Case Study: Scull Construction Services Inc. achieves faster, more accurate, collaborative cloud estimating with ProEst

Fulfilling the Promise of Building Excellence

Scull Construction Services Inc., a Rapid City–based general contractor with about 100 employees and roughly $125M in annual revenue that produces ~185 estimates a year, needed a faster, standardized and more reliable estimating process to replace disparate Excel spreadsheets and to support remote collaboration and future integration with Procore/Foundation. To solve this, the company selected ProEst, moving from Excel to the ProEst desktop estimating system in 2014 and adopting the ProEst cloud platform in 2019.

ProEst delivered an automated, Excel‑familiar estimating solution and an evolving cloud platform with unlimited user access and real‑time collaboration. The change boosted estimating efficiency (one estimator can produce 10–20 estimates per month), reduced costly Excel errors and the need to recheck calculations, enabled multiple users to work on the same bid simultaneously, and provided remote flexibility—while ProEst’s responsiveness to Scull’s feedback accelerated useful product improvements and set the firm up for future Procore/Foundation integration.
