Stakeholders

Who Uses RateForge

Hear how homeowners, builders, QS professionals and lenders each benefit from the same governed estimate context.

"I can finally review our construction costs without needing a QS on the phone to explain every number. I see which version changed, what was overridden and exactly what our accuracy band is."

Homeowner Residential builder client, Gauteng

"We used to manage estimates in five different Excel files. Now there's one governed record that our QS, the bank and the client all see. Version history has saved us from two disputes already."

Thabo Nkosi Director, Nkosi Construction

"As a QS I can inspect every calculation rule, rate snapshot and override. I know exactly which version the client approved and can reproduce any historic figure without relying on anyone's memory."

Role Breakdown

Tailored for Every Participant

Each role gets exactly the access and view it needs — no more, no less.

Homeowners

Review estimate versions, understand cost movements and compare confidence bands without needing internal pricing administration access.

Builders

Create projects, submit estimation inputs and collaborate on the delivery path using a governed pricing record with full version history.

Quantity Surveyors

Inspect rules, line items and adjustment layers to review whether the estimate is technically defensible and consistent with regional norms.

Lenders & Audit Teams

Assess approvals, override justifications and estimate history with an immutable version trail that keeps the complete historical context permanently intact.

Confidence improves when context is shared, not copied into separate spreadsheets.

RateForge keeps every stakeholder anchored to the same estimate version, assumptions and audit events.
