What is
Actually? it?
Actually is an easy-to-use online tool that calculates cost, carbon and building performance estimates, in real time. With Actually users can measure, report and actively make informed design choices for their building projects.
Simply upload the IFC files exported from CAD software, and choose the products that best fit your project's goals. Whether it's the environment, cost, or building performance, best practice means knowing the impacts of what we design and build. And, when we know better, we can do better.

access
real data.
Actually is powered by a series of complex behind-the-scenes carbon calculations, doing the hard work for you so you can focus on design.
Configured by leading carbon scientists, using up-to-date pricing information, Actually ensures you are using the most accurate figures for your project.
Real data in realtime
Better outcomes
Actually
get your
designs built.
Architects and architectural designers want their designs built. Clients want building projects that meet their budget. And, builders want to do the work. Help get projects across the line with realtime cost estimates available throughout the design process.
Better decisions
Actually
make smarter
choices
With Actually you can compare build materials side-by-side. Be it designing with budget in mind, or with the aim of lessening the environmental impact of a build, Actually empowers you to make informed design decisions, and smarter choices.
Not sure what ‘good’ looks like for a project like yours? Actually sets a baseline so you know the average cost and environmental impact for projects similar to yours.
Better for the planet
Actually
make a
difference.
To limit climate change, we need to reduce carbon emissions... FAST. Unfortunately, current building practice is part of the problem.
As well as cost estimates, Actually provides scientifically accurate carbon data for every project so designers, developers and homeowners can actively help the planet by working towards reducing our carbon emissions.
