Case Study: Advanced Masonry Restoration achieves 30–40% faster, more accurate estimating with ProEst

How ProEst Helped AMR Honor the Past and Look to the Future

Advanced Masonry Restoration (AMR), a St. Paul–based, family-owned specialty contractor known for restoring historic façades, was hampered by spreadsheet-based estimating that caused calculation errors and repeated data entry. Seeking a more accurate, construction-specific solution, AMR President Tim Miller chose ProEst’s cloud-based estimating platform to improve efficiency, accuracy, and integration with back-end workflows.

ProEst delivered a customizable, integrated estimating database plus hands-on training, which AMR rolled out company-wide in 2010. The change produced immediate results: 30–40% faster estimating, reduced errors, easier adjustments and job costing visibility, and even a rebid that won a contract and effectively paid for the ProEst investment—supporting AMR’s workflow of 300+ annual estimates and roughly $15M in revenue.
