Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve got your questions covered. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for below, feel free to contact us.

Bauwise is for owners responsible for governing construction CAPEX across multiple projects, including real estate asset owners, owner-operators, developers, investment managers, and funds. The software supports consistent control, reporting, and auditability across portfolios involving multiple contractors, advisors, and delivery stages.

Yes, Bauwise supports cost tracking and reporting across multiple construction funds and portfolios. It allows owners to aggregate and filter project cost data at fund, portfolio, project, and stage level using a consistent reporting structure to track committed spend, contingency usage, cost-to-complete, and forecast outturn.

No, Bauwise does not replace Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, or Monitoring Surveyors. It provides a centralized cost management platform used by owners and their advisors to manage, allocate, track, and report construction costs. This ensures that contract values, variations or compensation events, commitments, and valuations are recorded consistently, remain traceable to formal instructions and assessments, and are comparable across projects regardless of which advisor is appointed.

Bauwise preserves approved cost structures, approvals, and audit history within the platform, independent of individual advisors or project team members. When teams change:

  • Approved budgets, committed spend, contract values, and contingency reallocations remain intact
  • Historical variations, compensation events, and valuations remain traceable to formal instructions and assessments
  • The rationale, approval basis, and status of cost changes are retained

This prevents loss of cost context and reduces rework, allowing owners and advisors to continue cost governance and reporting without disruption.

Additionally, auditors and monitoring surveyors can trace cost positions directly within the platform without relying on spreadsheets or manual reconciliation.
