ConCntric

By audience

Estimator

• Build ROM and conceptual estimates during pursuit, then carry the same cost basis forward through SD/DD to IFC instead of rebuilding the estimate each issue.
• Reconcile estimate versions as design evolves, with AI-assisted analysis flagging what changed between updates and why.
• Normalize historical project cost data to benchmark a new estimate against past performance.
• Run Value Engineering cycles as tracked, comparable options rather than side spreadsheets.

General Contracting

• Replace a spreadsheet-and-email preconstruction stack with one system of record spanning pursuit through GMP.
• Keep budget, design intent, schedule and risk linked so a design change surfaces its cost impact.
• Push bid packages into Autodesk BuildingConnected for solicitation and pull awarded values back to track planned versus actual.
• Maintain a portfolio view of active pursuits and their cost certainty.

Construction Management

• Date each review and bidding step of a bid package through a pull-planning calculator.
• Track open risks and issues against the budget in a shared register instead of buried meeting minutes.
• Hand off a documented scope, assumption and clarification trail at GMP so the construction team inherits the reasoning behind the number.

Executive Leadership

• See cost certainty and risk across the pursuit portfolio in one view rather than per-project reports.
• Compare a live opportunity against historical performance on similar projects before committing precon resources.
• Standardize how estimators and precon managers work so results are comparable across offices and teams.

Owner/Developer

• Follow budget evolution and Value Engineering decisions from the GC in a shared dashboard instead of periodic PDF reports.
• See the assumptions and exclusions behind a number at each design milestone.
• Track Target Value Design progress against the project's funding limit.

Procurement & Purchasing

• Develop bid packages with scopes, assumptions and clarifications organized for consistent bid leveling.
• Sync bid packages with their specifications, drawings and scoping documents into BuildingConnected and ACC/BIM 360 Docs folder structures.
• Level bids and compare proposals with AI surfacing anomalies before award.
• Return awarded values into the purchasing plan to track buyout against budget.

By phase

Concept & Planning

• Produce fast ROM and conceptual estimates during pursuit, with AI surfacing early cost and scope insights.
• Compare the opportunity against past project performance to test fit and feasibility before committing.
• Log risks and assumptions from day one so the pursuit narrative and the estimate share one basis.

Design

• Keep the estimate in step with SD/DD/IFC design evolution, with analysis of what changed between issues and why.
• Run Value Engineering and Target Value Design cycles as tracked, comparable options.
• Hold budget, design intent, schedule and risk together so each design decision shows its cost consequence.

Pre-Construction

• Develop and date bid packages through a pull-planning calculator covering every review and bidding step.
• Push bid packages with specs, drawings and scoping documents into BuildingConnected and ACC/BIM 360 Docs.
• Level bids, resolve clarifications and award, with awarded values flowing back to track budget versus actual.
• Carry scope, assumptions and cost basis continuously from early estimating through GMP.
