Budget a project
the way you'll build it.

Scaffold your property room by room, then get back a complete, all-in FF&E budget and schedule. Every line is priced by machine learning trained on decades of real GS Associates project data. Quick to build, thorough on the other side.

How it works

Quick to build. Thorough on the other side.

A real FF&E budget usually means weeks in a spreadsheet, or a number on the back of an envelope. Kira Budgeting replaces both. You scaffold the property in a sitting, and it returns the kind of itemized, all-in budget that normally takes a procurement team weeks to assemble.

01 Scaffold

Lay out your property, space by space.

Walk through the project the way it is built: guestrooms and suites, public areas, food and beverage, back of house. Set quantities and a quality tier as you go, and the whole property takes shape. It is guided and quick, and it is hard to leave a room out.

02 Price

Let the model cost every line.

Behind each line, a machine-learning model trained on decades of real GS Associates purchasing predicts a cost, item by item and tier by tier. Not a round-number placeholder, and not a black box: every estimate is anchored to the closest real projects we have actually bought.

03 Deliver

Get a thorough, all-in budget and schedule.

Out comes a complete, itemized budget with freight, tax, and warehousing and installation included, plus a time budget beside it so you see the real schedule too. Boardroom-ready, and ready to carry into procurement.

The engine

Machine learning, grounded in what we actually paid.

Most budgeting tools are spreadsheets with your guesses in them. Kira Budgeting is a model. Its pricing is trained on decades of real GS Associates purchasing across more than 600 projects, so it has seen what a five-star casegood, a COM lounge chair, or a stone vanity actually costs at each quality tier.

It prices yours against its closest real comparables and tells you how firm the number is. Powerful, and never a black box.

The output

A budget that leaves nothing out.

The scaffolding is quick. What comes back is not. Every space is itemized, every cost is all-in, and a schedule sits right beside the money, so you can take the whole picture to ownership with confidence.

  • Every area itemized, from guestrooms to back of house
  • Realistic unit costs at your chosen quality tier
  • Freight, tax, and warehouse and install, included
  • A time budget: real lead times, phase by phase
  • A defensible range on every estimate
  • One export that flows straight into Kira

Time planned like money. Each commodity carries its own procurement clock.

Illustrative. Every figure is modeled from your project's closest real comparables.

One continuous platform

From the first estimate to the final install.

Kira Budgeting is not a spreadsheet you leave behind. When the project goes live, the budget becomes the backbone of the buy inside Kira, so there is one continuous record from the first number to the last delivery.
