The Estimating Engine Inside DESTINI Cloud

DESTINI Estimator gives preconstruction teams a connected environment for building, managing, and defending estimates. Instead of moving data between spreadsheets, takeoff tools, cost databases, bid platforms, and reporting systems, teams can connect quantities, costs, assumptions, alternates, bids, and decisions in one cloud-based workflow.

With AI-powered takeoff connected to estimating, teams can reduce repetitive manual work, preserve context from drawings to line items, and make better decisions from concept through GMP.

One Connected Workflow for Every Estimate

Generate quantities faster with AI-assisted takeoff that detects, counts, measures, and organizes drawing information. Estimators stay in control with reviewable quantities that can connect directly into estimating workflows.

Build estimates using connected quantities, cost history, assemblies, labor, materials, fees, alternates, and assumptions—so every number is easier to update, explain, and defend.

Use historical project data to benchmark future work, validate assumptions, and create more consistent estimates across teams, offices, and project types.

Connect 2D and 3D design information to cost analysis so teams can visualize scope, validate quantities, and identify gaps earlier in preconstruction.

Compare subcontractor bids side by side, normalize scope, evaluate alternates, and connect bid decisions back to the estimate.

Turn estimate and project data into actionable visibility for preconstruction leaders, executives, and project teams with dashboards and flexible reporting.

Enable multiple team members to work together in the same estimate, reduce bottlenecks, and improve alignment across estimating, operations, and leadership.

Track estimate changes, manage user permissions, and preserve decision history to support accountability, governance, and bid-day confidence.

One Connected Workflow for Every Estimate
