We are able to produce uniform / high quality estimates using the program.

Pros

We appreciate the ability to handle most of our workflow in one program. The program is not overly difficult to use.

Cons

2D takeoff while adequate could use some improvements

Using Destini Estimator has overall been a positive experience. The customer success and support teams are fantastic. They are also working on expanding and developing the product. The BIM 360 integration is what we are most excited about in the future as this tool is increasingly used and as architects continue to develop their models. The new automatic pricing feature makes the software more intuitive and reduces the number of steps needed to perform takeoff and automatically link the takeoff to the line items in the estimate.

Pros

The automatic pricing functionality makes takeoff and pricing easy to gather quantiles from the plans and link to the estimate line item costs. The ability to break down an estimate into different scopes, phases, alternates and base bid or any number of scenarios using the WBS features. The BIM 360 tool is one of the most impressive features and the ability to pull quantities for the estimate from the model.

Cons

Onsite deployment is cumbersome and spotty. I would recommend the cloud base solution. The challenge with cloud based deployment and use is you loose connectivity if your internet connection goes down. The takeoff software needs additional functionality with takeoff tools similar to more mainstream products.

Reasons for choosing DESTINI Estimator

BIM360 functionality, increased productivity, User interface, Centralized cost and project database, Team integration, project tracking, establishing a common tool for all estimating staff and presentation to client

The implementation team was exceptional and helped lead our company to employ the best practices in database management, assembly creation and data flow. Beck Technology is extremely responsive and fully supports the product.

Pros

The product connects a robust estimating software with 2D and 3D takeoff and a historical cost index. Very easy to present information in multiple presentation formats (System, Uniformat, CSI, etc.). Very easy to use.

Cons

The 2D takeoff tool is being worked on and will become much better than currently deployed.

Pros

The ability of the product to easily mold to your company’s estimating database to the program. Most other programs are exceedingly difficult to manipulate.

Cons

Inability to easily bulk update information across all estimates without having advanced knowledge of SQL (I.e. meta data, WBS nomenclature, “data cleanup”).

We have a great experience to date. Great technical support and a willingness to evolve and take on board feedback for development needs.

Pros

The software is versatile and meets the needs of our team and even more importantly woks well in out tech-stack. We have embraced systems that allow us to maintain maximum interoperability to stay lean and minimize the potential for data corruption. The system itself is very user friendly and training is intuitive, we were up and running in a few months.

Cons

The system is great but would benefit from being cloud based and have a more flexible license assignment and management process. We are about to extend the product roll out and would like to be able to police users not within our trained group of SME's and reduce the potential for data corruption on the historical end.

Reasons for choosing DESTINI Estimator

Tech stack interoperability, flexibility, more advanced product with future potential.

Overall experience is on a scale of 1-10 would be a 8. The new Autocosting version has helped increase my experience rating from a functionality perspective. Once the "Bugs" of the release are worked out I hope the experience increases

Pros

It is great having all aspects of the project under one platform from takeoff to reporting. The new format is much more intuitive and user friendly. We are slowly seeing the time savings as we are able to start new projects in this software version.

Cons

versioning estimate form previous software versions is proving challenging. The "Bugs" of the new version are creating additional challenges for some users as well.

Pros

I have used Destini Estimator on all my conceptual & schematic level budgets for my clients. This software is a must have for an estimator in the construction industry. The use of historical cost database, tie take-offs to your line items and the detailed line estimate reports it generates - really adds great value in our department.

Cons

As we roll out the software we are finding the software fits 99% of our scenarios. I really like the features and ease of use. It is much more intuitive than Sage Timberline.

Pros

I like that it takes the best parts of excel but allows for the data to be mined for future costing exercises. I also love the comparison feature. Comparison really helps tell the story of where the estimate changed from last round.

Cons

I think there are a few features that would be useful. Alternates would be the most useful for us. I would also like the functionality of clicking on multiple cells and getting a total.

This is one of the best estimating software packages in the market. We were able to develop a very detailed and powerful cost database and align several different regions to make our estimates more uniform throughout the company.

Cons

The Takeoff module is not efficient and needs significant upgrades. We will continue to need to have a separate takeoff software until this is improved.
