Unlocking the Power of DESTINI Cloud APIs

Chances are that your construction team knows the frustration of juggling disconnected spreadsheets, outdated estimates, and siloed data. It slows construction projects down, and decisions are made with incomplete information. Thanks to modern technology, there’s a better way. It’s precisely the type of problems that DESTINI Estimator and DESTINI Cloud APIs were built to solve. By connecting people and information through APIs, your teams can streamline workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and move projects forward with confidence.

Welcome to the world of construction KPIs (or Key Performance Indicators), a toolbox for building smarter from the very first step.

A Shared Environment That Connects Teams

DESTINI Cloud takes that vision even further with its shared user environment and open architecture. Your team can access and use their own data for a wide range of purposes to drive smarter decisions. When everyone is working on the same project at the same time, silos disappear, and efficiency goes way up. This results in a centralized repository of project information that you can truly leverage.

Envision dashboards connecting preconstruction to operations. Imagine financial or pursuit dashboards delivering instant insights. These capabilities transform workflows and create measurable value for both individuals and the organization.

Why DESTINI Cloud APIs Matter

Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, are not particularly new. But modern cloud APIs like those in DESTINI Cloud are the latest evolution – relying on what is known as RESTful APIs to guide how systems interface and the interactions between systems and users. They are designed to balance access, security, and performance. They allow for near real-time data connections without slowing down the tools your teams rely on.

DESTINI Cloud APIs were built from the ground up with intention. They are designed to be safe, reliable, and scalable. The guiding principle behind DESTINI Cloud APIs is this: if a user can perform a function in the interface, there should be an API that can do the same thing. As the API library expands, more capabilities will become available with this purpose in mind.

Security That Protects Without Slowing You Down

For your company, security is never an afterthought. We understand that. Features like single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) protect both users and company data. Safeguards like these are designed to keep information safe while still supporting productivity.

API security is no less critical. Pulling data into Microsoft Power BI or Excel without the right safeguards could put sensitive files at risk. DESTINI Cloud ensures that every API call meets strict security standards so your teams can work with confidence and focus on the job at hand.

Performance That Stays Strong

Another core design principle of DESTINI Cloud APIs is making sure that API usage never impacts platform performance. The architecture separates access from runtime, so users enjoy the same fast, reliable experience no matter how many API calls are running.

That commitment to performance is already being noticed:

“We’ve seen steady progress in DESTINI Cloud, and it’s clear the team is listening. The biggest improvement we’re noticing is around performance — startup and versioning are already feeling smoother, which makes day-to-day work faster,” shared Jim Kurth, Senior Director of Estimating, Ryan Company. “Formula functionality has been restored, and it’s great to see that kind of responsiveness to user feedback. Being able to close estimates without creating new versions and seeing continued enhancements to QTO are also big wins for our workflow. It feels like the platform is maturing in all the right ways.”

Built to Empower, Protect, and Perform

In short, DESTINI Cloud APIs are designed to:

• Empower innovation by giving teams direct, secure access to their data
• Protect sensitive information with enterprise‑grade safeguards
• Perform at scale without compromising user experience

By combining openness with security and performance, DESTINI Cloud APIs help construction companies work smarter, save time, and build with confidence.

Reach for the Cloud

Cloud-based construction estimating software is a shift in how preconstruction teams work. By centralizing data, enabling real-time collaboration, and supporting smarter project management, these platforms help teams deliver more accurate estimates faster.

Whether you’re building a hospital, a high-rise, or a retail space, the ability to move quickly and confidently during preconstruction can make all the difference. And with cloud-based tools, that confidence is just a login away.
