Every cement price you paid. Every mason rate you negotiated. Every subcontractor quote — won or lost. That data is your firm's greatest asset. BossGiddy CostGuard turns your project history into cost intelligence your competitors cannot buy.
Let our work do the talking. Real projects, real results.

Send us a recent BOQ or a list of 10 key materials. We'll run it through our Tender Analysis engine and email you a 1-page report showing: (1) Current market variance for each item, (2) 6-month price trend, and (3) Which items are most volatile. No sales call. Just data.
Most tools give you someone else's data. CostGuard gives you your own data — and the market's data — side by side.
Every contractor, QS firm, or developer that subscribes gets a completely private workspace. You enter your own rates, log your own projects, track your own subcontractors, build your own BOQ library. This data belongs to your firm — no one else sees it.
On top of your private database, every subscriber gets access to BossGiddy's master rate database — updated directly by our team across major Nigerian markets. This is the macro intelligence layer that gives your firm's data context.
Every week you don't record is another week of cost intelligence lost forever. The firms that bid confidently aren't guessing — they're using 12 months of their own project data.
Your cost data lives in old notebooks, WhatsApp chats, and the memory of people who may no longer work for you. Every completed project loses its intelligence.
You know exactly what blockwork costs your firm per m², which suppliers deliver below quote, and how inflation has moved across your project portfolio.
You bid confidently. You protect your margin. You build a firm that wins — because every bid is backed by verified data from your own completed projects.
Whether you sign the cheque, run the estimates, or are just starting your career — CostGuard gives you the edge.
"We've done 20 projects and I still can't tell you exactly why some made money and some didn't." CostGuard ends that. You'll know exactly what every trade element costs your firm — and why.
"Every new project I start from scratch. No reference. No baseline." CostGuard becomes your personal cost intelligence system — built from your own project history.
"I'm producing BOQs with textbook rates that don't reflect reality." Real data. Real tools. The edge over your peers that no classroom gives you.
From a single-day trial to a full-year subscription — start your cost registry on your terms. Every plan includes instant access via subscription code.
Card payments processed securely via Flutterwave. Bank transfer available (2–4 hr manual activation). All plans renew automatically unless cancelled.
"Before CostGuard, every new BOQ was a guessing game. Now I pull up what we actually paid for RC Grade 25 on our last three Abuja projects in seconds. It's made me genuinely faster and more accurate."
"The rate alert for TMT bars saved us on a ₦340M contract. We saw the spike 3 weeks before our supplier called us. We locked in purchase orders at the old rate. That single alert paid for a year of CostGuard."
"I'm a final-year QS student. My BOQs now use real Abuja market data, not rates from a 2019 textbook. My supervisor was genuinely impressed. The daily plan meant I could try it before committing to a full month."
Every week you wait is another project's cost data gone forever. The firms that start this month will have 12 months of intelligence by next January. The ones that wait will still be starting from scratch.
