Estimating intelligence your team can build on.

ZULU guides organization owners through an initial setup process where they can define project types, standard costs, estimating rules, and other information that reflects how their team works. That context becomes part of the estimating environment, reducing how much institutional knowledge an estimator has to carry entirely in their head.

ZULU includes an Admin Panel where organization administrators can maintain project types, standard costs, estimating rules, users, and other organization-specific settings. This gives teams a central place to maintain estimating standards instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets, individual habits, or tribal knowledge.

ZULU can still use the project scope and available context to build a starting framework for the estimate. Users can review, correct, and expand that framework while the organization continues adding standard costs, rules, project types, and other knowledge it wants to standardize.

When important scope details are missing, ZULU can ask clarifying questions before generating the estimate. Users can provide what they know and document assumptions for what remains uncertain, making gaps visible instead of quietly burying them inside the estimate.

Yes. Estimate chat has context including cost items, margin, contingency, totals, and risk notes. You can use it to review assumptions, explore cost drivers, and better understand the estimate without reconstructing its context manually. For now, chat is for analysis and discussion rather than directly changing the estimate.

The user does. ZULU can interpret scope, suggest cost items, surface risks, ask clarifying questions, and provide a starting estimate, but users retain authority to review, edit, add, remove, and approve the information in the estimate. Organization standards provide structure, ZULU provides intelligence, and the estimator makes the final decisions.

You can revise an existing estimate instead of starting over. ZULU uses the current estimate as context and focuses changes on the parts affected by the updated scope, helping teams respond to change without unnecessarily rebuilding valid portions of the estimate.

ZULU is organized around your company rather than an individual estimator. Estimates remain part of the organization’s project history while ZULU records who created or edited the work. This helps estimating knowledge stay with the organization instead of becoming dependent on one person’s account, spreadsheet, or process.

ZULU keeps the estimate, its revisions, and its project context together so team members work from a shared estimating history rather than disconnected copies. Earlier revisions remain available for reference, reducing version confusion and helping teams understand how and why an estimate evolved.
