Case Study: Collins Construction Company achieves faster, cloud-based estimating and improved office–field collaboration with ProEst

Collins Construction Company - Customer Case Study

Collins Construction Company, a 93-year-old general contracting firm in Fall River, Massachusetts, needed to replace decades-old spreadsheet estimating and improve connectivity between field and office as it scaled its commercial and pre‑engineered building work. Seeking a cloud-based solution that would integrate with Procore, Collins selected ProEst to modernize estimating, takeoffs and preconstruction workflows.

ProEst delivered a cloud estimating platform with integrated digital takeoffs, bid analysis and unlimited on‑demand training, enabling Collins’ 15 ProEst users to convert from spreadsheets within months. The change cut about eight hours per estimate — roughly 960 hours annually at their ~120 estimates a year — improved accuracy and office‑field collaboration, supported $1M average awarded projects, and helped position the company for its projected growth; Collins credits ProEst’s integration and training for the productivity gains.
