Case Study: GarCo Inc. achieves 50% faster estimating and greater accuracy with On Center Software (On‑Screen Takeoff & Quick Bid)

Specialty Retail Jewelry Store Built Using a Ring of Automation Solutions to Ensure Accuracy & Efficiency

Garco Inc., a Baton Rouge-based commercial drywall and framing contractor with about 30 employees, was hired to perform exterior and interior work for Jared® The Galleria of Jewelry. Facing an increasing number of projects and a competitive market, Garco Inc. found manual takeoff and bid processes were slowing estimating and risking accuracy. To address this, they implemented On Center Software’s On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid solutions.

On Center Software’s tools automated Garco Inc.’s quantitative measurement and estimating workflows, giving precise material counts and clearer labor visibility. The vendor’s solution delivered immediate value: estimating time was reduced by 50%, material waste and costs fell, and Garco Inc. could bid more jobs with a higher bid/win ratio—contributing to the successful $200,000, 8-month Jared project.
