CH2M Hill - A global leader in full-service engineering, consulting, construction, and operations. A uniquely positioned engineer-procure-construct (EPC) company that offers this wide spectrum of expertise, knowledge, and services across varied industries and government agencies.

CH2M Hill first began using Success Estimator in the mid 1990's and since then it has become their standard for engineer's estimates from conceptual estimates (class 5/4) to definitive level (class 2/1) around the world. In addition to utilizing its out of the box functionality, the team at CH2M Hill, lead by Pete Bredehoeft, has taken advantage of many of the more powerful features of the program including custom analysis macros for cross project comparison, the integration of CAD/Estimating and parametric cost modeling.

"The relationship with U.S. COST has been an important one for our estimating group. Its really more of a partnership in which each side benefits thru give and take. The service and support over the years has been tremendous and I believe Success Estimator is the most ideal system for the types of estimates my group produces."
