Methvin’s Advantage - Construction Is a Game of Margins
Stop Playing with Broken Data
In construction, the “truth” usually disappears the moment a contract is signed.
The estimate lives in a spreadsheet.
The schedule lives in a Gantt chart.
The actual costs live in an ERP.
By the time you realise they don’t match, the margin is already gone.
Methvin is the only Integrated Construction Environment that treats your project as a single, living mathematical model. From the first takeoff to the final invoice, the data never breaks, never loses context, and never needs to be re-entered.

The “Data Gap” Is Killing Your Profit
Most platforms claim to be end-to-end, but they are actually a collection of acquired tools stitched together. This creates silent failures:
- The Translation Tax — Re-keying estimate data into a scheduling tool creates manual errors
- The Visibility Lag — Waiting for month-end reports to discover labour overruns
- The Forensic Nightmare — Trying to justify a variation when the original rate build-up lives in a dead file
Methvin replaces integration with continuity.
One Model. Zero Handoffs.
We’ve collapsed the distance between the office and the field.
Here’s how Methvin protects your entire project lifecycle.
1. Estimating from First Principles
Don’t just plug numbers. Build them. Methvin’s engine allows unlimited nested resources — labor, plant, materials, and productivity rates—built with the complexity your project demands.
The result: When a material price spikes, you don’t just see a cost increase — you see the ripple effect across your entire enterprise.
2. Takeoff Is an Input — Not a File
Stop exporting PDFs just to import them into spreadsheets. Methvin’s browser-based takeoff tool pushes quantities directly into estimate items.
5D BIM Integration: Map costs directly to IFC models. If the design changes, your budget updates in real time.
3. The Estimate Is the Schedule
This is the Methvin breakthrough. Because your estimate already contains labour hours and resource logic, Methvin can automatically generate a resource-loaded Gantt chart.
No Rebuilding: Change a quantity in the estimate, and the duration of the task updates automatically.
4. Live Cost vs Allowable
Stop managing through the rear-view mirror. Methvin tracks committed and actual costs against your original allowable budget logic.
Early warning: You see deviations the moment they happen — not weeks later when accounting flags the issue.
Built for the Stakeholders Who Carry the Risk
| For the Estimator | For the Project Manager | For the CFO / Director |
|---|---|---|
| Defensibility. Build complex, audit-ready rates that stand up to any scrutiny. | Control. Manage variations and site progress without losing the original budget logic. | Certainty. Real-time visibility into margin erosion across the entire portfolio. |
The Methvin Edge: Old Way vs New Way
The Old Way: Disconnected silos. “I think we’re on budget.” Manual data entry. Reactive disputes.
The Methvin Way: A single source of truth. “I know the margin.” Automated data flow. Proactive claims.
Stop Estimating. Start Modeling.
Methvin isn’t just a tool — it’s a methodology for profitable delivery.
Whether you’re managing a $100k civil works project or a $1B Tier-1 infrastructure build, the logic remains the same:
