Cost-Based Estimating & Pricing Software for Contractors
BreakEven+™ helps contractors calculate real labor burden, overhead, G&A, break-even rates, profit targets, and FALIB® reporting before they bid.
Built for construction, public works, GovCon, industrial coatings, facility services, and labor-heavy contract work where pricing accuracy matters more than generic markup.
How You Build Accurate Estimates→
Built for construction estimating — from GCs to specialty trades across private and government work
Most estimates hide the costs that erase margin.
A job can look profitable on paper while labor burden, overhead, G&A, indirect costs, production assumptions, and pass-through items quietly reduce the margin.
Labor cost gets simplified too early
Crew mix, wage rules, burden, supervision, and productivity assumptions can change the real price floor before markup is ever applied.
Overhead and G&A get under-allocated
Contractors often recover field cost but miss the indirect cost structure the business actually needs to support the work.
Markup becomes a guess
Without a clear break-even rate, profit target, and cost base, bid pricing becomes a habit instead of a financial decision.
One pricing workflow from estimate to defensible sell rate.
BreakEven+™ connects estimating, pricing, and financial reality. Instead of treating cost, markup, reporting, and review as separate steps, the same model carries the number from input to output.
Contractors can calculate what the work must recover, compare assumptions, and submit bids with better visibility into margin, risk, and pricing strategy.
From cost truth to confident pricing.
BreakEven+™ gives contractors a repeatable way to turn real cost assumptions into pricing outputs before the bid goes out.
Enter real costs
Add labor, production rates, overhead, G&A, burden, pass-through items, and job assumptions using your actual operating structure.
See break-even
Understand the minimum price needed before profit, risk, contingency, and strategy are added to the bid.
Price with confidence
Build quotes, estimates, work orders, and reports that reflect the cost structure your business actually needs to recover.
Built for labor-heavy, margin-sensitive contract work.
BreakEven+ is broader than a simple estimate template. It helps contractors understand the economic model behind the price.
Labor Burden

- Scenario comparison before submission
Production Estimating
- Production-rate assumptions
- Quantity-based estimating
- Custom unit rates per item or CLIN
Pass-Through Support

Traceable Outputs
- Reviewable pricing logic
- Consistent assumptions
- FALIB® reporting structure
One pricing model from estimate to FALIB® report.
FALIB® reporting is Servvian’s structured view of how direct labor, burden, overhead, G&A, pass-through costs, profit, and allocation base choices roll up into a final break-even rate or sell rate.
BreakEven+ uses FALIB® reporting to help contractors review, defend, and repeat their pricing logic across estimates, proposals, work orders, and internal pricing reviews.
Direct Labor Base
- Useful for labor-driven pricing models
- Supports single-element base review
- Connects labor cost to sell rate
Total Cost Input
- Applies G&A over a broader cost base
- Supports full cost recovery visibility
- Useful for GovCon-style pricing review
Value-Added Base
- Separates pass-through treatment
- Clarifies fee and recovery logic
- Helps compare base selection outcomes
Built for contractors who cannot afford pricing guesswork.

What is BreakEven+?
BreakEven+™ by Servvian is cost-based estimating and pricing software for contractors. It helps teams calculate labor burden, overhead, G&A, indirect costs, break-even rates, profit targets, and FALIB® reporting before a bid is submitted.
BreakEven+ is built for construction, public works, GovCon, industrial coatings, facility services, specialty trades, and other labor-heavy contractors that need to understand what each job must sell for before it can support the business.
Questions contractors ask before changing pricing workflows.
These questions help buyers, Google, and AI engines understand what BreakEven+ does.
What is BreakEven+?
BreakEven+ is contractor estimating and pricing software from Servvian that helps calculate labor burden, overhead, G&A, break-even rates, profit targets, and FALIB® reporting before a bid is submitted.
Who uses BreakEven+?
BreakEven+ is built for contractors, public works teams, GovCon teams, industrial coating contractors, facility service providers, specialty trades, estimators, owners, and finance teams that need clearer pricing visibility.
What does BreakEven+ calculate?
BreakEven+ can calculate labor cost, burden, overhead, G&A, indirect costs, pass-through components, break-even rates, target profit, and final sell rates.
What is FALIB® reporting?
FALIB® reporting is Servvian’s structured reporting method for showing how labor, burden, overhead, G&A, pass-through costs, allocation base choices, and profit roll into a final break-even or sell rate.
Is BreakEven+ only for GovCon?
No. BreakEven+ supports GovCon pricing workflows, but it is also built for construction, public works, industrial coatings, specialty trades, and service contractors.
How is BreakEven+ different from a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet can calculate numbers, but BreakEven+ creates a repeatable pricing workflow that connects labor, burden, overhead, G&A, profit, break-even pricing, and reporting logic in one model.
Know your true job margin before you bid.
BreakEven+ helps contractors price work from real labor, overhead, burden, and profit targets — so every estimate starts with cost truth, not guesswork.
Most estimates hide the number that matters most.
A job can look profitable on paper while labor burden, overhead, indirect cost, and production assumptions quietly erase the margin.
Guessing labor cost
Production rates, crew mix, burden, and real labor cost often get simplified too early.
Missing overhead
G&A, indirect costs, supervision, mobilization, and support costs are easy to under-allocate.
Bidding without margin clarity
If break-even is unclear, markup becomes a guess instead of a pricing decision.
BreakEven+ connects estimating, pricing, and financial reality.
SERVVIAN helps you build estimates around real cost structure — not generic averages — so your bids show whether the work actually supports your business.
From estimate to defensible price.
A simple workflow for contractors who need to understand what each bid must recover.
Enter real costs
Add labor, production rates, overhead, G&A, burden, and job assumptions.
See break-even
Understand the minimum price needed before profit, risk, and strategy are added.
Price with confidence
Build a quote that reflects your true cost structure and target margin.
Designed for margin-sensitive work.
The job
Understand what the work really costs after labor, burden, overhead, G&A, and cost of money.
Break-even pricing
Know the price floor before adding profit, contingency, or strategic markup.
Production-rate estimating
Connect field productivity assumptions to pricing outcomes.
GovCon cost visibility
Support pricing conversations around G&A, indirect rates, and defensible cost structure.
Built for teams that cannot afford pricing guesswork.
General Contractors
Price labor-heavy work with clearer margin visibility.
Construction trades
Estimate jobs using your real operating costs.
Service contractors
Understand what every hour, crew, and job needs to recover.
GovCon teams
Connect estimating with indirect cost and G&A rate awareness.
Markup alone does not protect margin.
If your cost base is wrong, every markup decision is built on a weak foundation. BreakEven+ gives estimators, owners, and pricing teams a clearer view before the bid goes out.
Use BreakEven+ to answer:
“What does this job need to sell for before it actually supports the business?”
Stop bidding blind.
See how BreakEven+ helps contractors turn estimating assumptions into clearer pricing decisions, stronger margin visibility, and review-ready FALIB® reporting.
