The Challenge
A key challenge in the preconstruction estimating process is determining how to effectively leverage new tools to improve accuracy and consistency in project estimates. Cam Delahoussaye and the team faced this challenge head-on, exploring the potential benefits of integrating innovative technology into their workflow. They aimed to refine their approach, ensuring estimates were not only precise but also consistent across projects. This was a crucial step in building client trust and securing successful outcomes.
The Solution
Over the past year, Eleven Western Builders, under the leadership of Chief Estimator Cam Delahoussaye, has undergone a significant transformation in their preconstruction operations by adopting Beck Technology's DESTINI Estimator. Known for its cloud-enabled takeoff and estimating capabilities, the platform has given the company a competitive edge in refining their internal processes and decision-making strategies.
The impetus for integrating DESTINI Estimator came from a compelling demonstration by another contractor within their peer group. One standout feature has been the robust cost database, which plays a crucial role in standardizing cost estimates across projects and ensures reliability and precision.
The Results
DESTINI Estimator has promoted collaboration among team members by breaking down silos within the estimating process. This collaborative environment has helped elevate team productivity and improve communication throughout the department.
The software's data-driven approach empowers Cam's team to make smarter decisions tailored specifically to each project's needs, a clear example of how technology can revolutionize traditional construction workflows.
Cam said, "We've seen firsthand how DESTINI Estimator promotes collaboration within our team by breaking down silos in the estimating process. This collaborative approach has significantly improved our productivity and strengthened communication across the entire preconstruction department."
