ABOUT US
We're building the cost control platform we couldn't buy.
Commercial contractors run their projects on the gap between revenue and cost. Today that gap is reconciled in spreadsheets after the project is finished. tectm makes it live — at every level of aggregation, on every project.
OUR STORY
Where tectm began
Two brothers, one platform. Cam — QS with two decades of commercial experience across infrastructure and building, who's spent enough Sundays watching commercial teams rebuild margin in Excel to know the problem wasn't the people. Ollie — builds the software.
Every month was the same: contractors guessing accruals because dockets hadn't arrived, QSs reconciling claims against contracts that lived in PDFs, project managers telling the board cost was up but not where, variations approved on a handshake and disputed six months later when the paper trail couldn't back them up.
Existing software either did one piece and stopped (Payapps wraps a claim, Procore stores documents, Hammertech checks compliance) or tried to do everything from a generic ERP base and didn't understand a single construction contract. None of them connected the docket to the budget line to the margin number.
So we're building that. Project cost control, built on the contract — with the dockets, claims and variations as the evidence layer underneath.
WHAT WE'RE NOT
Not a project schedule
MS Project and Primavera already do that.
Not a document store
Procore already does that.
Not a compliance checklist
Hammertech already does that.
We do one thing: connect the contract to the docket to the margin number. Everything else is on the roadmap or off the table.
VALUES
What drives us
Cost control, not features
We measure ourselves on whether you know your margin live, not on shipping more buttons.
Evidence over assertion
Every dollar in tectm traces back to a docket, a clause, or an approval. No black boxes.
Practical AI
Tectus reads contracts and cites clauses. It doesn't volunteer financial or legal advice.
Come build it with us.
We're onboarding pilots now. The teams who come on early help shape what ships.
