Case Study: Pomerleau achieves faster, more accurate estimating and more bid wins with B2W Software

Pomerleau Realizes the Benefits of Centralized Data

Pomerleau is a major Canadian heavy-civil and commercial construction firm with roughly 1,000 employees that needed a more robust estimating and bidding system to keep projects on schedule and on budget. In 2005 the company sought a solution to standardize estimating across its Heavy Civil division and handle complex, variable projects—illustrated by a Montreal bridge job with challenging underwater soils, large caissons and steep rock abutments.

Pomerleau implemented B2W Estimate to centralize resources, use reusable task/item templates and standardize bidding processes; the software was reportedly easy to learn and integrate. The tool improved project analysis and decision-making (leading Pomerleau to self-perform foundation work and win the bridge contract), increased estimating efficiency and consistency across the enterprise, and has been supported by responsive 24/7 technical service and ongoing product enhancements.
