Case Study: CB Masonry achieves 4x estimating productivity and faster bidding with On Center Software's On-Screen Takeoff

An Innovative Hotel & Museum Project is Built with a High Level of Creativity using Value Engineering & Automation

CB Masonry, a family-owned commercial masonry contractor based in Little Rock with about 200 employees, faced the challenge of replacing manual takeoff and estimating processes to support complex, creative projects like the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville (a 9‑month, $800K decorative masonry and veneer scope). To improve estimating speed, accuracy, and their ability to provide rapid value-engineered alternatives, they turned to On Center Software and its On-Screen Takeoff® solution.

By deploying On-Screen Takeoff® from On Center Software, CB Masonry automated takeoffs and estimating, quadrupling estimating productivity so the team could bid more jobs in less time and improve its bid-to-win ratio. The automation also enabled fast, accurate value-engineering quotes and helped CB successfully deliver the intricate masonry work for the 21c Museum Hotel on budget and schedule, supporting the company’s high repeat-business rate.
