Case Study
Gcon
The transition was smooth and intuitive.
TL;DR
GCON Inc. replaced disconnected spreadsheets with DESTINI Estimator and DESTINI Hub+, centralizing project and cost data and adding Power BI reporting for greater visibility into costs and trends, with a transition that was smoother than expected.
Impact
- Centralized project and cost data that is easier to access, manage, and analyze
- Move from disconnected Excel-driven processes to a unified preconstruction environment
- Integrated Power BI reporting that adds visibility into costs and trends
The Challenge
Like many growing contractors, GCON Inc. relied heavily on spreadsheets and disconnected estimating processes. Information lived in multiple locations, reporting required manual effort, and access to historical data was often fragmented.
As projects increased in complexity, the team needed a more connected approach that could improve consistency while providing better visibility into project costs and estimating data.
Why Change Was Necessary
The organization recognized that estimating software should do more than produce numbers.
They wanted a platform that could:
- Connect estimating workflows
- Centralize project and cost information
- Improve reporting capabilities
- Support future growth
- Create a stronger foundation for data-driven decision making
The shift represented an opportunity to modernize how preconstruction information was managed across the business.
The Solution
GCON adopted DESTINI Estimator and DESTINI Hub+ to create a more integrated preconstruction environment.
Rather than relying on disconnected spreadsheets, the team gained access to centralized project information, modern reporting tools, and integrated cost analytics.
The addition of Power BI reporting capabilities enabled greater visibility into project data while helping estimators make more confident decisions.
The Results
GCON transformed disconnected, spreadsheet-driven estimating into a centralized preconstruction environment, giving teams easier access to project and cost data, greater visibility through integrated reporting, and a more consistent foundation for confident decision-making and future growth.
Looking Ahead
GCON continues expanding the use of DESTINI as they build richer cost intelligence and additional conceptual estimating capabilities. The organization views connected data and standardized workflows as critical components of long-term preconstruction success.
