Exigent Solutions
Exigent is focused on building a scalable commercial engine that supports growth across all of our operating companies. We could not simply adopt a one-size-fits-all estimating tool that forces us to change how we operate. After evaluating multiple options, we chose Smart Estimator because it is flexible, respects our current estimating logic, gives us a scalable framework, and sets us up for measurable improvements in productivity, visibility and consistency as we grow.

The Challenge
