Case Study: Balfour Beatty standardizes estimating across offices with Beck Technology's DESTINI Estimator

Balfour Beatty standardizes estimating across 11 tools with Beck Technology

Balfour Beatty, a top-ranked global general contractor, faced challenges with standardization across its numerous offices. Its preconstruction teams were using 11 different tools, leading to inconsistent estimating processes and a lack of a single source of truth. This inconsistency made collaboration difficult and slowed down client updates. To address this, Balfour Beatty turned to Beck Technology and implemented its DESTINI Estimator software.

Beck Technology's DESTINI Estimator provided a standardized database and established SOPs, ensuring all estimates were uniform. The solution enabled team estimating, allowing multiple users to collaborate simultaneously. This standardization allowed Balfour Beatty to effectively utilize historical cost data, improve training for junior estimators, and produce more accurate reports for clients much faster. The result was increased internal efficiency, quicker client updates, and a stronger focus on value engineering.
