Case Study: Commonwealth Electric Company achieves accurate, automated takeoffs and a smooth hangar build with On Center Software

A Major Aircraft Hangar Project has a Smooth Build Process due to Open Communication & Automation

Commonwealth Electric Company, a Midwest electrical contractor, was tasked with the 175,000-square-foot Duncan Aviation maintenance hangar but faced early-stage, incomplete plans and a tight, fast-tracked schedule. To improve estimating speed and accuracy they had already invested in automation tools, using the McCormick Estimating System and later adopting On Center Software’s On-Screen Takeoff® for digital takeoffs and estimating support.

Using On Center Software’s On-Screen Takeoff® alongside their McCormick system, Commonwealth produced a near-perfect preliminary estimate from simple plan sketches and historical data, identified fixtures at the 30% drawing stage, and printed takeoffs for progress meetings to guide duct bank and conduit rack work. The result was smooth communication, flawless implementation across two hangar structures and three two-story office buildings, and successful project management that kept the large build on track.
