“DProfiler is the future of conceptual estimating. This is a ‘napkin-sketch-level’ estimating program that allows us to begin with little more than an owner’s ideas and the square footage of the project and we build from there, answering all the ‘what if’ questions to see how they affect cost and fit within the budget. The program provides not only a detailed estimate to the owner, but also a 3-D model of something that maybe they couldn’t picture before. A huge advantage of the program is that it enables a project team to make intelligent design decisions before any investment has been made in design. We can set design parameters, which the owner can carry forward into design. This ensures that the project comes in under budget, and it also eliminates re-design. When we’re done, the owner can go to their architect and know what they can afford and what their building looks like.”

“DProfiler is an extremely user friendly tool. I was surprised at how easy it was to create accurate models given the wide range of information I can extract. It is more flexible and more powerful than I expected.”

“DProfiler has provided us a tool to use especially with the changing dynamics of this economy and in the design-build process. With clients increasingly needing to know the overall impact of costs for a project to line up feasibility and financing, DProfiler is giving us another valuable way to work with prospective clients to help educate, develop and build their projects.”

“DProfiler™ has become a tremendous added value service that we have been providing to our AEC clients for the past year and a half. With Beck Technology’s industry and technical expertise, we have saved many government projects from the brink of "Cancellation due to Budget Issues."”

“As a planning tool, DProfiler delivers! This powerful software solution will make the process of order of magnitude estimating obsolete.
Dprofiler's intuitive drawing tools enable even the computer novice to generate smart design models that address aesthetic and financial properties
of a potential project in real time. DProfiler combines the power of computer-aided 3D modeling with the intelligence of a room full of cost
estimators and business planners into one, easy to use, software solution.”

“DProfiler™ is the industry’s premier pre-construction tool. By combining DProfiler’s strengths in the earliest stages of design with Satterfield & Pontikes’ downstream capabilities, S&P is able to provide even more complete and accurate pre-construction packages.”

"I have been amazed at how quickly the DProfiler team has helped with ideas, when a client asks us to solve a cost estimating problem. This is superior customer service that you do not get from other application software. To quickly switch from building materials and assembly helps the client to be confident to decide on a future design project. We really believe that DProfiler will open new markets areas for us and give us an edge on the competition."

“Cox Schepp Construction has focused a significant amount of resources in the conceptual estimating process for years. DProfiler with the energy analysis module was the first tool we discovered that helped us automate, visualize and estimate conceptual projects along with the ongoing operating cost of the finished building. The energy analysis module has enabled our LEED department to analyze life cycle cost in more detail and at an earlier stage of the project.”

“DProfiler wasn’t just created to reduce time and costs, but also to drive informed design from the beginning. From a Developer’s perspective, DProfiler can help you make pertinent decisions upfront that can result in a go or no-go decision, or drastically increase or decrease profitability. In a recent feasibility study in Ft. Worth, we had a project that was questionable, due to the high price of land. We used DProfiler to model different building sizes, shapes, and construction methods to determine
1) if any project would be profitable, and
2) what size and type of project would be most profitable.
By quickly working multiple scenarios, we were able to find a solution that met everyone’s needs and is a financially viable project. Had we taken the traditional path of designing and then costing, our architects concept schemes actually would have proved to be too expensive and would have killed the deal.”
