W.T. Rich Company Streamlines Preconstruction with Elevation Pro
In the competitive world of public construction, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. W.T. Rich Company, a leading construction management firm based in Natick, Massachusetts, has solidified its position as a powerhouse in public construction projects.
The company’s Chief Estimator, Tim Farrell, was on the lookout for a solution combining speed, accuracy, and user-friendly features.
Farrell credits Elevation Pro for significant improvements in the Estimating department’s workflow. “Elevation Pro is a powerful solution that is flexible enough to bridge the gap between preconstruction and earthwork estimation,” Farrell said. “This capability has improved our workflow, allowing us to approach projects with confidence and precision that was previously unattainable with our previous software.”
Several factors drove W.T. Rich’s decision to switch to Elevation Pro, including a modern, user-friendly design, advanced 3D features, and the ability to enter boring data.
One of the standout features has been Elevation Pro’s ability to break down the site design and provide accurate cut-and-fill analysis to identify earthwork costs early in the project timeline.
The most striking benefit has been the increase in speed. Before using InSite, the company struggled with outdated, less flexible takeoff software that hindered productivity. Farrell reports that Elevation Pro is 50% faster than their previous solution, a significant time-saving that translates directly to improved productivity and competitiveness.
Regarding customer support, Farrell has nothing but praise for the InSite team. “The support team at InSite is fantastic! They are quick to respond, allowing me to stay on task and meet my deadlines.”
