How UK Consultancy PBC Streamlined Take-Offs with Kreo Software

PBC is a UK construction consultancy made up of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers, and Cost Consultants. We support clients across the built environment with building surveying, cost and commercial advice, project delivery, and lender monitoring services. We operate nationwide, with offices including London, Brighton, the West Midlands, and the North West.

We use Kreo for digital take-off and estimating. It helps us streamline the measurement process through features such as one-click area measurement and automated take-off tools, allowing us to work more efficiently and accurately.

Before switching to Kreo, we used CostX for take-off. The main challenge was that it relied heavily on servers and VPN access, which made remote working slower and less efficient. Kreo solved this by providing a cloud-based platform that is fast, accessible, and responsive wherever our team is working.

Using Kreo has improved both the speed and consistency of our take-offs. Its cloud-based setup means our team can work efficiently from any location, without the server and VPN delays we experienced previously. This has reduced friction in our workflow, improved collaboration, and helped us respond to client requests more quickly.

Yes, we would recommend Kreo. Its automated measurement tools and one-click area functionality make the take-off process faster, more streamlined, and more reliable. This helps us provide clients with cost advice more quickly, while also improving overall accuracy.

Kreo has been a valuable addition to our workflow, particularly in supporting faster, more flexible working across the team.
