3 Reasons why precon teams choose DESTINI Cloud

Built-in 2D & 3D takeoff

Built-in 2D & 3D takeoff

Streamline takeoff with AI. Auto-map floor plans and drawings. Identify objects and materials. Take measurements. Generate quantities. Review, approve, and push numbers into estimates.



Sage Estimating has no built-in takeoff features. It requires paid add-ons for similar capabilities.

Connected data and context

Connected data and context

Carry over project context and historical cost data across every step of preconstruction. See what actions are taken and why. Streamline handoff. Produce better work and improve outcomes.

Sage Estimating has basic cost tracking features, but offers no additional insights. Context is lost between steps. Teams manually review projects every time.

Flexible integrations

Flexible integrations

Integrate with Autodesk, Join, Power BI, Procore, and Eos Cortex using premade connectors. Or customize your own via API. Bring your entire preconstruction workflow together.

Sage’s integrations are mostly within the Sage ecosystem. Connectors to third-party apps are limited.
