CMiC Construction Platform Review
- It stores the company's main data in a central location.
- In my opinion, Payroll support response times for critical issues are far longer than specified in the contract 90% of the time. Other issues have taken up to 18 months to resolve.
- In my opinion, patches always break at least one existing functionality. Patches are a major issue for most companies using CMiC Enterprise or PAAS.
- In my opinion, clients are responsible for testing ALL functionality used in every patch. Time demands are excessive.
- In my opinion, CMiC trainers are often unknowledgeable. A few are good, but we received more than one trainer who was in their first or second week with CMiC.
- I believe the description on CMiC's billable Contracts and Work Orders are purposefully short and deceptive about hidden costs. This has been a fight since day one and never improved.
- In my opinion, users receive a ton of obscure error messages and may be system issues.
- In my opinion, performance is often slow and problematic.
- In my opinion, implementation takes over a year for the majority of companies. In our case, over two years.
- In my experience, payroll tax reports were not fixed until right before or even on the due date.
- In my experience, this ERP requires the company to have full-time people dedicated to the implementation, upgrades, patches, user training, and reporting/handling of support issues. The upgrade process had so many issues it became known as a downgrade at our company.
- In my opinion, the customer success team was unhelpful.
- In my opinion, CMiC Construction Platform focuses on creating new features instead of fixing the existing features with problems.
- In my opinion, CMiC does not listen and enact positive change.
- In my opinion, promises are not kept.
Great product with issues
- Cost management.
- Meeting minutes.
- Invoicing.
- Contract management.
- Change records management.
- Document management.
Useful but has room for improvement
- Invoice approval.
- Spent to date detail.
- Draw package for lender.
- Track subcontracts
- Not very user-friendly.
- Glitches often.
- Financial reports
Good bang for the buck but it is a bit clunky.
- Financial forecasting.
- Document tracking.
- Financial organization.
- Labor forecasting--this should automatically update the forecast as each pay period rolls.
- No drawing coordination.
- More flexibility with documents. Meeting minutes are tough to organize in a flexible manner.
Very happy

Very strong tool for multiple project control.
- Task Creation & Sub Task Creation
- Logical Tasks Grouping
- Tasks Implementation in sequential manner and parallels way

- For New user, it need time to understand the navigation & Control
- Add to Favorite sort of functionality need to be added to access repeatedly accessing features
Implementing CMiC Field and Planning for More
- Subcontract/PO management with Docusign integration
- Submittal/RFI management
- External partner portal for collaborators
- Easy to use mobile tools
- Forms/checklists feature unused because lacking basic functions
- Submittal/RFI reviewer table as taken time to understand to fit our current processes
- Some fields are hard coded which require UDF workaround
CMiC is a thorough and well thought out integrated platform that allows us to run multiple parts of our business with confidence.
- Reasonable price for what it offers
- Connected database, especially with accounting and operations
- Ability to configure the platform to fit our business needs
- Needs to be more user friendly on the mobile side of the platform. Ease of use is key here.
- There is not much instruction or support in standing up some programs like deploying ECM for outlook, making Collaboration Gateway work, or setting up the system for getting Plans available on the mobile devices.
- Security configuration is extremely detailed and spread throughout the system. It is extremely hard to make adjustments to a person's security unless you know exactly where to look, which requires years of experience but shouldn't.
- The platform is well suited for tracking project financials. The direct tie between the project budgets and costs on the accounting side makes this platform extremely valuable as we have real time cost data to make decisions from.
- The platform is great in that it integrates the majority of our major processes. We can track a pursuit in Opportunity Management and push that information directly to a project. We hire people through the system and they are available to input on a project. We track time and pay people through CMiC and even manage our equipment fleet. This one platform satisfies a lot of our business needs, which makes our technology stack a bit easier to manage.
- The platform as it stands today is not well suited for mobile consumption. We have users not use the mobile platform due to issues with losing data when not in wifi and issues with not understanding how to use the system.
Gets the job done, but no bells and whistles
- Simple platform
- Easy to find what you want
- Efficient
- Old interface
- Needs to be updated to look more aesthetically pleasing
- Sometimes has too many button options that are confusing
CMiC at a Glance
- CMiC has really good customer service
- CMiC is constantly trying to evolve to meet the new and everyday needs
- Willingness to collaborate with users on how they can improve
- They provide a wide array of useful tools
- The ability through the cloud to work from anywhere
- Depending on what module you are in, there are a lot of issues with continuity. It appears that each screen was designed by a different programmer and there wasn't a basic structure to follow. The save button on one screen is at the top and on another it is on the bottom. Then on other screens the save button is called "process". Also on most date entry fields, you can enter the date as MMDDYY but on others, you have to do YYYY-MM-DD. I would really like them to make things consistent through all of the modules. It makes training new employees more difficult when there isn't consistency.
- I’m hoping this has been fixed with the new CMiC Connect App but but mobile field in the past has been very glitchy. Every time there has been an update to the apps our employees and subcontractors have had to delete and uninstall the app. This has caused a lot of frustration and an unwillingness to use the app.
The IT Manager likes it.
- Workflow.
- Single point data.
- Cloud Based.
- Daily Logs.
- Bidding Audit History.
- Connectors need to be more affordable.
Operational yet frustrating
- Maintaining a web base platform to house various project related documents.
- Navigation is fairly intuative after initial use.
- If/when there is an error, it is very clear that the sitation has occurred.
- Timely programming repairs.
- Software consistency - Seems to glich sparadically
- It scales well.
- CMiC has a strong user base
- There are many workflows available for you to choose from
- Support has been traditionally sub par
- The customer is not often treated like a partner
- New releases are not tested throughly
CMiC You!!

