Join

By audience

Estimator

• Import estimate data from DESTINI, Sage Estimating, or Trimble WinEst into Join
• Benchmark costs against RSMeans data during early project phases
• Manage cost alternatives and scope changes with markup tracking
• Synchronize estimate data with Procore for seamless transition to construction

General Contracting

• Standardize preconstruction workflows across multiple offices using Join's collaborative platform
• Track design changes and their cost/schedule impacts in real time during the design phase
• Manage bid alternates and design options with integrated cost modeling before construction starts
• Coordinate fast-track procurement schedules aligned with the construction start date

Owner/Developer

• Maximize capital efficiency by tracking design decisions against program budgets in real time
• Engage with design and GC teams on a shared platform for transparent decision-making
• Access Join Insights for executive portfolio views of preconstruction project health
• Drive value engineering by modeling scenarios and their cost impacts before committing to design

Project Engineer

• Track design deliverables and milestones during the schematic and design development phases
• Coordinate document sharing via Autodesk Build/Docs, Egnyte, or Procore
• Monitor change items and proposed alternates against the approved budget
• Support transition from design to construction by aligning preconstruction data with field systems

Project Manager

• Monitor budget trends as design evolves with dynamic cost intelligence dashboards
• Manage risk registers with scoring and mitigation strategies during preconstruction
• Generate customizable reports for owner presentations and design team alignment
• Track project milestones and schedule progress from design through preconstruction handoff

By phase

Design

• Track cost impacts of design decisions in real time as the design evolves
• Manage design options, alternates, and scope items against the project budget
• Govern risk and contingency drawdowns as the design is refined
• Ensure design deliverables are aligned with schedule requirements using integrated timeline tools

Pre-Construction

• Manage procurement coordination and fast-track scheduling before construction mobilization
• Align cost estimates, design budgets, and schedule milestones in a unified preconstruction platform
• Run scenario modeling on design alternatives to optimize value before bid
• Coordinate multi-stakeholder input from GC, owner, and design team on procurement decisions
