The main difficulty in this particular example was soil conditions - including underwater soil consolidation, caissons up to 3 meters in diameter, 50-meter-long caissons on one end, and an abutment directly on a very steep-angle rock surface on the other end. "We used the comparison method in B2W Estimate and were able to understand that this was the key to this part of the job," Beaujault explains. "We decided to do the foundation work ourselves, and won the job because of this decision." Partnership Pomerleau appreciates access to B2W Software's 24/7 technical support, although Beaujault admits that, thanks to reliability and ease of use, there has not been much demand in this area. "The B2W staff is very good," he says. "They're available, friendly and competent. We always get through in less than two minutes, and our questions are always addressed quickly and efficiently." As a long-time user, Beaujault also values the ongoing B2W commitment to product enhancement and to keeping the software current with advances in technology. He and his colleagues have recommended new features and improvements based on their practical experiences and they have been pleased with the responsiveness of the B2W team to their requests.
