November 22, 2023 – Among the recipients of Trimble’s annual Construction Management Awards is electrical contractor Jamerson & Bauwens Electrical Contractors Inc., under the category of “Best Estimating Success Story”. Congratulations!

“Each year, we take a moment to recognize the extraordinary feats happening across the construction industry given that today’s contractors are expected to not just deliver on time and on budget, but to build exceptional projects that will stand the test of time,” said Lawrence Smith, vice-president and general manager, Trimble Construction Management Solutions.

The annual awards honours the successes that North American civil, general, and specialty contractors have achieved with the support of Trimble technology. This year, the awards were expanded to five categories, two of which were specific to mechanical and electrical contractors.

The electrical contractor faced challenges with supply chain disruptions, pricing volatility, and remote workforce needs. At the same time, the company also started bidding on larger, more complex projects with tighter deadlines. J&B recognized its estimating process wasn’t keeping pace with market conditions, nor helping them grow their business.

After adopting Trimble Accubid Anywhere, Trimble says J&B saw immediate improvements. Takeoffs are faster, the team is able to provide more accurate pricing and has greater confidence in project costs, and handoffs to the project management and field teams have improved.

The other award recipients include:

• T.S. Raulston Inc.
• Coyote Ridge Construction LLC
• SDB Contracting Services Inc.
• HP Civil Inc.

Honourable mentions include:

• Blackwater Electric
• CDA Paving and Concrete Specialties
• Duggan Contracting
• Faulconer Construction
• Industrial Builders
• JD Abrams
• McCormick Construction
• Perman Construction and Development
• Rummel Construction
• Tilson Technology

“Technology plays a key role in helping contractors succeed by connecting teams, reducing friction, streamlining workflows and improving the way these businesses and their projects are run, and we want to recognize those highlights,” Smith added.
