“We needed a platform that would consolidate, standardize, integrate and automate, which CMiC has demonstrated with their impressive customer roster, proven R&D track record and unparalleled industry expertise.”
"PARIC Corporation, founded in 1979 and based in St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the largest privately held companies in the Midwest. PARIC prides its self on being the St. Louis general contractor, construction manager and design-build firm.With our previous software we used considerable time trying to communicate data across the organization. At Paric, we view technology and an enabler, not a driver. CMiC has been very instrumental in streamlining Paric’s Construction Management process by allowing all necessary logs and reports, such as Submittals, RFI’s and Change Orders to be maintained by one software package. It has reduced Field Management time by approximately 25%. CMiC precision and accuracy has reduced the possibly of human error. We looked at our own processes and asked ourselves what system will grow with us? CMiC was the only one that met all of our needs."
"Before partnering with CMiC, operations were highly fractured and siloed, with significant variation between individual offices and job sites. CMiC has brought everything under just one umbrella, forced a lot of good discussions within the company, and facilitated a hastened change toward centralization across regions and offices at Pankow."
“The drag/drop functionally with emails is extremely useful! With the number of e-mails and attachments that come in, it can take a lot of management - CMiC has saved us a lot of time.”
"Before CMiC – Accounting & project management were handled via a series of different systems that were independent of each other. It was very clumsy and not integral at all. Budget tracking was loose and reporting was poor. Now our costs are tracked with great detail, executive level management has detailed reporting at their fingertips 24/7 & we now have a solid commercial foundation that we can depend on for future growth indefinitely."
“So now with this commitment to have CMiC be the foundation and have it be integrated with other peripheral applications, the sky is the limit a little bit, because now it’s just a matter of how do we leverage the data and the infrastructure that CMiC offers and provide leading, cutting-edge, best-in-breed hybrid solutions. That just depends on which area we want to focus on next. Whether it’s mobility or visualization, 3D visualization through integration with VM tools, we just want to be able to present all of the data we have from CMiC through those multiple interfaces.”
"Our goal is to streamline the dataflow and CMiC dashboard it a tool to help implement this process. Each project supervisor has access to key pieces of information which allows them to manage by exception. It makes us more efficient. With our previous software we used considerable time trying to communicate data across the organization. Our investment in CMiC has and continues to pay off."
"CMiC’s software has put Govan Brown at a distinct advantage. CMiC is a differentiator for us, it has put us three to four years ahead of the competition."
“Before beginning to partner with CMiC, operations were highly fractured and siloed, with significant variation between individual offices and job sites. I think CMiC has driven greater focus in the company, much of it through executive process change. People did not really have an option – or they do not any longer – to use some of the systems they did in the past. CMiC has brought everything, ideally, under just one umbrella, forced a lot of good discussion within the company, and facilitated a hastened change toward centralization across regions and offices at Pankow.”
“Switching to CMiC was the right decision. CMiC’s technology stack and underlying structure allows us to get at data faster and mine the data in ways we were never able to do before.”
“We’d have all these jobs going along and going along and then all of sudden the profit would fade and no one would really know why without some in-depth analysis. But, with these tools that CMiC offers us, it’s so much easier. We can spot trends ahead of time, and take standard action or corrective action on them. Again, we’re labor intensive and self-perform so we track the productivity – unit productivity – weekly, we have special reports that do that for us. So it’s really helped us.”
"Before DocuSign, everything was done by a person going back and forth with subcontractor or subcontractor admin. Now it’s all online and anyone can see it. It’s more transparent than ever."
"We went with CMiC because we wanted a system which was fully integrated, everything in one, no building bridges. Also, CMiC came to us without pretense, just two executives in casual dress who made us feel at home. The competition brought 8-10 guys in suits. The other companies were too formal which was very overwhelming. CMiC showed confidence without the bells and whistles, relying on their product instead of the glitz surrounding it. We felt like we were joining a family, and still do."
"I wanted to go fast with implementation, and CMiC wasn’t sure what to expect. I wanted them to keep up with me—and they did. Our lead implementation consultant [Aaron] was just outstanding. I now feel like I’m family with the support team. I’ve never met them, but out of all the software providers we’ve worked with, they made me feel truly supported and like we were in this together."
"We started with CMiC in 2004. Operations back then, it was a lot of big pads and No. 2 pencils. We had a green screen system called "Coins" and it wasn't very usable out in the field. We didn't have good connectivity between the systems. That was a bit painful to not be able to get into the system from the job site. A lot of what was done was paper, and then brought into the office - or mailed into the office through U.S. Mail - and then entry was actually done in the corporate office."
