Concurrent · Autonomous Cost Engineering

Autonomous cost engineering.

Large firms estimate the same work a hundred different ways — siloed spreadsheets, stale national averages, and senior estimators' know-how that walks out the door. Concurrent unifies it. Autonomous agents build every line item, every assembly, every office into one living model that gets sharper with every project you bid.

The fragmentation problem

Your estimating data is everywhere except in one place.

  • Costs live in incompatible silos. Bid tabs, vendor quotes, POs, and ERP exports — no canonical unit, no shared source of truth.
  • Assemblies are frozen national averages. Reference tables get adjusted by a synthetic regional multiplier that masks whether real local cost signal even exists.
  • Proprietary method is tribal. Each office and senior estimator carries assembly logic, markup, and risk rules that never roll up — and leave when they do.
  • Effort is duplicated across every office. The same assemblies get rebuilt from scratch, thousands of hours a year, with margin discipline varying by individual.
Estimating accuracy shouldn't depend on which office bid the job — or which estimator happened to build it.
Concurrent makes the firm's best estimating the firm's standard estimating, everywhere, on every bid.
The architecture

Three layers, one living model.

Concurrent isn't three tools bolted together. It's a layered stack that resolves upward into a single firm cost model — every figure tracing back to a real, observed unit cost.

aAtomic

Unit line items — the ground truth

Labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs normalized to a canonical unit, classified, versioned, and provenance-tagged. Every downstream number stands on real observed cost, not an estimate of an estimate.

Localized · escalated · traceable
bAssemblies

Native assemblies — composed live, not looked up

An assembly is a parameterized aggregation of your atomic line items, composed on demand and recomposed whenever the underlying costs change. Because the inputs are yours and current, the assembly beats any frozen national-average table — and carries full traceability back to every constituent line.

Live composition · self-healing
cMethod

Proprietary methods — your competitive logic, captured

Firm- and estimator-specific assembly logic, parametric models, and markup/risk rules get codified into a queryable, reusable library — the highest-value, hardest-to-replicate asset in the firm. Tribal knowledge becomes institutional knowledge.

Memory is the moat
How it works

Three feeds. One model.

Concurrent draws on live market signal, your own history, and the systems you already run — and unifies all three into the atomic layer everything else is built on.

Live market pricing, matched to your region

Pull in current market cost signal mapped to where you actually build. Region accuracy comes from observed local data — not a synthetic index applied after the fact.

Your first-party project data, for context

Incorporate cost history from your previous projects so every estimate is grounded in how your firm actually builds — your crews, your productivity, your real outcomes.

Integrated with the systems you run

Connect to your existing ERP, project management, and accounting software to synchronize cost data across your stack — no rip-and-replace, no parallel data entry.

Synthetic data

No synthetic adjustments.

Legacy estimating couldn't observe real local costs — so it scaled a national baseline by a regional fudge factor. When your atomic layer already carries true local signal, a multiplier on top would double-count and degrade accuracy. Location adjustment stops being a step and becomes a property of the data. Where a market's data is thin, Concurrent borrows the nearest comparable market's real cost — and flags exactly where, so the assumption is on the face of the estimate, never hidden.

Built on true agency

The six-component framework, applied to cost.

Concurrent isn't an assistive tool that waits for prompts. It's an agentic system that pursues an outcome — a unified, defensible cost model — and persists until it's achieved or escalates to you.

Goals

Normalize every cost to a canonical unit; compose superior live assemblies; codify the firm's proprietary methods — with 100% traceability.

Environment

Your atomic cost library, ERP / PM / accounting systems, vendor quotes, and market signal — no external index tables.

Tools

Read from your systems and OCR scanned quotes. Write classifications, compose assemblies, and push estimates to your bid stack.

Planning

Decide taxonomy, reconcile conflicting costs, and judge when a market has enough native data to compose — or when to borrow a comparable one.

Action

Compose and recompose autonomously; escalate to a human estimator when data is too thin or a method needs validating.

Memory

The atomic library, the assembly logic, and the proprietary method library compound over time. Every bid makes the next one sharper.
