Case Study: Stiles Corporation achieves better design cost control with Assemble Systems

Leading Real Estate Company Uses Assemble for Design Cost Control to Keep Project on Budget

Stiles Corporation, a full-service real estate developer and builder, faced major preconstruction challenges on Canvas Miami, a 37-story mixed-use high-rise in Miami, where the team needed faster, more accurate takeoffs and better control of design changes and budget risk. Using Assemble Systems with Revit during schematic design, Stiles moved away from manual 2D quantity takeoffs and began modeling key global quantities early to improve estimating and coordination.

Assemble Systems helped Stiles compare model versions quickly, spot a steel change that was driving a $1 million cost increase, and adjust the design before the budget went off track. The vendor’s platform also helped the team evaluate concrete strength and pour scheduling to keep the project aligned with the owner’s 24-month timeline, while delivering estimates for multiple design phases within a much shorter timeframe and with greater confidence in accuracy.
