VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 Streamlining Processes Realizing that the right technology could propel the company forward, PT Masonry selected ProContractor™ by Viewpoint to help streamline its processes and become more efficient. This complete construction business management solution provides end-to-end control of critical business operations – from takeoff and estimating through job cost accounting and project management, and ultimately for critical reporting and analysis. "The ability to quickly and accurately perform a digital takeoff in ProContractor is a big advantage for us," said Tory. "Before, a typical job would take three to four hours just to perform the takeoff and it was a very frustrating process. With ProContractor, we can complete a takeoff in about one hour." With ProContractor, PT Masonry can also use the detailed data from takeoff to easily create estimates, reduce data entry, and improve the accuracy of the bids. By automating and tightly synchronizing these processes, the company can keep track of fluctuating prices and prevent overbidding or underbidding jobs. Tory adds, "The software enables us to keep track of our materials and labor from one job to the next, which is valuable time savings." Using ProContractor's job cost accounting and financial management capabilities will be a total change for the masonry company. "Now, with the reports available in this solution, we will be able to see more clearly where the money comes and goes and maintain better control of our financials," said Leo. As part of the Tesauro brothers' effort to improve operations and profitability, they are expanding their offerings to the commercial market. "To get commercial jobs, we must be union or offer prevailing wage," explained Leo. "Prevailing wage was too difficult to manage before. The Davis-Bacon capabilities in ProContractor will help us pursue this new avenue of our business and new source of revenue." ProContractor offers the capabilities for Davis-Bacon Certified payroll reporting, union, workers' compensation, and benefit tracking for merit shop. The ability to quickly and accurately perform a digital takeoff in ProContractor™ by Viewpoint is a big advantage for us. – Tory Tesauro, President
