4cost databases

The costing software solutions from 4cost include extensive databases that allow you to create reliable, accurate and time-saving price and cost calculations. By centralising all cost data, the 4cost costing software gives cost estimators quick access to the information they need and ensures consistency across all projects. In addition, all 4cost costing projects can be updated in seconds.

All the databases supplied can be customised and extended with your own data records. The 4cost databases and the customer database exist side by side. Meaning that the user himself decides which data source to use depending on the scenario.
