ecustos is an online estimating software product for construction cost engineering in Brazil, positioned as βbuilt by cost engineers for cost engineers.β It focuses on improving the efficiency of preparing construction budgets through a unified interface, helping users complete bid quotations, renovation estimates, and project feasibility estimates more quickly.
The product is centered on construction cost databases and the budgeting workflow. It supports searching SINAPI compositions by project phase, so users can find suitable composition items even if they do not know the exact service description. On the database side, it covers SINAPI, DNIT/SICRO 3, Orse, and eng.custos, and also allows users to create their own material and composition libraries. After a budget is completed, users can export multiple types of Excel reports with one click, including consolidated summaries, labor/equipment/material breakdowns, analytical budgets, and service ABC curves. PRO com IA further provides parametric AI budgeting based on the CUB 12.721 standard, which can be used for quick estimates for houses, buildings, warehouses, and commercial properties.
The page lists three annual billing plans: Anual SINAPI at 12x R$59,90/month or R$718,80/year; Anual PRO at 12x R$69,90/month or R$838,80/year; and Anual PRO com IA at 12x R$79,90/month or R$958,80/year. Each plan shows 1 year of access and includes a 7-day trial or guarantee. Higher-tier plans add more databases, AI budgeting, budget CRM, and project-specific BDI differentiation.
Its strengths are a clearly defined vertical use case, especially for Brazilβs construction cost-estimating system; broad database coverage; one-click Excel reports that are practical for engineering deliverables; and support for custom libraries, which improves flexibility. The main limitations are that the website copy does not explain multi-user collaboration, role-based permissions, APIs, third-party integrations, data security, or compliance capabilities. If it is being considered as an enterprise system, service levels, data backups, and permission management would need further confirmation.
It is best suited to local Brazilian cost engineers, builders, renovation companies, and developers for bid quotations, construction budgets, and early-stage feasibility studies. For Chinese users, databases such as SINAPI, DNIT, and Orse differ significantly from Chinaβs quota-based costing systems, so it is unlikely to directly replace local tools such as Glodon, Luban, or Pinming. Access status from mainland China is not indicated in the text, and both network availability and payment support would need to be tested in practice.
