5 Developers ASP.NET + SQLServer Construction Industry

Project Overview

To transform the estimating and costing process for construction by replacing legacy, modern, and data-driven platform. This system centralizes critical project data with industry-standard design and management software, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring accuracy from quote to completion. Our mission was to re-architect the legacy estimating system into a modern, integrated platform. The new solution was designed to handle complex data from materials, labor, and IFC files, while establishing seamless, bi-directional synchronization with critical systems like StruMIS and Tekla. This transformed a fragmented process into a scalable workflow.
