ConCntric announced a new integration with BuildingConnected®?, a preconstruction solution that is part of Autodesk Construction Cloud®?, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. This integration redefines preconstruction and procurement practices by seamlessly bridging the gap between the estimating phase and the subcontractor bidding phase, resulting in fewer errors and increased productivity. ConCntric's procurement module assists general contractors in the planning and development of project bid packages, providing an instant overview of ongoing work. Each bid package contains detailed information, including estimated values, negotiation targets, and comprehensive collateral such as specs, drawings, and scoping documents.

The entire bid package generated in ConCntric then syncs into BuildingConnected to distribute to subcontractors. Finally, the awarded values from BuildingConnected sync back into ConCntric to track the planned versus actual costs. This integration specifically targets the procurement phase, aiming to streamline the often manual and disjointed processes prevalent in the industry.

In a sector where technology solutions have primarily focused on the construction phase of the lifecycle, ConCntric is hyper focused on creating a platform that serves as a bridge from the design phase of a project to ground break. Traditionally overlooked, the preconstruction phase involves critical decisions on project design, materials, finishes, and overall planning. ConCntric is committed to uniting all stakeholders during this crucial phase, enabling them to concentrate their efforts on meticulous planning and value engineering where necessary.
