You have plenty of choices when it comes to construction estimating software, but don’t you want to pick the best? Though they share similarities, estimators that switch from Trimble WinEst to Beck Technology DESTINI Estimator reap the benefits of a fully integrated cost estimating tool that makes the necessity of having multiple tools and spending time exporting data a thing of the past.
After 25 years of developing innovative tools for preconstruction estimators, Beck Technology knows how well Excel does some tasks when creating a construction estimate and how difficult it can be for estimators to find the time to learn new software. Because we come from the construction industry, we know the nuances of how things work and one of those is sticking to the way we’ve always done things.
However, new trends and technology have created more efficient ways of doing our jobs and have improved the construction industry. General contractors embracing these changes experience better relationships with owners, retain their best talent, and deliver projects on time and within budget.
In one aspect, WinEst makes a good estimating tool for estimators who want a better estimating platform than Excel because the switch may appear seamless, as its software is based on spreadsheets; however, when you delve deeper, tasks are still tedious.
