Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

CMiC has been implemented company-wide. We are primarily a CM (Construction Management) company. We use this for all aspects of our company from time entry, accounting, project management, document management, submittals, etc. Its main benefit is that it's able to handle the financials and project management aspects in one system.
  • Tracking of RFI's and submittals.
  • Tracking of PCI's and SCO's.
  • Tracking current budget costs and how much is left to spend.
  • The reports generated from CMiC are bulky and often do not show what is desired. There is a need to create custom reports for many things.
  • The mobile field apps have a ton of problems and crash often. They are user-friendly but do not function consistently.
  • Browsing through documents on a desktop is rather clunky and not very smooth.
  • It allows for better communication between costs and linking them directly to the issues that caused that cost.
  • As long as the users are keeping things up to date, it allows for an accurate view of the project in real-time.
  • All users are always working off the same information. However, the users need to maintain that information through protocols to make sure it is accurate.
The support portal is often down and it is difficult to get a live support technician on the phone to work through problems. Construction is a business that values time immensely and having to wait several days or hours to resolve an issue is not beneficial. It would be helpful to have a quicker response time and a different style of support, such as screen sharing or similar, to go through the issue in live time.

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

Did implementation of CMiC Construction Platform go as expected?

No

Would you buy CMiC Construction Platform again?

Yes

Works well for a company that wants a system that combines financial and project management in one system. However, the support system for CMiC is not great and the system takes a knowledgeable user to set it up for the company and to have as a point of contact and training for other users. You will need to invest time in a group of knowledgeable users as well as outside training to make sure the system is being used correctly.
