ARGO Cost-to-Build App Tutorial

Due to disruption to the industry and restrictions to physically meet with clients and consultants as a result of COVID-19, has led ARGO to create a Cost-to-Build calculator app to be used as a guide for those considering new projects across a number of sectors in the Caribbean and in the residential sector in Ireland, to assist with initial estimates of construction costs and professional fees.
