Beck Technology, a leading preconstruction software company, recently announced the release of a groundbreaking feature, Alternates, within its flagship DESTINI Estimator software. This powerful update enhances preconstruction workflows, empowering users to create and manage alternates seamlessly, leading to faster, more accurate estimates and greater project success.

With this feature, DESTINI Estimator offers unprecedented control over the creation and organization of alternates, enabling users to streamline the presentation of different project options to clients. This capability reduces the effort required to showcase various project alternatives, helping preconstruction teams win more work and deliver the right outcomes in a fraction of the time.

• Presentation Made Easy: The new Alternates feature simplifies the presentation of various project scenarios, driving faster decision-making and improving client satisfaction.
• Fees Per Alternate: The feature supports the process of accurate cost estimation, enabling teams to apply specific fees to each alternate, increasing the speed of estimates without sacrificing precision.
• Takeoff Per Alternate: Alternates allow changes to be applied directly to the estimate, reducing the risk of overlooking important items when evaluating alternates or value engineering (VE) options. Cross-Project Insights: The ability to organize and view alternates across multiple projects empower teams with better insights, improving project outcomes by facilitating more informed decisions.
• Efficient Filtering and Grouping: The advanced functionality to filter, sort and group alternates provides a streamlined workflow, delivering estimates faster than ever before.
• One-Click Alternate Integration: With just a single click, users can roll alternates into the base estimate, reducing both time and risk while ensuring all elements are accounted for.
