DESTINI Estimator Is Newest Estimating Software in 12 Years

DALLAS - April 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Beck Technology, Ltd. announces the release of DESTINI Estimator, the first software product created separately from its flagship Macro level Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, DProfiler. DESTINI Estimator is considered to be the next generation in estimating software and can be used in conjunction with DProfiler or as a standalone project tool.

DESTINI Estimator stems from ideas generated by Sundt Construction in collaboration with Beck Technology’s Research & Development department.  “Because of the familiarity we had with our previous applications we were able to pick and choose what we wanted,” said Donald Goodrich, Vice President and Director of Preconstruction of Sundt Construction.  “We wanted the ease of use of Excel as well as the same reports that we generate from DProfiler.  From a management perspective, I am looking for the database application.  DESTINI Estimator reduces inadvertent mistakes.”

A high level list of features of DESTINI Estimator 2015 1.0 are:

·         Innovative custom reporting with no limits that can be created by an estimator

·         Ability to compare an unlimited number of estimates

·         Able to merge multiple estimates into one

·         Intuitive, flexible, and interactive custom reports

·         Innovative customizable estimate comparison

·         Live interactive dashboards

·         Simple and easy to use

·         Seamless transition from DProfiler that includes model intelligence

·         Unlimited number of classifications can be assigned to cost items

·         Unlimited amount of data such as planning, location, and images can be associated with cost items

·         Unlimited WBS, sorting, filtering

·         Customizable fees and indirects

·         Quick and flexible cost escalation & de-escalation

·         Fast import of cost data

·         Innovative estimate specific assemblies

“This is the first estimating platform of this magnitude the A/E/C industry has seen in 12 years,” said Michael Boren, Director of Research & Development at Beck Technology.  “Many of the estimating softwares on the market are burdensome and weighted down with functionality that the industry either does not use or does not need.  DESTINI Estimator was created to be agile for our evolving industry.”

Beck Technology is offering DESTINI Estimator on a monthly subscription basis that includes maintenance and support.
