CASE STUDY
LYNDON JONES CONSTRUCTION
Lyndon Jones Construction, a general contractor in Salt Lake City,
Utah, specializes in underground utilities, roadway excavation, pipeline
installation, sewer and storm drains, and concrete work. The capability and
reputation of the organization has granted Lyndon Jones Construction the
invitation to bid on projects with prequalifi cation requirements. Although
they are considered a small business, Lyndon Jones Construction is known
for completing large heavy highway and excavating projects, and was
awarded the UDOT Small Contractor of the Year in 2009.
Challenges
In the past, the company had been using simple spreadsheets to handle
their estimating process, and had even hired programmers to develop their
own software. However, after seeing the ease of use and effi ciency of
B2W Estimate, especially in facilitating prequalifi cation bids, making the
switch was a no-brainer, says estimator Paul Ellis.
Solutions
• "My favorite part about B2W Estimate is how quickly we can adjust the
prices at the end of the bid—so quickly that we can hurry and enter the
estimate with minutes to spare and not have to panic."
• "B2W Estimate saves us time and money by allowing us to input tasks
and items once, without having to routinely input them for every new
estimate. It really helps keep our time down."
• "One of the reports we fi nd useful is the material detail report—
knowing what our material costs are, where our materials are coming
from, and where our materials stand in relation to our previous bids
allows us to project what our materials should be on our next bid."
