Built for Property Renovation Professionals

🏗️ Property Developers

“Cost Manager replaced our spreadsheet-based cost tracking. Having BoQ, valuations, and variations in one system means nothing falls through the cracks on site.”

Steve H., Small Developer (5 projects/year)

📐 Quantity Surveyors

“The NRM1/NRM2 alignment is exactly what we need. We can produce RIBA-stage cost plans and BoQs that match industry standards without starting from scratch.”

Anna P., Chartered QS

🏠 Renovation Investors

“I use Cost Manager alongside Refurb Estimator for every flip. The interim valuations keep my builder payments on track, and the final account ensures I know my true costs.”

Chris M., Flip Investor

Common Questions

What is NRM1/NRM2?

NRM1 (New Rules of Measurement 1) covers cost planning and NRM2 covers detailed measurement for bills of quantities. Both are RICS standards used by quantity surveyors across the UK construction industry.

Do I need QS experience to use it?

No. Cost Manager is designed for property investors and developers, not just quantity surveyors. Templates and smart defaults guide you through the process. However, QS professionals will appreciate the NRM alignment.

How does it connect to Refurb Estimator?

Cost Manager includes the full Refurb Estimator engine. You can run estimates within a project context, then carry those figures through to BoQ, cost plan, and beyond.

Can I track multiple projects?

Yes. Each project has its own cost file with independent tracking through all eight modules. The dashboard gives you a portfolio view across all active projects.

Is this financial advice?

No. Cost Manager is a project cost tracking tool for informational purposes only. Always engage qualified professionals for formal cost management on construction projects.

What’s the refund policy?

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on subscriptions. If you’re not satisfied, contact support@hibba.co for a full refund.
