Construction Cost Intelligence™
This layer is intended to keep hard-cost pressure visible early. It helps users see when construction assumptions are carrying too much optimism and how cost movement affects profit, margin, and land support.
Plain-English value
A beautiful design does not help if the cost stack destroys the margin.
SKS packages this into decision language so a user does not need to be an underwriter, planner, or civil engineer to understand why the site is strong, weak, overpriced, or worth deeper review.
What it helps answer
Hard cost bands
Frames realistic cost pressure before a design idea becomes emotionally locked in.
Escalation sensitivity
Shows how quickly a tight deal can move from caution to kill.
Decision connection
Cost is not isolated; it flows into profit, residual land value, and the final recommendation.
Workflow comparison
Less spreadsheet archaeology. More decision clarity.
