Case Study: W. Webber Construction achieves faster, more accurate estimating with HCSS HeavyBid

W. Webber Construction cuts estimating time in half with HCSS HeavyBid

W. Webber Construction's Utilities Division faced challenges in estimating complex water treatment plant projects without a robust historical bid database. Estimators were spending over four weeks per bid, relying on spreadsheets that risked formula corruption and lacked standardization. They turned to HCSS and its HeavyBid estimating software to bring more accuracy and efficiency to their process.

HCSS's HeavyBid solution allowed the team to build master estimates and reusable activity libraries to compensate for the lack of historical data. The software enabled quick, traceable last-minute bid adjustments and the ability to seamlessly integrate costs from other internal divisions still using spreadsheets. Using HCSS's tools cut estimating time in half, provided greater confidence in cost accuracy, and created essential documentation for bid changes.
