Learn from your best projects
Compare cost and performance across every project and see what makes the difference.
Matterial's company intelligence cross-references the data from all your projects —costs, productivity, schedules and variances— and lines them up in a single, shared language. Instead of looking at each project in isolation, you see company-wide patterns: which jobs perform best, which unit prices fall outside the norm, and what your most profitable projects do differently.
What problem it solves
Every project is run like an island: when it wraps up, its lessons are lost and the next one starts from scratch. Without a common baseline it is impossible to know whether a unit price is competitive, whether a productivity rate is normal, or whether a project's margin came from luck or method. Your company's experience lives in the heads of a few people, not in data you can actually query.
How it works
Every project, one shared language
Matterial normalizes line items, units and prices from each project so they are comparable to one another.
Compare and spot the pattern
Put projects side by side by cost, productivity and schedule, and see which ones sit above or below your company average.
See what your best jobs do differently
AI highlights the line items, prices and decisions that set your most profitable projects apart from the ones that ate the margin.
Apply it to your next estimate
Carry those benchmarks into your next bid so you estimate with your own company's real numbers.

Frequently asked questions
Is company intelligence available yet?
It is on the way. This is an upcoming feature in Matterial: while we roll it out, the platform is already gathering the data from your projects —estimates, costs and progress— that will feed these benchmarks, so you will be ready from day one.
What can I compare across my projects?
Cost, unit prices, productivity rates and schedules, normalized so the comparison stays fair across projects of different size or type.
Where does the data to compare come from?
From your own projects inside Matterial: estimates, actual costs and progress. These are not generic market averages —they are your company's real numbers.
Why does it help to know what my best projects do differently?
So you can repeat what works and estimate with your own benchmarks instead of gut feeling, raising the margin on new projects.
