Connect your project history to the way you estimate today.

Your team has years of valuable project history. Eos Cortex turns it into trusted, decision ready intelligence built for preconstruction, then connects it directly to the platform where your estimates take shape.

Through the partnership between Eos Group and Beck Technology, general contractors pair DESTINI Cloud, the connected platform that brings preconstruction together in one place, with Eos Cortex, the purpose-built home for your historical cost analytics, connected through an API as one family of tools.

The Challenge

Your project history is one of your most valuable assets, once you can put it to work.

For most preconstruction teams, the cost intelligence built over years is hard to reach and harder to trust. It is scattered, inconsistent, and easy to lose.

Cost history is scattered across spreadsheets, legacy systems, PDFs, accounting exports, and individual estimator files.

Without normalization and context, comparing one project to another is difficult to do with confidence.

Estimates vary by estimator, region, project type, or business unit because there is no shared standard.

Conceptual budgets get rebuilt from scratch instead of drawing on relevant past work.

Good project intelligence leaves when experienced estimators retire or move on.

The Partnership Advantage

One connected preconstruction ecosystem.

DESTINI Cloud is the system of record for preconstruction: the authoritative home for your cost data across the project lifecycle. A system of record creates the most value when its data extends to the specialized tools built around it, rather than staying boxed in one place.

That is exactly where Eos Cortex fits. Beck Technology designs DESTINI as a connected ecosystem, with the platform at the center and partner tools around it that add depth in areas a general estimating platform should not try to own. Cortex is that depth for historical cost analytics, connected to DESTINI through the API so the two operate as one family of tools.

Estimate and project data flows from DESTINI into Cortex for benchmarking and analysis, and structured guidance flows back into DESTINI, so your team gains dedicated historical analytics without creating a second version of the truth.

Connected Ecosystem Cost Analytics

What Eos Cortex Brings

Cortex extends DESTINI Cloud where it counts for historical data: deep, purpose-built analytics that a general estimating platform is not designed to provide. Three things set it apart:

  • Purpose built for preconstruction historical analytics. Cortex is optimized for the AEC and owner preconstruction market, not adapted from a general reporting tool. Import data from any system, normalize for time, location, currency, etc., track the attributes and metrics that matter, attach supporting documents so every comparison carries its context, and surface comparable projects quickly with predictive analytics. Carve out portfolios to study subsets of your history in isolation.
  • Tailored by your precon team, not IT. Cortex puts your preconstruction team in control. Configure the metrics, views, comparisons, and reports you need yourself, without waiting on database administrators, business intelligence specialists, or IT. The people who know the estimates shape the system around how they actually work.
  • Conceptual estimating at any scale. Build a conceptual budget for a single building, or assemble a complex, multi-use program budget from the best elements of multiple reference projects, then generate and compare iterations and options side by side. Send the conceptual budget to DESTINI to mature it into a detailed estimate.

Because Cortex connects to DESTINI Cloud through an API, all of this lives inside the same connected preconstruction workflow, not separate silos.

What This Means for General Contractors

  • Faster conceptual estimating.

    Start from relevant precedent. Predictive similarity and reference projects support feasibility budgets, early owner conversations, and design phase decisions.

  • More defensible owner conversations.

    When an owner asks why the number changed, your team can point to normalized benchmarks, supporting documents, and clear assumptions.

  • More consistent estimating across teams.

    One trusted standard means teams across offices, regions, and estimators search, compare, and budget the same way from a shared historical project data library.

  • Knowledge that stays with the company.

    Your historical intelligence lives in a system built to hold it, rather than in old files, hard drives, or individual memory.

  • Depth without a disconnect.

    Cortex delivers dedicated historical analytics, and the API connection keeps it part of the same preconstruction workflow rather than an isolated data set to manage.

  • Foundational data for AI.

    Cortex provides a curated, cleansed, and validated source of historical project data that's ideal to train AI and predictive analytics tools, using MCP connectivity.

Recommended Use Cases

Conceptual estimating Conceptual estimating

Build early budgets, from a single building to a multi-use program, using relevant historical projects, portfolios, and cost models.

Benchmarking with context Benchmarking with context

Compare current work against your project history, with normalization and supporting documents that make the comparison defensible.

Portfolio analysis Portfolio analysis

Carve out subsets of your history for isolated study, sharing, and side by side comparison.

Owner presentations Owner presentations

Support cost narratives with documented, normalized, and structured project history.

Standardization Standardization

Give teams one trusted standard to develop, optimize, and defend estimates against.

Knowledge retention Knowledge retention

Preserve institutional estimating knowledge before it disappears into spreadsheets or individual experience.
