Case Study: Joeris General Contractors improves estimates and preconstruction collaboration with Autodesk Construction Cloud

How Joeris Improved Estimates with Cloud-based Model Conditioning

Joeris General Contractors, a Texas-based regional contractor serving commercial and institutional markets, needed a better way to support preconstruction collaboration, takeoffs, and estimating. The company faced resistance to new technology and struggled to get estimators, design teams, and leadership aligned around a cloud-based model-conditioning workflow. Autodesk Construction Cloud, using Assemble, provided the platform for that change.

Autodesk Construction Cloud helped Joeris implement Assemble for cloud-based model conditioning and connected quantification, with estimators leading the rollout and receiving ongoing one-on-one coaching. After piloting the process on a church education building and an elementary school prototype, Joeris improved design coordination, tracking, and quantity verification, and reported bid-day accuracy within 0.5% of its schematic estimate on one project. The firm also gained faster collaboration, better project understanding, and a repeatable process that made its estimating team more VDC-enabled.
