About DESTINI Estimator
DESTINI Estimator is a cloud-based and on-premise solution designed to help construction businesses streamline processes related to pre-construction estimating, cost comparison, data management, and more. The platform comes with a sorting tool, which enables users to create and categorize estimates data using customizable fields.
DESTINI Estimator includes 2D and 3D takeoff modules, which allow organizations to determine costs, track changes, and update projects using vector PDFs and conceptual modeling functionalities. Key features of the solution include building information modelling, 'what-if' analysis, bid codes, and a historical database. The built-in comparison reporting functionality lets administrators compare projects and estimates data, to manage resources and improve decision making across the pipeline.
DESTINI Estimator enables managers to import drawings and documents from Procore construction management software, facilitating version tracking and financial data uploading for budgeting. Plus, the system supports integration with various third-party applications, such as Autodesk BIM 360, Power BI, Navisworks, Microsoft Excel, and more.

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.

Implementation takes time. They don't offer a canned out of the box database for costs or assemblies. So be ready to bring your own or build from scratch.
Pros
Beck-Tech has a tremendous support team to help with issues, bugs and general how-to's. The flexibility of the software allows the user to bend it to his/her will. We especially enjoy having all our estimates in a single database for quick resourcing of historical costs and enterprise level collaboration.
Cons
Not sure it's a Con so much as a point to before purchasing: because Beck-Tech is a leading edge software developer changes in the software are frequent (2-3 times per year). This means your team had better be comfortable with adaptation and pushing the limits of software.

Help desk is great. but seems when we fix one issue another one comes about. consist battle
Pros
Takeoff and estimator is in one location not two software's
Cons
Takeoff is terrible, not user friendly, terrible product compared to actually takeoff software, estimate version is not user friendly, change production in two places, same line items dont roll up (even with the toggle roll up). Importing rates with modified crews all screws up. Consistently finding destini glitches
Response from Beck Technology
We are excited to have improved our takeoff capabilities with our most recent version update. Thanks to feedback from our clients we can now provide capabilities that exceed anything on the market today. We also streamlined the versioning process and greatly improved the performance while we were at it. Please connect with our Support team to see how you can get the update. We have more takeoff improvements in the works, too! You are correct that our takeoff capabilities are not like other takeoff platforms because we are working diligently to streamline the entire estimating process. We are always eager to connect with our users on how we can constantly improve our products.

Promising Software that needs to focus on the Takeoff Module
Reviewed on 10/02/2022
Pros
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.

Great Service, they need more program developers
Great Service, they need more program developers
Pros
The features are very good, it has great reporting features and different ways of presenting the cost, for much easier analysis. Great 3D takeoff features but if you are in early stages of design you can't only rely on BIM models. You can't allow your estimate to be as good as your BIM model
Cons
Implementation needs to be more standardized, the support and implementation teams have done everything they can but the development of the program is lagging. 2D takeoff must be greatly improved. There has to be a simpler way to build assemblies. No available online tutorials. Need realistic set in stone dates for releases of required updates
