Why Excel is Not an Estimating Software

Since 2016, Beck Technology has successfully helped preconstruction teams make the switch from Excel to a truly integrated all-in-one construction estimating software.

If you are using Excel for your Estimating, that means you must use multiple tools that don’t work together. As a result, your precon team is manually moving data, which takes time away from high-value activities like pursuing new projects, benchmarking, and value engineering. Switching between platforms introduces a high level of risk of data errors and loss. Plus, with everyone working in their own spreadsheets, there is no room for collaboration or consistency in your estimates, possibly causing owners to lose trust in your team.
