Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

We currently use CMiC to manage contracts, budgets, submittals, RFIs, daily reports, and internal and external change orders between our subcontractors and owner. It is only being used by our construction department, not company wide. It does a decent job managing documents and costs, but it would be more beneficial if it could integrate with our accounting department's software. The organization of the platform is also not very user friendly. We don't have as much control as we would like.

Pros

  • Maintain submittals and RFI.
  • Updated ball-in-court reports.
  • Maintaining vendors.

Cons

  • Creating reports with selected change items.
  • Grouping certain changes into categories.
  • Integrating the budget with accounting software.
  • Low efficiency between departments.
  • Better document control.
  • Better project visibility.
I have used Kahua before, and I have heard good things about Procore. Our company had selected CMiC before I joined, and was the software used company-wide.
They are not the quickest to respond to a problem, and the solutions they provide aren't always the best. I had an issue with the software, which the software created as it was a glitch in the system, and the CMiC support was going to charge me to fix the issue that was created by the software itself. Instead of paying for this, which we shouldn't have to, I re-created the entire project I was working on.

Do you think CMiC Construction Platform delivers good value for the price?

No

Did CMiC Construction Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of CMiC Construction Platform go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy CMiC Construction Platform again?

No

It is well suited for the project management role, updating vendors and keeping track of the budget. It is great with keeping a log of daily activities and contract documents (RFIs, Submittals). However, it is not that great when you when to track real costs against the budget and determine how much money was actually spent.
