TRIPLE B SERVICES
B2W ESTIMATE DATABASE AND INTEGRATION
ADVANTAGES PAY BIG DIVIDENDS FOR DOT,
EARTHWORK AND UTILITY PROJECTS
"B2W Estimate has paid for itself numerous times over," according to
Jonathan O'Dell, estimator at Triple B Services. The software allows his team
to focus more of their time on estimating, which in turn has provided more
projects to generate revenue.
Triple B is a leading earthwork, highway and utility contractor in southeast
Texas. More than 380 employees and 33 crews generate approximately
$80 million in annual revenue, primarily through city, county and Texas
Department of Transportation projects.
The Triple B team transitioned away from Excel when estimating with
spreadsheets was slowing the growing company down. DOT integration and
the ability to export easily to the Viewpoint Vista accounting program and
Oracle Primavera project management software were also big pluses. The
company now has seven B2W Estimate users building 10 - 13 estimates per
week. In addition, the B2W software has improved reporting capabilities,
allowing Triple B to provide detailed cost breakdowns to the field and project
managers.
"The DOT integration features built in to B2W Estimate provide a critical time
saving advantage," according to O'Dell. With specific state DOT cost items
already in the software, the estimating team at Triple B can prepopulate them
and then pull the information into estimates, as required. They also download
the bid forms, transfer the data from Estimate, and upload the formatted bid
with literally a few clicks of the mouse.
