What Is DESTINI Cloud?

DESTINI Cloud is Beck Technology's cloud-native preconstruction platform that brings estimating, takeoff, bid leveling, reporting, analytics, and collaboration together in a single connected environment. Rather than relying on separate applications, spreadsheets, and disconnected workflows, DESTINI Cloud provides a centralized system that helps preconstruction teams work more efficiently, improve estimate accuracy, and make better-informed project decisions.

Designed for general contractors, construction managers, and preconstruction professionals, DESTINI Cloud supports the entire preconstruction process, from early conceptual budgeting through detailed estimates and bid evaluation.

Why DESTINI Cloud?

Traditional preconstruction workflows often require teams to move information between multiple software applications for takeoff, estimating, bid management, reporting, and historical cost analysis. These disconnected processes can lead to duplicate data entry, version-control challenges, and inefficiencies.

DESTINI Cloud addresses these challenges by providing:

• A single source of truth for preconstruction data
• Connected workflows between takeoff, estimating, and bid management
• Real-time collaboration across teams and offices
• Centralized project, estimate, and cost information
• Enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities
• Support for data-driven decision-making throughout the project lifecycle

DESTINI Cloud Products

• DESTINI Cloud Estimator - Estimating
  DESTINI Cloud Estimator enables teams to create, manage, and maintain detailed estimates using standardized cost data, assemblies, labor resources, fees, alternates, and estimate versions. Historical cost information and reusable estimating structures help improve consistency and productivity across projects.

• DESTINI Takeoff - Integrated/AI-Powered Takeoff
  DESTINI Takeoff is embedded directly within the estimating workflow, eliminating the need to export and reimport quantities between separate applications. Teams can measure, count, and generate quantities while maintaining a direct connection to estimate line items.
  
  DESTINI Takeoff includes AI-powered takeoff capabilities that help identify, measure, and count objects from construction drawings. By automating portions of the quantity takeoff process, teams can reduce manual effort and accelerate estimate development.

• DESTINI Bid Day - Bid Leveling
  DESTINI Bid Day enables preconstruction teams to compare subcontractor bids, evaluate scope coverage, and analyze inclusions, exclusions, and alternates within a connected workflow. DESTINI Bid Day helps improve transparency and supports more informed award decisions.

• DESTINI Cloud Estimator - Reporting and Analytics
  DESTINI Cloud Estimator includes modern reporting and analytics capabilities, including embedded Microsoft Power BI integration. Teams can analyze estimate data, review project trends, and gain insights that support continuous improvement and more confident decision-making.

• DESTINI Cost Library - Cost Database (in Private Preview)
  DESTINI Cost Library is the centralized cost data management solution within DESTINI Cloud. It serves as a governed, organization-wide source of cost information that supports estimating consistency, standardization, and collaboration across preconstruction teams. Cost Library connects directly with DESTINI Cloud estimating workflows, helping teams build more accurate and consistent estimates while maintaining administrative control over pricing, assemblies, labor rates, crews, formulas, and other estimating standards.

• DESTINI Hub - Cost Database Subscription Service
  DESTINI Hub and DESTINI Hub+ are subscription services that provide standardized estimating content, cost databases, templates, reports, dashboards, and ongoing maintenance for your organization's estimating environment. These services help teams establish consistent estimating practices, reduce the effort required to maintain estimating data, and improve visibility into project and cost information across the business.

Collaboration and Integration

• Collaboration
  As a cloud-native platform, DESTINI Cloud enables teams to work together more effectively across locations and departments. Project information, estimates, quantities, bids, and reporting data remain connected and accessible within a shared environment.

• API and Integration Frameworks
  DESTINI Cloud provides a suite of APIs that enable developers to integrate DESTINI applications with external systems, automate workflows, and access project data programmatically. Each API includes interactive documentation with detailed endpoint information, request parameters, response formats, and data schemas to help accelerate development and integration efforts.

How DESTINI Cloud Works

A typical workflow in DESTINI Cloud includes:

1. Set up, import, and manage cost data (DESTINI Cost Library / DESTINI Hub).
2. Create a project, import drawings, and perform takeoff activities (DESTINI Takeoff).
3. Connect quantities directly to estimate items (DESTINI Cloud Estimator).
4. Build and refine estimates using company cost data and standards (DESTINI Cloud Estimator).
5. Manage self-perform resources and crews, alternates, revisions, and estimate versions (DESTINI Cloud Estimator).
6. Collect and compare subcontractor bids (DESTINI Bid Day).
7. Analyze results through reports and dashboards (DESTINI Cloud Estimator Reporting & Analytics).
8. Use project data and historical information to support future estimates (DESTINI Cloud Estimator Reporting & Analytics).
