Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

Every employee whether in the central office or in the field uses CMiC. We utilize the Field side with our field team, and our office staff uses mostly the enterprise/professional side. Every aspect of the job is contained in CMiC, including design, pre-construction, construction, and all financials.
  • Job Billing customization
  • Financial Queries
  • Financial Reporting
  • New R12 Menus in Field side do not sort correctly
  • Version updates
  • Prepare Billing Module often does not sync well with other parts of CMiC it pulls data from
  • Increased Cost Tracking
  • More Overhead Cost
  • Collaboration Issues with Owners Reps
I have only used CMiC. I did not work in construction prior to starting with Straticon. I have used other enterprise software in different sectors and I feel it stacks up pretty well.
We have opened a lot of tickets with them and they still answer them for us, so for that we are thankful.

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

Yes

Are you happy with CMiC Construction Platform's feature set?

Yes

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?

Yes

Some of our field staff have a hard time effectively using CMiC. It does not seem to always be the most user-friendly and has a semi-steep learning curve. Our office staff who use it every day constantly know it is powerful software, but the field is usually put off by the UI or redundancy we have to implement to make sure everything is contained within CMiC.
