Case Study: DPR Construction achieves on-time, within-budget delivery with On Center Software

Establishing a Process Through All Stages of a Medical Center Project Results in Finishing on Time & Within Budget

DPR Construction, a top-50 general contractor with an active self-perform division, faced a fast-paced, complex scope on the Palomar Medical Center West project—20 miles of full‑height walls, more than 750,000 sq. ft. of surface, a six‑week ramp‑up to first clips, and hundreds of trades on site. To streamline estimating, eliminate redundancy, reduce errors, and share information across teams and locations, DPR deployed On Center Software solutions including On-Screen Takeoff®, Quick Bid, and Digital Production Control™.

On Center Software’s automation and takeoff/estimation tools gave DPR an electronic, graphical basis for quantities and production assumptions, enabling faster owner reconciliation, clearer trade collaboration, and floor‑by‑floor cost and tracking. By integrating field observations into the digital workflow and using On Center Software’s solutions to respond to changing critical paths, DPR managed the work confidently and delivered Palomar Medical Center West on time and within budget while improving schedule, cost control, and project visibility.
