Case Study: Guido Construction cuts spec cross-referencing from days to minutes with Boon Agent

Guido Construction recovers 430+ estimator-days a year with Boon

Guido Construction, a mid-market general contractor, faced a significant challenge in its preconstruction process. The team, led by VP Ted Zimmerhanzel, was spending up to three days per bid manually cross-referencing specification books to find critical clauses, a time-consuming task that created a "quiet tax" on every project and introduced the risk of errors. To solve this, the company turned to the vendor Boon and implemented its Boon Agent product.

By deploying Boon Agent, Guido Construction automated its spec extraction and analysis. The solution could perform tasks like gap analysis and pre-qualification extraction in minutes, surfacing crucial information that provided leverage in negotiations. This resulted in massive time savings, recovering over 430 estimator-days per year. For Boon, this equated to nearly two full-time estimators worth of capacity, allowing the team to pursue more bids and sharpen their margins without adding staff.
