Beck Technology, a leading preconstruction software company, has announced the release of a groundbreaking feature, Alternates, within its flagship DESTINI Estimator software. This powerful update enhances preconstruction workflows, empowering users to create and manage alternates seamlessly, leading to faster, more accurate estimates and greater project success.
With this feature, DESTINI Estimator offers unprecedented control over the creation and organization of alternates, enabling users to streamline the presentation of different project options to clients. This capability reduces the effort required to showcase various project alternatives, helping preconstruction teams win more work and deliver the right outcomes in a fraction of the time.
Key Features and Value:

- Cross-Project Insights: The ability to organize and view alternates across multiple projects empowers teams with better insights, improving project outcomes by facilitating more informed decisions.
- Efficient Filtering and Grouping: The advanced functionality to filter, sort and group alternates provides a streamlined workflow, delivering estimates faster than ever before.
