Kent Structures are a leading design and build contractor with over 20 years of experience. After recently expanding into the public sector, they sought a solution to support them manage tighter deadlines associated with more complex documentation requirements. They adopted CausewayOne Pre-construction, a cloud-based tendering and estimating platform with takeoff and measurement tools. The team is excited about the time-saving benefits and improved accuracy which will enable seamless portfolio growth, all while maintaining their reputation for high standards.
Kent Structures' recent expansion into the public sector unlocked exciting new opportunities for growth. However, with these opportunities came the need to adapt to more complex requirements. Public sector projects brought tighter deadlines, greater compliance demands, and more detailed documentation, offering a chance to refine their processes. These new expectations, particularly around managing pre-qualification questionnaires, initially put added pressure on their pre-construction phase, but also highlighted areas where streamlining could free up resources for critical estimating tasks.
Without dedicated estimating software, Kent Structures used a combination of AutoCAD for measuring, Dropbox for managing enquiries, and Excel for estimating. While this system worked, they saw an opportunity to enhance efficiency and accuracy. By streamlining these processes into one integrated platform, they could speed up response times and sharpen their competitive edge in winning public sector bids.
Following a short evaluation they chose CausewayOne Pre-construction, a cloud-based platform that integrates bidding workflows, simplifying key stages of the pre-construction process.
By adopting the platform, Kent Structures saw an opportunity to:
- Speed up their estimating and takeoff processes with a unified platform.
- Maintain high levels of accuracy and compliance, essential for public sector bids.
- Keep all key documents and data in one place, improving collaboration and visibility across teams.
- Improve communication and relationships with sub-contractors with a dedicated cloud-based enquiries system
With CausewayOne Pre-construction, Kent Structures are confident that they will see significant time savings and improvements in accuracy. Their estimating team, now able to focus on high-value tasks rather than managing multiple tools, will be empowered to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing bid quality.
