ZenixspaceThe pre-construction gap
Pre-Construction is where revenue is secured - and where margin can quietly disappear.
Most contractors are forced to manage progressive commercial decisions using software designed for a lump-sum estimate, or spreadsheets that become harder to govern as teams and projects grow. The result is a gap between what is promised, what is priced and what the business can safely deliver.
Margin pressure appears too late
Missing coverage, hidden risk and early concessions become expensive once the project is committed.
Leadership sees the number, not its strength
A headline position can look healthy while unresolved exposure sits beneath it.

Pre-ConstructionConstructionAccountingManagementClient-Side PMSalesBuilt from inside the industry
Created for the commercial gap the industry had not solved.
CostrixIQ was developed from global experience across accounting, construction management, pre-construction, client-side project management, sales and executive leadership.
It was created after seeing contractors repeatedly forced to choose between rigid lump-sum software and flexible but difficult-to-scale spreadsheets. The result is a specialist platform designed around the financial, client and governance needs of pre-construction.
