Bio
Evans Chaffee Construction Group is a mid-size contractor in Colorado’s Vail Valley. It aims to win work that best fits the company, so its workload fluctuates as a result. In some years, the company completes $20M in commercial and high-end residential projects; in other years, it completes up to $40M.
“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.” – Michele Evans, Vice President/CFO, Evans Chaffee Construction Group.
The Challenges
Evans Chaffee tried a number of software platforms, but some lacked the tools necessary for efficient project management, while others were missing the capabilities required for accurate accounting—and none were able to support the back office and the field as one holistic operation.
Evans Chaffee needed a platform to manage billing efficiently.
Some vendors seemed uninterested in enhancing their products or lacked the customer service and support required for a fully integrated deployment.
