Challenge	Pace Construction, a company based in St. Louis providing heavy highway, bridge, and asphalt services, was previously using Hard Dollar (now InEight) to estimate and bid their jobs. However, they were unsatisfied with the system for a number of reasons. The system was described as 'overkill' with many extraneous packages that were not needed, and features like custom reports, which were needed, were not included. The implementation of user suggestions was slow, and there was no way to access information if they decided to switch to another estimating system. Read More
About Customer	Pace Construction is a company based in St. Louis, Missouri. The company has been providing Missouri’s eastern half with heavy highway, bridge, and asphalt services since the 1940s. The company specializes in road construction, bridge construction, paving, and materials. They have been a client of B2W Software since 2000 and have attended four B2W User Conferences. Read More
Solution	Pace Construction embarked on an estimating software evaluation that included both B2W Estimate and HCSS. They found B2W Estimate to be more user-friendly as it was Windows-based and easy to navigate. Custom reports, which were a crucial need for Pace, were included in the B2W Estimate package. The software also had the ability to communicate with EBS in one simple, time-saving process, and users could easily download to Viewpoint. Another feature that Pace found useful was the ability to add conditions to a job. The B2W Software team was also very receptive to ideas from its users, implementing changes based on user suggestions. Read More Log in to view content
