Case Study: Pro Grind achieves faster, smarter estimating and streamlined workflows with ProEst

How ProEst Helped Pro Grind Work Faster, Better and Smarter

Pro Grind, a family-owned Melbourne contractor founded in 1997 that installs roughly 250,000 m² of mechanically polished concrete annually for clients like Woolworths and JB HI‑FI, needed a cloud-based estimating solution to scale growth, support remote work, and handle more complex bids after adding carpet and vinyl to its offerings. After using Viewpoint’s ProContractor, the company turned to ProEst’s cloud platform in 2018 to gain end-to-end integration, flexibility, and a more user-friendly preconstruction workflow.

ProEst delivered a web-based estimating platform integrated with ProCore that Pro Grind staff adopted rapidly — team members were comfortable within “about half-an-hour” and fully operational after two days of training. The solution eliminated double entry, empowered non-technical users, supported remote teams, and boosted estimating throughput: two full‑time estimators now project an average $1.5M of awarded project value per week, and the team produced 395 estimates worth more than $50M in nine months — tangible time and productivity gains credited to ProEst.
