Case Study: HGC Construction achieves faster, more accurate estimating and one-click job setup with ProEst

HGC Construction - Customer Case Study

HGC Construction, a full‑service general contractor in Cincinnati producing roughly 200–250 estimates a year, needed a database‑driven estimating solution to replace paper processes and integrate with their Viewpoint construction software. They selected ProEst’s estimating and digital takeoff software to centralize estimating, standardize workflow, and enable automated job setup with Viewpoint.

ProEst implemented a SQL‑backed estimating system with built‑in digital takeoffs and direct integration to Viewpoint, enabling one‑click job setup and automated transfer of detailed cost breakdowns. The result: setup time on large jobs dropped from at least half a day to under an hour, manual data‑entry errors were eliminated, estimating became more consistent and accurate over time, and HGC benefited from faster proposals, better project management and responsive ProEst support.
