Case Study: Retana Contractors achieves accurate, competitive bids and successful Phase I completion with On Center Software

Multi-Phase Retail & Residential Facility Makes Room for Automation Solutions, Resulting in a Successful Phase I Completion

Retana Contractors, LLC, a family‑owned painting and drywall contractor based in Frederick, Maryland, was awarded the BLVD | Loudoun Station, Phase I project in Ashburn, VA — a complex, multi‑phase retail and residential development comprising 357 apartment units and 62,000 sq ft. To meet the challenge of producing precise material, cost, and labor estimates for competitive bids and on‑time delivery, Retana Contractors adopted On Center Software’s On‑Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid to automate and standardize their takeoff and estimating workflow.

By implementing On Center Software’s On‑Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid, Retana Contractors delivered detailed, accurate written proposals based on precise quantities, costs, and labor, driving consistency and reliability across the project. The solution supported the successful completion of Phase I (an 11‑month, $2.039M contract), improved Retana Contractors’ competitive positioning, and put them in strong contention for the next two phases of the Loudoun Station development.
