Project Cost Estimation

Project cost estimation software delivers faster, more accurate forecasts across every program

Project cost estimation defines the success of programs, yet manual methods often result in delays, overruns, and inconsistent results. Galorath’s SEER platform, powered by SEERai, provides AI for cost estimation that combines decades of validated modeling with AI-driven intelligence. Teams can estimate costs for hardware, software, and integrated systems in minutes, not weeks. The result is faster, consistent, and defensible estimates that improve confidence in funding decisions, scheduling, and risk planning across portfolios.

Defensible Cost Estimates

AI for building cost estimation improves accuracy, consistency, and executive confidence

Accurate project cost estimation is more than a budget exercise. It builds the foundation for funding approvals, resource planning, and contract negotiations. Galorath’s SEER platform, powered by SEERai, brings AI into cost estimation with structured, explainable models tied to decades of program data. Estimates are consistent, traceable, and defensible, giving leaders the confidence to commit resources and schedules. From early concept planning through execution, SEER with SEERai reduces uncertainty and drives better decisions across portfolios.

Why Cost Estimation Matters

Why AI for Project Cost Estimation Strengthens Every Project Decision

SEER with SEERai improves project cost estimation by delivering consistent, explainable, and data-driven forecasts.

Faster Estimates at Scale

AI cost estimation software delivers results in minutes, enabling teams to meet deadlines with reliable projections.

Consistency Across Programs

AI for cost estimation ensures repeatable processes that reduce human error and improve traceability in every estimate.

Defensible Forecasts

Leaders gain confidence with transparent, auditable estimates that support funding, bids, and negotiations.

Smarter Resource Allocation

AI for building cost estimation ties labor, material, and schedule data together for more efficient planning.

Early Risk Visibility

Estimates highlight cost and schedule risks upfront, giving teams time to mitigate before execution begins.

Cross-Functional Alignment

SEERai connects engineering, finance, and program leaders around a single cost estimation framework.

Confident Cost Planning

Improve accuracy and reduce risk in complex project portfolios

Project portfolios demand accurate, defensible cost estimates to keep schedules, resources, and budgets aligned. Traditional approaches often break down under complexity, leading to missed forecasts and rework. Galorath’s SEER platform, powered by SEERai, delivers AI for cost estimation that produces consistent outputs linked to historical data and validated models. Estimates are explainable, transparent, and auditable, helping leaders gain confidence when presenting to executives, regulators, and partners. The result is reduced risk and stronger, data-driven decision-making.

Estimation Across Domains

AI Cost Estimation Software Delivers Results for Software, Hardware, and Systems

AI cost estimation software forecasts costs for software, hardware, and systems. SEER with SEERai provides consistent, explainable estimates to align resources, surface risk, and speed decisions.

Software

Software projects face shifting requirements and scope creep. SEER with SEERai applies AI for cost estimation to size effort, align resources, and deliver defensible forecasts at every stage.

Hardware

Hardware programs demand precise cost and schedule control. SEER with SEERai uses validated models and AI cost estimation software to forecast production, materials, and sustainment costs.

Systems Engineering

Complex programs require integration across subsystems. SEERai enables AI for building cost estimation that connects engineering, risk, and resource data into one unified forecast.

Real Results with SEER Project Estimation

NASA Saves 75% Estimate Time with SEER Structured Cost Modeling

NASA applied SEER for the Mars Exploration Rover project to create its first project-level structured cost estimate. The team completed the work in one quarter of the time required by traditional methods while maintaining accuracy and traceability.

“The SEER tools are equally strong at estimating both software and hardware costs. When you use a parametric model like SEER, you reduce uncertainty by deconstructing the project into smaller, well-defined components, the cost estimate of which can be more readily critiqued by the technical and program management staff. SEER is easy [to use] and intuitive.”
