Case Study: Pepper Construction Builds a Highly-Effective Model-Based Cost Estimating Process

Pepper Construction is one of the largest contractors in the Midwest and the company proudly leads the industry in virtual, lean and sustainable construction.

To improve competitiveness, Pepper Construction team leaders wanted the ability to develop granular-level breakouts within estimates to give customers more insight into project costs. Looking to meet these goals and to also inject consistency, speed and accuracy into its pricing process, Pepper Construction turned to BuildingPoint Midwest and Trimble for help.

BuildingPoint Midwest provided Pepper with Trimble® GC Estimator Suite, which includes WinEst, Vico Office and three Vico modules. These solutions improved Pepper’s estimating results in the following ways:

• Improved estimate accuracy and consistency
• Accelerated digital takeoffs
• 4D BIM for scheduling and 5D BIM for estimating
• Increased cost transparency with cost breakouts
