Case Study: Black Cat Engineering & Construction achieves faster, more consistent cost estimates with Cleopatra Enterprise

How Black Cat achieved significantly faster and more consistent cost estimations with Cleopatra Enterprise

Black Cat Engineering and Construction, a firm specializing in oil and gas projects, faced challenges with slow, inconsistent cost estimations due to its reliance on decentralized Excel spreadsheets and a lack of standardized processes. To deliver faster bids without sacrificing quality, they turned to vendor Cleopatra and implemented its Cleopatra Enterprise Cost Estimating software.

By deploying Cleopatra's solution, Black Cat centralized its cost database and integrated it with the CESK dataset and scheduling tools like Primavera P6. This allowed them to create standardized templates and automate data handling. The results were significant, with Cleopatra enabling the company to produce detailed cost estimation reports in minutes instead of hours, drastically improving operational efficiency and bid throughput.
