Case Study: Blue Mountain Mechanical achieves twice-as-fast, more accurate estimating and a jump from 10% to 25% win rate with Trimble

Blue Mountain Mechanical Leverages A Model-Based Estimating Workflow For Major Growth

Blue Mountain Mechanical, a plumbing services and construction firm in Parker, Colorado, faced the common MEP challenges of scarce skilled labor, tight margins, supply-chain disruption, and regulatory complexity that make profitable, on-time delivery difficult. Founder Matt Burke needed a way to remove estimating guesswork so bids could be faster, more competitive, and more accurate.

Blue Mountain adopted a model-based estimating workflow using Trimble SysQue in Revit integrated with Estimation MEP to build LOD 400, manufacturer-specific BIM models that feed real-time pricing and parameters into estimates. The team now estimates about twice as fast (projects that took 3–5 days now take 1–2) with greater confidence, can deliver fabrication-ready models, and has increased its bid win rate from 10% to 25%, creating more profitable work and a reputational boost.