- Analytics/BI
- Accounting

- timely and accurate forecasting
- workflow - efficient approval process for contracts, change orders, and invoicing
- Field Mobile Application - Different look and access for mobile use.
- Field - Meeting Minutes and daily log program. Years behind others
- Field - Just not user friendly
Production Tracking That Makes a Difference
- Track Production
- Track PCI

CMiC Construction Platform from a Project Engineer
- Organization.
- Approving of misc. invoices/sub invoices in workflow.
- Notifications.
- Making sense of billing to the owner.
- User interface.
- Ease of use for 3rd party design team/owners.
Good system but needs improvement
- The contract platform is user friendly and spits out the correct information.
- It is easy to pull reports in CMiC enterprise for cost.
- Easy to submit invoices for payment.
- CMiC needs to work on the very outdated labor transfer platform. It is so old and not user-friendly [in my opinion].
- [In my experience] there is a glitch that happens very often. You won't be able to log in if you don't close out all tabs and try to re-open the platform. Sometimes multiple times.
- The user face could be nicer and more professional.
Excellent business construction platform.
- Financial planning.
- Project management.
- This platform is well equipped with most suitable features.
Where everything comes together for construction projects
- Handling RFI's.
- Reporting Tools.
- Creating Workflows.
- Lacking an estimation function.
- Scheduling tools need some improvements.
- Needs optimization for older devices.
Integrated & Robust: CMiC for Construction Management
- Data collection & retention.
- Management process & intuitive interfaces.
- Robust and flexible accounting features.
- Implementation and training process.
- Bid management process.
- Use of all hardware platforms (MAC and PC).
Going great and hoping to use it even more in the future.
- The user interface is similar to that of other project management software applications so folks in our company that had previously used other applications have been able to switch over fairly easily.
- I really like the software and it was much less expensive than other applications.
- I like the mobile application so that our superintendents can view the documentation on their phones.
- I really like the punch list capability mobile field, however, we have a hard time getting our superintendents to use it for some reason.
- We have had issues with their support from time to time but recently they have been great.
- They have had quite a few times where the system and features have gone down or been available over the past year or two but before that, it was always good with no problems.
- I wish there was an easier way to customize all of the forms and reports and not have to only use Excel or Word MIP templates.
Great for cost tracking: Less great for project management
- Tracks contracts and change orders.
- Tracks owner changer orders.
- Supports monthly billing using AIA type documents.
- The platform is large so operation is pretty slow.
- Field management (daily reports, material tracking) is a little bulky and hard to use.
- Invoicing can be a little glitchy.
