      What is Chalkstring?

      Chalkstring is project cost management software. It enables you to manage all financial aspects of your project from estimating through to on-site commercials, such as managing procurement, variations, valuations and labour. 

      It's a cloud-based system which means you can access it from anywhere that you have an internet connection. 

      It is designed to help you improve control of your projects and costs to ultimately help you maximise margin. It also streamlines and standardizes processes across teams helping reduce duplication and increase efficiency. 

      The video below provides a short demonstration of the features of the application to give you a high-level introduction to the system.
