The Challenge
A construction firm specializing in building rehabilitation faced inefficiencies due to an outdated estimation application built in Microsoft Access 1997. The software lacked documentation, became difficult to maintain, and created friction in the project estimation process.
The organization needed a new system that could replicate their legacy functionality while modernizing the interface and architecture.
Key pain points included:
- No centralized, modern platform for project estimates
- Limited support for multiple users and data integrity
- Difficulty scaling or integrating with future systems
