Parkway Levels Up Precon with Join and 1,500 Projects

“We have to fix this. We cannot do this again.”

That was Sr. Director of Preconstruction Mark Lundell’s reaction early in 2024 after watching a VP spend three painful weeks recreating an estimate from scratch for an audit. The issue? There was no system for tracking or retrieving historical cost decisions.

When Parkway Construction began tackling more complex, high-stakes projects, they needed more than spreadsheets and tribal knowledge to guide decisions. Enter Join, the leading preconstruction and design phase management platform.

By centralizing cost and design decisions, Join gave Parkway’s teams the clarity and collaboration they needed. But the real game-changer was Join Benchmarking, which enabled Parkway to leverage a powerful archive of 1,500+ past projects and became the firm’s single source of truth for estimating, cost guidance, and historical context.

With Join, Parkway can now:

• Instantly access accurate, relevant cost history
• Benchmark new work with real data
• Preserve institutional knowledge through staff changes
• Drive faster, more confident design and estimating decisions

“The owner loved it. And our design manager kept emailing everybody, including our senior architect, saying, ‘You guys have to see this new program that precon is using. It’s amazing.”
