CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING · MEXICO

Construction estimating software for projects in Mexico

KOSAN brings a bill of quantities, unit price analyses, project scheduling, review tools and reports into one Windows desktop application. Build an estimate, check how each price is composed and prepare PDF or Excel documents for review.

The demo request, checkout and sample project pages linked here are in Spanish. Prices are in Mexican pesos. This English guide explains the product; it does not imply local tax or tender compliance outside Mexico.

From quantities to a reviewable estimate

  1. Organize the scope. Build chapters and line items with descriptions, units and quantities. Import supported Excel or CSV data and review the result.
  2. Build each unit price. Identify materials, labor, equipment, tools and auxiliary analyses. Check consumption factors, rates and units before applying them.
  3. Review the selling price. Examine direct costs and the applicable overhead, financing, profit and additional charges.
  4. Plan and deliver. Connect the estimate to scheduling and export documents to PDF or Excel.

See the output before choosing software

The sample construction estimate includes a 53-page PDF and a nine-sheet Excel workbook from the same anonymized project. It shows the document structure and presentation. Sensitive quantities and amounts have been removed; use the worked unit price example to check arithmetic separately.

Your project files stay on your computer

KOSAN runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. You can copy and back up your project data folder. Daily estimating work can run offline, but periodic license validation and KOSAN AI require an internet connection. Check the current system requirements before installing; this page does not promise native Mac or ARM support.

Labor costs for Mexican construction estimates

A daily wage is not necessarily the labor cost used in an estimate. The Mexican factor de salario real (FSR) accounts for the selected paid days, worked days and employer charges. Try the FSR calculator and detailed English explanation, and use the same assumptions when comparing its result with the application. Local payroll and project requirements still need review.

AI assistance with human review

KOSAN AI can explain project information and propose changes for review. Its availability and allowance depend on the purchased plan or add-on. Do not treat a generated price, quantity or assumption as an approved specification or supplier quotation.

What the demo lets you test

The demo opens a prepared project with its estimate, unit price analyses, schedule and simulation. Changes are reset when you close it; it is not a trial for saving your own projects. Requests are reviewed before the download link is sent. Request the demo or read the license terms and current prices in Spanish.

Before you move an existing estimate

Test one representative file first. Importing a table of quantities and prices is different from preserving complete analyses, formulas and linked resources. Check supported formats and review units, totals and report requirements before moving a live project.
