Case Study: M. A. Mortenson Company achieves faster, more accurate self-perform estimating and streamlined bidding with B2W Software

M.A. Mortenson Able to Enter New Markets with B2W

M. A. Mortenson Company, a national construction firm headquartered in Minneapolis with 11 regional offices, sought to expand from vertical commercial work into self-perform horizontal markets like civil, solar, wind and high-voltage transmission. As their estimating needs changed, existing systems couldn’t handle crew-based labor/equipment modeling, custom task templates or large-format bidding workflows, so Mortenson needed a specialized estimating solution to match its standards for accuracy and efficiency.

Mortenson implemented B2W Estimate in 2013 and rolled it out across Heavy Civil, Solar, Wind and High-Voltage groups. The software’s crew options, production-rate reporting, flexible task templates, and seamless Excel import/export (including direct upload to DOT Bid Express) centralized subcontractor/vendor input and sped up bid preparation. With responsive vendor support and user-conference learning, Mortenson achieved substantial time savings, improved bid accuracy and the estimating versatility needed to grow into new markets.
