Live Cost HUD

The cost moves while you model.

A persistent side panel pinned to your SketchUp window. Every Push/Pull, every component swap, every colour change — the total reflows in milliseconds. No re-run, no refresh, no Excel.

  • Margin lens. Switch the template and watch cost flip to customer-quote pricing, with margin in dollars and percent.
  • By-supplier & by-category bars. Spot the line that's blowing the budget at a glance.
  • Tax aware. GST, VAT or sales tax on or off, with ex- and inc-tax totals stacked.
  • Weight + line count. For transport, crane hire, and sanity checks.
  • Undo-safe. Hooks into SketchUp's transaction observer — Ctrl-Z rolls the HUD back with the geometry.
