GRADEX

ROBUST FEATURES, MODULARITY, & SCALABILITY

Maynard had been trained on InEight earlier in his career when he worked for Kiewit, and he had seen a lot of different project management and estimating tools while consulting for Turner Construction .

Based on those experiences, he was confident that InEight could deliver the right combination of features and scalability Gradex needed to support its continued growth.

As he explains: "The connectivity between InEight Estimate and the project management capabilities was a big draw. Another was the ability to select the modules we needed and then build out the solution. As the business grows, we need something that we know will scale appropriately.”

Working closely with the InEight team, Gradex was able to fully implement its new, modular project controls solution in just two months.

Today, InEight is helping the Gradex team confidently deliver better project estimates and outcomes through improved reporting and forecasting, and faster and more accurate estimates.

Maynard notes that while HCSS Heavy Job also deploys quickly, InEight is a much more comprehensive, robust solution.

“HCSS doesn’t have the same number of levers and things I can do to the estimate. It maxes out quickly. I still haven’t found the bottom of what InEight can do yet. That’s a good thing—I haven’t maxed out the system,” he says.
