Where the process breaks
The estimate should survive contact with the production.
Turn revisions without losing the trail
Compare estimate versions and keep each assumption, comment, and client decision attached to the numbers it changed.
Stop rebuilding the job after award
Carry the approved structure straight into commitments, purchase orders, invoices, actuals, and the accounting handoff.
How Actual carries the job
Bid it once. Run it from the same structure.
Actual keeps the estimate, client decision, working budget, and final cost record in sequence so the production does not restart at every handoff.
Build the estimate
Start from AICP 2023, AICP 2019, or AICP Classic and compare versions without duplicating the job.
Issue the client view
Publish the intended detail and capture feedback against the exact version sent.
Run the awarded job
Track committed and actual costs against the structure the client approved.

What changes
The client gets a disciplined bid. Your team gets a budget that keeps working.
Keep the familiar commercial cost structure while removing the copy-and-reconcile work between bidding, production, and wrap.
- AICP-aligned bid versions remain comparable
- Client feedback stays tied to the issued version
- Awarded lines carry into commitments and actuals
Plans scale with the operation
Choose a plan for the workflow—not the budget format.
Start free for core bidding and budgets. Move to Pro or Studio when you need client approvals, Service Bids, custom roles, or accounting integration.
Actual for Commercial / AICP
See an AICP bid become a live production budget.
Bring a current estimate or an upcoming commercial. We’ll map the exact path from first version through award and wrap.
