U.S. COST Named a 2007 Hottest Company
by Constructech Magazine

Atlanta, Georgia, USA - July 23, 2007 – U.S. COST, a leading provider of estimating and cost management software, has been named one of Constructech magazine's hottest companies of 2007 for its delivery of world-class solutions and industry 'leadership role with a focus on continuous improvement and excellence.' Of particular note is the extraordinary growth in 2006 of U.S. COST's Success Enterprise web-based estimating application that is typically hosted internally and deployed via a customer's intranet.

Steve Williams, Vice-President of Software at U.S. COST, said, "Over the past 12 months we have seen the sales of our web-based application out-pace our traditional desktop application. We have also increased our international footprint adding new clients in Australia and the United Kingdom."

Success Enterprise allows all users within an organization, around the country or around the world to have access to the same centralized set of data and estimates, facilitating true multi-user, real-time estimate collaboration. Additionally, Success Enterprise has a 'zero client footprint' thus eliminating the need to install software on end user machines, reducing the need for IT update and software distribution support. Earlier this year, U.S. COST introduced Success Enterprise 2007 further expanding the application's data management, analytical and estimate warehousing capabilities.

As well, U.S. COST is among the first estimating software companies to provide bi-directional integration and interoperability with Primavera enterprise scheduling solutions. The firm also supports complete integration with building information models (BIM) through its Success Design Exchange mapping device, an innovative link designed to streamline data communication between 3D CAD models and cost estimate creation.
