Efficiency

Less time on manual processes and outdated tools, more time on core business.

Accuracy

More accurate estimates, invoices and reporting, with fewer errors and discrepancies.

Scalability

A platform the business can grow into, delivering long-term value.

The challenge

BCR Construction ran its business on outdated, home-grown tools for processes and reporting. They were slow, and they could not standardize the way the company actually works.

Time tracking, cost estimating, cost code management, invoicing, integrations and keeping a single source of truth were all a struggle, and several off-the-shelf products had failed to fit.

Our solution

We analyzed how the business actually worked and designed a custom platform around those processes, aiming for immediate value and room to grow.

Estimators build bids from managed cost codes, materials and labor rates, track change orders, and generate invoices from the same data.

The result

The custom platform replaced the outdated tools and significantly improved efficiency and accuracy across BCR’s business processes.
