DESTINI Cloud Architecture

Built for the cloud. Designed for preconstruction.

DESTINI Cloud is a cloud-based SaaS platform built on Microsoft Azure, with centralized application services, shared project information, governed access, APIs and analytics.

Its primary estimating experience is a purpose-built Windows application designed for the information-dense, multi-monitor workflows used by professional preconstruction teams.

The client is the workspace. The cloud is the connected platform behind it.

Cloud architecture is more than browser access

A browser is one way to access cloud software. It does not define the architecture behind it.

Evaluating enterprise preconstruction technology requires looking beneath the interface:

Where does authoritative data reside?

Where do application services operate?

How is information shared and governed?

How do users collaborate against current information?

How can data connect to the rest of the enterprise?

DESTINI Cloud was designed around centralized cloud services and authoritative cloud data while providing the user experience best suited to each workflow.

A cloud platform built around preconstruction work

Cloud Application Services

Microsoft Azure services connect user experiences to shared platform capabilities.

Centralized System of Record

Authoritative project information resides in the cloud rather than independent local project databases.

Connected Access

REST APIs and cloud communication services support governed access, integration and connected workflows.

Analytics Foundation

Microsoft Fabric, OneLake and Power BI provide paths for reporting, analytics and organizational learning.

Why use a purpose-built Windows experience?

Because detailed preconstruction work is different from many conventional business applications.

Estimators work across estimates, drawings, quantities, assemblies, specifications, bids, assumptions and analytics, frequently using multiple monitors and configurable workspaces.

DESTINI Cloud therefore separates platform architecture from user-interface delivery.

Shared services, governed data and the system of record live in the cloud. The interface is selected according to the needs of the workflow.

From connected data to a preconstruction system of record

The bigger benefit of the architecture is continuity.

DESTINI Cloud is designed to preserve relationships across documents, drawings, quantities, estimates, assumptions, bids, decisions and history as information moves through preconstruction.

That creates a trusted preconstruction record capable of answering questions beyond “What was the estimate?” It can preserve:

What did we know?

What did we assume?

What changed?

What did the market tell us?

What did we decide, and why?

Designed to connect with your enterprise

DESTINI Cloud is not intended to replace ERP, project-management systems or enterprise BI platforms.

It serves as the preconstruction system of record and provides governed ways for information to move into the broader technology ecosystem through REST APIs, Microsoft Fabric and OneLake, Power BI, and supported integrations.
