CMiC Construction Platform is a good software for a one stop shop so to speak. We are very happy with the ability to do all of our project management functions like budgeting, cost reporting, subcontract and change order management, billing, etc. It is also a highly functioning accounting software. Previously we were using procore and viewpoint and the ERP was not always seemless so it is nice to have everything in one place. There are a lot of places where we can import and export data which makes life easier in many respects.

CMiC is a robust platform best suited for large companies with resources for implementation and management of the program. One analogy is CMiC is like a droid phone where the user must decide how to use all the features of the program (as opposed to an iPhone where most configuration decisions are made for the user). Smaller companies with limited resources can struggle with CMiC both with the expense and configuration.

In my opinion, expect to invest a lot of money and time in getting the program up and running. Staff shortages are significant so implementation and resolution of issues is slow and frustrating. In my experience, upgrades haven't been smooth as daily operations are stopped until fixes are applied. Also, in my experience, integrations with third-party software, like Kofax, are problematic.
I have found that it's a several year process to get the programing going. I think, if it wasn't for the regular glitches the overall concept is commendable.

If you have more than 3 jobs running at once this is the ideal product, if you are only doing one or two jobs a year than I would look elsewhere as it might be overkill. However if you are looking to expand without taking on a lot of new staff this product can help with that.

In my opinion, CMiC Construction Platform is not well-suited for companies unwilling to dedicate overly patient full-time people to supporting it. In my opinion, CMiC Construction Platform is not well-suited for companies unprepared to spend more than originally expected to implement and support it. In my opinion, CMiC Construction Platform is generally more appropriate for large companies in the ENR top 100 willing to deal with long wait times and not worried about the cost. In my opinion, having a programmer on staff is necessary, but it is almost impossible to find one.

CMiC is well suited for companies that have can integrate multiple departments with it. For example, we do not have to share cost status with our financial department—they have real-time access to it. This ensures that departments are retrieving real-time information and prevents a lag or misinformation between departments. CMiC would not be suitable for an organization that does not heavily depend on project management, with cost and document management being crucial parts of the business. For a financial-only company, CMiC has a very simple system and is not the best when creating reports for finances.

CMiC Construction Platform brings a good amount of horsepower for the program's cost. It definitely lacks some of the additional tools of more expensive products and is not the most user-friendly. However, once you learn the ins and outs, it can be a good asset.

CMiC Construction Platform maintained a focus on automating functions – such as enterprise planning, human capital management, and asset management, field operations, project management & controls, and collaboration. Project information is on a real-time basis, so all information is always complete and accurate and this is the reason construction firms can keep multiple projects running smoothly, and on time, while better controlling their projects.

  • 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.

CMiC Construction Platform works great as an all-in-one solution. However, due to the fact that CMiC can do so many things well other programs that specialize in just one thing are oftentimes a little cleaner or more polished. The thing that has helped our company the most is being connected to the cloud. We are able to work from home, on the road, or in the field. Our connectivity with our field superintendents has never been better. They are able to see updated sub-lists, submittals, RFIs in real-time, not needing to rely on the project managers to either print or email the documents to them. For the price, there isn't a better all-in-one solution on the market.

CMiC Construction Platform continues to work out "kinks" and become more users friendly, however, the glitches are the largest pain point. Especially during late east coast afternoons when the entire continent is active.

This is well suited for larger organizations that have sufficient internal resources to test, train and deploy. It is critical to have internal support resources and not rely on CMiC [Construction Platform] as primary support.

If you are looking for a natively integrated ERP platform built specifically for the Construction Industry, then CMiC is for you. There are many other solutions out there, but only a handful that integrates financials into project management. The advantage of this is that you get real-time, accurate financial data along with Project Management without the need for 3rd party integrations.

CMiC Project Management is a web-based database for project management. My team used it for tracking RFIs, submittal package approvals, safety issues in the field, and mainly billings. My project team was the first team at our company to formally use CMiC Project Management for 100% of the owner billings, instead of partially outside the system (excel) as previously project teams used. My lead PM ran into a lot of issues and glitches with this aspect of CMiC Project Management.

I can highly recommend CMiC Construction Platform to any organization for planning, project management, and overall business management. We have built our business foundation effectively from the help of this great product on proper decision making. Empowering our staff is very by giving them the right roadmap and financing them to deliver the best results.

CMiC Construction Platform excels in dealing with tasks that are related to the construction sites in the core. For example, CMiC Construction Platform gathers all Requests for Information (RFI's) of the project in a single centralized location. This allows the engineers to have better follow up on these RFI's especially when multiple RFI's are connected. On the other hand, when it comes to variation orders (VO's) the program has a slight disadvantage when compared to other alternatives.

This software is appropriate when you're looking for a completely integrated ERP for the construction management process—multiple projects across multiple vendors and collaborators. It is less appropriate for trade contractors who don't have the burden of managing multiple subcontracts, or multiple collaborators, and would be overkill for their typical construction process.
