InEight: End-to-End Project Controls Software for Complex Capital Construction

InEight was created to provide a modular, integrated project controls platform for the capital construction industry. Spanning the entire project lifecycle, the software solution helps manage scope, cost, schedule and risk.

The Evolution of InEight

InEight’s story is rooted in decades of innovation in construction technology, with its foundations tracing back to Kiewit’s early investments in pioneering software companies. Guided by Kiewit’s vision for a single source of truth across all project operations, InEight has grown into a comprehensive project controls platform.

InEight reflects a strategic blend of innovation, acquisition and deep industry expertise, delivering connected, field-tested solutions for capital project execution at scale.

Key Milestones of Development

1989

Hard Dollar is founded, introducing one of the first computerized estimating systems for the construction industry. This laid the groundwork for what would become InEight Estimate.

1995

QA Software is established in Melbourne, Australia, launching TeamBinder, an early document control solution. This would later evolve into InEight’s Document Control product.

2008

Hard Dollar advances with bidirectional cost-schedule integration and moves into its Scottsdale, AZ headquarters — now InEight’s North American base.

2012

Kiewit invests in Hard Dollar and fully acquires it within a year. This marks a pivotal step in Kiewit’s digital transformation and leadership.

2014

Kiewit officially launches InEight Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary. The mission is to ensure all project stakeholders have the information they need, when and where they need it, to make better decisions using an end-to-end construction platform.
