Case Study: Tonn and Blank Construction achieves owner-empowered decision-making and accurate budgets with Beck Technology

Tonn and Blank Construction - Customer Case Study

Tonn and Blank Construction, a Midwest general contractor founded in 1922, faced a common preconstruction challenge: their traditional 10‑page, black‑and‑white estimates left owners unable to visualize scope or make informed choices. For a healthcare project with three high‑level options (demolish, sell, or renovate), competing contractor bids produced guesswork rather than clarity, so Tonn and Blank turned to Beck Technology’s DProfiler to create a clear, visual scope, program, and budget presentation for the owner.

Using Beck Technology’s DProfiler, Tonn and Blank built an interactive workflow—moving from 2D drawings to a DProfiler model and estimate, then into a Revit model—so the owner could view alternatives, adjust square‑footage allocations, and see immediate cost impacts. The result: the owner could compare options side‑by‑side and explore “what‑if” scenarios, Tonn and Blank was positioned as a trusted advisor, and the team replaced uncertain bids with a transparent decision‑making platform that tied scope directly to budget.
