Challenge	M. A. Mortenson Company, a national leader in vertical commercial construction, was looking to expand into the self-perform horizontal markets, particularly civil work.

Solution	The company implemented B2W Estimate in 2013 to support their expansion into the self-perform horizontal markets. The software allowed them to set up crew options that included both labor and equipment and report overall crew production rates as well as individual man-hour production rates. The ability to import and export to and from Excel and other programs was also vital. For example, for a large DOT highway and bridge project with more than 500 bid items, they were able to export from B2W to Excel and then upload directly to the DOT Bid Express program with no file conversions or added steps required. This feature has been a huge time saver for both large and small jobs. Read More Log in to view content
