Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Prus Construction remains committed to building infrastructure that endures for generations, embodying the grit and determination of its founder, Herman Prus.
The Challenge
• Risking Revenue and Margins: A single missed item or inaccurate estimate could cost Prus Construction hundreds of thousands of dollars or force the company to absorb the costly mistake.
• Wasting Valuable Time: Manual takeoffs were time-consuming and error-prone, leaving less time to bid on additional projects and grow the business.
• Lack of Clear Scope and Communication: Before PlanSwift, unclear bid documentation often caused confusion with GCs and owners, jeopardizing both projects and relationships.
How ConstructConnect Helped
• Enhanced Estimating Accuracy: PlanSwift's digital takeoffs eliminated manual errors, allowing Prus Construction to identify and remove an out-of-scope $50,000 line item from their bid, helping them win a half-a-million-dollar job.
• Fast Team Adoption: PlanSwift's intuitive interface enabled the entire team, from a 30-year-old estimator to a nearly 80-year-old veteran, to master the software in under a week, streamlining the bidding process across all projects.
• Increased Bid Confidence: PlanSwift provides a clear, visual record of every item counted. Internal reviews are fast and simple, ensuring nothing gets missed and every bid is solid before it goes out the door.
