AI CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE.
Protect margin. Forecast with confidence. Stop the surprises.
Most contractors don't know until it's too late. Costify gives contractors and asset owners real time delivery intelligence, defensible forecasts, and early warnings. Our AI powered construction intelligence built on more than 20 years of field experience inside one of Australia's most respected civil contractors. 2,213 verified projects. $2.5 billion in delivered value.
The four problems eating Australian construction margins.
Knowledge walks out the door:
When a senior estimator or project manager retires, the lessons they carry leave with them. Every new project starts from scratch. Every old mistake gets repeated.
Spreadsheets are still running the job:
Most cost data lives in spreadsheets, emails and one person's head. By the time the monthly report lands, the variance has already happened.
Lessons learned, lessons forgotten:
Project debriefs sit in folders no one reads. The cost of repeating a mistake on the next job is paid in margin, not in a lessons learned register.
9 out of 10 megaprojects go over budget:
The numbers are not improving. Construction has the highest cost overrun rate of any major industry, and the gap between forecast and outcome keeps widening.Source: Flyvbjerg.
Costify gives Australian project teams the cost intelligence to spot these problems early and protect the margin.
What Costify actually does.
Costify turns 30 years of real construction project data into early risk signals, defensible forecasts and margin protection. Built by contractors. Designed to integrate with the systems you already run, not replace them.
- Real project data: 2,213 projects worth $2.48 billion in 2026 dollars, indexed and ready to benchmark against your next bid or claim.
- Lived experience: Costify is built by people who have run jobs, signed variations, and worn the consequences when forecasts went wrong.
- No rip and replace: Costify sits alongside your ERP, accounting, scheduling and document control. We do not ask you to throw out what is working.
From contractor IP to AI platform.
Costify is the modernised, AI-powered version of the ERP that ran inside VEC Civil Engineering for two decades.
VEC was founded in 1994 in Tasmania and grew into one of Australia's most respected civil contractors, delivering bridges, rail, roads and water infrastructure across multiple states. The software ran the commercial side of all of it. Tenders, costs, variations, claims, forecasts, lessons learned, captured project after project.
VEC was acquired by Downer EDI in October 2014. The software IP was retained by the founding team. We are now commercialising that heritage for every contractor and asset owner in the market.
The Costify Historic Database, 2,213 projects and $2.5 billion in delivered value indexed to 2026 dollars, is the actual operating record, indexed forward. Battle-tested in operating conditions before it was a product.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Exactly what we needed'
I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years and have never experienced a time like the one we’re living through now. The need for real time visibility into a project has never been so crucial. The insights Costify gives, quickly and easily, into exactly what’s happening across a project is incredible. This is exactly what we need right now in the industry, as the landscape changes so quickly from day to day.

"Changing the industry, for the better"
We have tried system after system and spreadsheet after spreadsheet, just to properly track the projects and our forecasts. We just couldn't get it right. With Costify we know exactly where each project is up to. Better yet, we know about project overruns well before they become a project overrun. Meaning we can quickly adapt the budget to recover costs before they become losses.
