Template-based
Structured XLSX import
Use a defined spreadsheet format when your budget is already organized and ready to validate.
Budget Import Feature
Turn existing construction budgets into structured workspaces
Bring in your existing budget files without rebuilding the structure manually before the project starts.
Presuo helps you import existing budgets with confidence by showing progress, checking the result, and protecting your current budget until everything is ready.
Multiple import paths
Different inputs, one structured result
Budget files often come from different sources and in different formats. Presuo helps you import them and turns them into a structured budget you can continue using throughout the project.
Direct PDF
Standard PDF import
Extract sections, line items, quantities, units, and prices from Presto or DPGF PDF budgets without retyping them.
AI-assisted
AI-assisted PDF extraction
Presuo will leverage AI extraction on complex PDF files and still return a structured result for review.
Extraction progress
Follow the import as Presuo extracts the budget
Presuo shows import progress as the file is processed, so teams can see what is happening, follow the current extraction state, and review the result with more confidence.

Validation before replace-all import
Review imported data before replacing the current budget
Import should reduce friction, not create cleanup work. Presuo validates the extracted data before applying changes so teams can review issues without losing the budget they already have.
Review extracted structure before replacement happens.
Resolve currency, VAT, or document inconsistencies when needed.
Keep the existing budget intact when extraction or validation fails.
Reuse previously extracted results for identical PDFs where applicable.
What import enables next
Continue with the same budget through the rest of the workflow
Imported work sections and budget items do not stop at setup. The resulting structure becomes the basis for intelligence, collaboration, execution tracking, and progress certificates.
- Understand where cost is concentrated and what changed.
- Collaborate with architects, owners, and constructors directly on the imported budget.
- Track actual quantities against the original plan without rebuilding the project story.
- Prepare certificates from the same structured budget instead of separate files.
