Case Study
S. M. Wilson
The estimate comparison feature proves invaluable.
TL;DR
S.M. Wilson & Company implemented DESTINI Estimator to connect estimating data, reporting, version control, and cost analysis in a single workflow, helping teams communicate cost impacts earlier in design and keep budgets aligned as designs evolve.
Impact
- Design evolution connected directly to cost intelligence
- Cost impacts communicated more clearly to owners, architects, and contractors
- Budget challenges identified earlier in the design process
The Challenge
Preconstruction teams often struggle to communicate cost implications early enough in the design process to influence outcomes.
Traditional spreadsheets require substantial manual effort and offer limited visibility into design evolution and budget alignment.
S.M. Wilson wanted to create a more transparent and collaborative process.
The Solution
The company implemented DESTINI Estimator to connect estimating data, reporting, version control, and cost analysis into a single workflow.
Version comparisons, estimate tracking, and reporting tools enabled teams to communicate cost impacts earlier and more effectively.
The Results
S.M. Wilson connected design evolution directly to cost intelligence, enabling teams to identify budget challenges earlier, communicate cost impacts more clearly, and make proactive decisions that reduce the need for downstream value engineering.
Business Impact
By connecting design evolution directly to cost information, S.M. Wilson transformed estimating into a strategic decision-support function rather than simply a budgeting exercise.
