimating workflows.

Historical + market context

Internal project history can be viewed alongside anonymized market data for additional cost context.

Shared estimating knowledge

Project history stays accessible across the estimating team instead of living with individual estimators or in disconnected files.

Less manual data handling

Structured cost data reduces the need to search, reorganize, and transfer information between spreadsheets when developing new estimates.

Past project data, ready for future work

Zebel turns historical estimates, completed projects, and actual costs into a cost database your estimating team can reference as new opportunities move through preconstruction.
