Your One-Stop Solution to Construction Document Management

Provide Project Team Members With Access to the Most Up-to-Date Project Information

A robust construction document management system (CDMS) provides project team members instant access to the most up-to-date construction project documentation. This streamlines processes and communications, critical in improving project progress and outcomes across construction teams. Direct access to construction data helps prevent delays and supports better decision-making in every stage of a construction process.

The Problem: Manual Document Management and Retrieval

Manually retrieving, organizing, and managing construction documentation is not only time-consuming, but it also increases the risk of project delays and leads to sub-par version control, as well as unreliable financial reporting due to misplaced or outdated information. For construction companies, this can result in inaccurate project documentation and cost overruns.

The Solution: Robust Document Control with CMiC's Construction ERP

CMiC's Drawing & Construction Documents application offers a centralized location for construction document management. This document management system integrates all your project-related documents – from architectural drawings to specifications for industrial facilities – into one secure and accessible repository. This eliminates the need for paper documentation and streamlines workflows, enabling better control over all aspects of construction project management. The use of cloud-based tools ensures easy access and retrieval, reducing the time spent searching and enhancing productivity.
