ConCntric
Preconstruction platform for general contractors that connects historical cost data, estimate progression, value engineering, risk, and procurement from ROM through GMP, with agentic AI assistance.
Definition
ConCntric is a preconstruction platform built for general contractors' preconstruction managers, estimators, and project executives. It structures and stores historical project and cost data so teams can pull comparable projects by size, type, market, and delivery method, normalize costs for location and escalation, and build conceptual and schematic design estimates with guardrails from past work. The platform tracks estimate progression through SD, DD, and toward IFC, supports value engineering and risk and issue logs, and carries scopes, assumptions, and clarifications into bid packages, bid leveling, and buyout through GMP. Its agentic AI flags anomalies and cost deltas, recommends historical comparisons, and helps compare proposals. ConCntric works with a contractor's existing estimating software rather than replacing it, including a DESTINI (Beck Technology) integration, and its Procurement Sync app pushes bid packages to Autodesk BuildingConnected and files to Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 Docs.

In Depth
The months between a first ROM and a signed GMP are when a general contractor's preconstruction group earns its fee, and they are usually run out of spreadsheets, an estimating tool, a shared drive, and a lot of institutional memory. ConCntric is designed to be the connective tissue across that stretch: historical cost data at the start, estimate milestones and VE logs in the middle, and bid packages, leveling, and buyout at the end.
In practice the historical data is the part that pays back first. Pulling comparable projects by type, size, market, and delivery method, normalized for escalation and location, is what makes a conceptual estimate defensible in front of an owner. From there, ConCntric tracks how the number moves through SD and DD, keeps risk and issue logs tied to the estimate, and carries scope assumptions into procurement. It sits alongside your estimating software (it integrates with DESTINI) and pushes bid packages to BuildingConnected and Autodesk Construction Cloud.
For an evaluation, bring your own historical data and see how much cleanup it needs to become usable; that is where most precon platforms succeed or stall. Ask which AI features are fully automated versus assisted, and confirm how estimate data flows to the project management system your operations team will use after award.
Examples
A preconstruction manager pulls five comparable lab buildings from the firm's history, normalized for escalation and location, to set a ROM budget
An estimator tracks how the DD estimate moved from SD and ties each delta to a design decision or VE item
A procurement lead pushes bid packages from ConCntric to BuildingConnected and pulls award values back after buyout
