Budget vs actual. Every project. No surprises.

GraceLumiq understands construction data - projects, phases, trades, budget, and schedule - and gives you instant variance analysis without a QS on standby.

Project managers, quantity surveyors, and construction company owners need to know which projects are over budget, which trades are costing the most, and where the schedule is slipping - before it becomes a problem. GraceLumiq does this from a simple CSV export.
