ROI Calculator
The math on better field data.
Independent reconciliation of contractor LEMs, daily tickets, and inspector reports recovers a meaningful share of T&M and Target Priced spend. Adjust the scenario below to model your own numbers.
Illustrative only. Figures depend on project controls maturity, contractor behaviour, and contract type. Baseline reconciliation labor assumed at $25K/mo per $100M TIC (~2 dedicated cost-control FTEs). Overbilling recovery applies only to the T&M or Target Priced portion of spend.
Methodology
How the numbers work
Overbilling Recovery
Applied only to the T&M or Target Priced portion of your contract mix. Third-party audits of time-and-material pipeline contracts routinely identify 3–8% in recoverable charges — duplicate equipment hours, incorrect rate tables, uncaptured standby offsets, and phantom crew time. Default assumes the conservative end of that range.
Reconciliation Labor Savings
A mid-sized pipeline typically runs 2 dedicated cost-control or admin FTEs reconciling LEMs against inspector tickets. Pipe-Up's 4-panel variance workflow compresses that effort by auto-flagging line-item mismatches. Savings shown reflect reduction against the project-scaled baseline of $25K per month per $100M TIC.
Dispute & Claim Prevention
The single largest owner exposure on a construction project is a contested progress claim or change order at closeout. Independent field measurement with a time-stamped audit trail materially reduces both the likelihood and the defensible size of such claims. The default figure represents 0.5% of total installed cost — a modest estimate for most projects.
