Case Study: R.D. Johnson Excavating achieves faster, more accurate estimating and streamlined rebidding with B2W Estimate (B2W Software)

R.D. Johnson Excavating Able to Bid Larger Projects

R.D. Johnson Excavating Co., a Lawrence, Kansas contractor, had long relied on pencil-and-paper estimating. As project sizes grew and many jobs (utility and street work) repeated similar crews and procedures, the manual approach became slow, hard to maintain, and difficult to track.

The company adopted B2W Estimate, using crew templates and a centralized resource database to standardize repetitive bids, save historical costs, and streamline rebidding. The software sped up estimating for large projects, delivered clear ROI—highlighted by a $4.5M job where a simplified rebid kept them low—and, according to estimator Branden Boyd, is the most user-friendly package he’s used.
