🛣️ Heavy-highway estimating, meet enterprise-grade financials. We've gone all-in on civil and heavy-highway — and built the depth that large GCs and enterprise contractors run on. Here's what's new 👇 🛣️ Civil & heavy-highway estimating ▸ AI takeoff for civil plans — earthwork, paving, drainage, curb & gutter, guardrail ▸ Quantities in the units work is bid in — SY, CY, TON, LF (incl. earthwork cut/fill & haul) ▸ DOT pay-item bidding + crew production-rate estimating 📊 Financial control at scale ▸ Native double-entry general ledger — real-time P&L, balance sheet & cash flow ▸ Job costing on every project by cost code (labor, materials, equipment, subs) with budget vs. actual, committed cost & WIP ▸ AR/AP aging, invoicing & cash management that reconcile automatically 🧾 Built for public & prevailing-wage work ▸ Certified payroll (Davis-Bacon) with WH-347 generation ▸ AIA G702/G703 progress billing with schedule of values & retainage 📱 Field to finance, connected ▸ Mobile daily field logs synced straight to the office ▸ Equipment tracking with cost allocation to the job ▸ Material delivery ticketing tied to job cost 🔄 Switch without the downtime ▸ Migration tooling to import jobs, vendors, cost codes & opening balances from the legacy enterprise systems large contractors run today — onboarding in minutes, not months From the first civil takeoff to the general ledger — one platform, built to run at enterprise scale. #Construction #HeavyCivil #ConstructionTech #GeneralContractor #JobCosting #Estimating

Estimating shouldn't live in one tool while the business lives in another. So we built Intelligent Estimating right inside your Business Intelligence Dashboard (B-I-D) — the whole bid, in one place. Drop in a plan set and AI takeoff returns itemized counts by division. Send them straight to an estimate that's as fast as a spreadsheet but built for construction — with your real margin before you send the number. Level every sub bid on one screen, let AI read the spec book for the gotchas, and watch it all roll up into your B-I-D: live risk scores, competitive intelligence, win rate, and margin in real time. One screen for the intelligence behind every bid. ▶ Watch the 90-second tour.

Would your schedule pass a DCMA 14-point check? Most teams don't know until it is too late. Feature spotlight: DCMA 14-Point Assessment / Schedule Health Score How it works in DesignFlow Build: Grade schedule quality using owner/government-style health checks before the schedule gets challenged. Why it matters: commercial contractors do not need another disconnected point tool. They need the workflow to move from source document to estimate, job, field, and accounting without re-keying the same information. Built by Builders. Built for the way commercial work actually gets done. #ProjectControls #Scheduling #ConstructionTech #ConstructionSoftware #ConstructionERP

New in DesignFlow Build: BAS & Low-Voltage Controls. For most controls contractors, the BAS scope gets bid in a silo — separate from the rest of the job. Coordination, labor, and margin end up scattered across disconnected spreadsheets. So we built it into the ERP. BAS is now an integrated line-item type inside the same estimate as your construction scope: • Estimate from a component catalog with multi-discipline labor — installation, checkout, engineering, programming, and commissioning • A transparent cost build-up with adders and a target-margin sell price • Estimate wiring three ways — per system + floor, linear footage, or pulled straight from an AI takeoff • Auto-generated deliverables — device schedule with BACnet addressing, commissioning checklists, and a full submittal package • A branded proposal with a clean PDF export One estimate. One proposal. Controls and construction together. Watch the 2.5-minute tour, then start free: https://lnkd.in/dBexQ6bp #BuildingAutomation #LowVoltage #ConstructionTech #Estimating #BAS
