Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

We primarily use CMiC Construction Platform for budget and cost management on the project side and particularly value how those modules are linked with accounting. Basically everyone in the office uses it for those two overarching purposes. I know for the PMs, we use it to generate subcontracts and change orders, pay applications, and project forecasting. Field staff is limited to invoice approvals and daily reports.
  • Direct link between project management and accounting
  • Report functions (subcontracts, change orders, pay apps, etc.)
  • Cost Status Query provides excellent overview of projects
  • Cost & accounting are great, but other PM functions are lacking (document controls, daily reports, etc)
  • Last I checked the mobile app isn't there yet
  • Improved workflows between teams
  • Limits paper processing
  • Improved forecasting
CMiC is a better database and talks to the accounting side. Procore is apparently better with field apps and more user friendly.
Training was thorough and pretty decent. Help desk response times pretty good and helpful.
