Tacmin.ai: Project & cost control intelligence

Smarter cost control. Stronger project outcomes.

Project & cost control intelligence

Driving structured cost control, project clarity, and confident decision-making.

Summary overview: Project & Cost Control Intelligence forms the commercial backbone of TacminMadini’s integrated delivery services. Delivered through Tacmin.ai, this service transforms tendered scope into a live execution control model that aligns cost, schedule, and forecasting into one structured framework. Tacmin.ai operates as the intelligence engine behind this process — establishing cost baselines from first principles, building logic-based schedules with achievable outputs, and maintaining commercial alignment through ongoing tracking and progress-based valuation. It enables project teams to manage complexity in real time, prevent overspending, and keep delivery performance in step with financial expectations. This approach provides the visibility, control, and accountability required to meet budget, protect margin, and deliver on time.

Cost baseline & resource optimisation

Laying the groundwork for budget integrity and delivery readiness

 

Using first-principles estimation, we develop activity-based unit rates that reflect practical production outputs and define the labour, equipment, and material inputs required for each BOQ item. Profit and overheads are excluded to establish a net “allowed cost” baseline — a commercially sound benchmark used to control spend and track performance. In parallel, we quantify total resource requirements across the scope and apply resource analysis to optimise usage, reduce waste, and ensure readiness. This ensures the cost model is aligned with real-world delivery inputs, enabling confident planning and early commercial control.

 

Customer Value:

 

  • Improves transparency for resource requirements and allocation processes
  • Reduces early-stage risk exposure through disciplined cost modelling
  • Ensures mobilisation is based on resource logic, not assumptions
  • Establishes a stable benchmark for all downstream cost tracking and claims

Why it matters: Without integrated cost and schedule control, projects face delivery drift, resource misalignment, and commercial exposure. Project & Cost Control Intelligence establishes a unified structure that connects planning with performance — enabling teams to track execution against verified progress, control budgets before they slip, and respond decisively to risks. It turns the tender into a practical delivery model and keeps it on course, ensuring that what was priced is what gets delivered — accurately, predictably, and profitably.
