Ripa & Associates is an experienced and successful, privately owned civil
construction company located in Tampa, Florida. Established in 1998, the
company now has more than 450 employees and has completed more
than 1,500 earthwork, road building, infrastructure and utility projects
throughout the central part of the state ranging in size from $100,000 to
greater than $20 million.
Adrian Galloway began working in estimating in 2008 and was
managing the department early in 2009. As an HCSS Heavy Bid and
Hard Dollar user at previous companies, he was pleasantly surprised at
the easy transition he was able to make to Ripa's estimating software -

it easy to modify existing bids to fit the needs of our project managers."
Galloway says B2W estimate features - including the ability to quickly see
and modify cost, production, and other variables - are critical and regularly
help Ripa win jobs. "The software has very good reporting capabilities,
which allow us to pass information to our management and accounting
staff more quickly and efficiently," he adds.
Galloway has attended B2W Software annual User Conferences, where
he got a hands-on look at upcoming releases of B2W Estimate and other
