USING PMIS FOR SUBMITTALS
Most owners (69%) and contractors (84%) report
using a PMIS to handle submittals on at least half of
their projects.
SATISFACTION
Contractors in particular like using a PMIS for this
purpose, with 38% reporting being very satisfied
with it and another 30% reporting being satisfied.
While less likely to select the top rating, owners
still report strong satisfaction levels as well.
IMPACT OF DOUBLE ENTRY FOR SUBMITTALS
However, when using two systems, contractors still
struggle with productivity issues in their use of a
PMIS system for submittals. Over half also report
at least moderate impacts on the frequency of data
entry errors and the speed of decision-making that
results from duplicating their efforts on submittals.
