5 4 Essentials to Consider When Choosing Construction Project Management Software
If you don't have an integrated construction project management system, each stakeholder's
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system often becomes the default mode for managing
change-related costs. Multiple ERPs lead to a multiplicity of issues. With separate, disconnected
systems, you could be duplicating data or storing it in different ways. This can make the data hard
to find, leading to project delays, cost overages and dwindling profits. If you're relying on disparate,
manual construction cost management processes and using separate ERPs to track changes, you
cannot achieve the truly collaborative, unified approach needed to manage your projects on time
and on budget.
A single source of truth is the key to efficient and effective construction cost management. When
all project team members and outside contractors can easily access project information from an
integrated construction project management program, they can easily collaborate to keep the
project running smoothly. With the right construction project management software, you can
complete your projects to expectations every time because you can rely on one view for tracking
budgets that will help you keep the project timeline. What's more, a comprehensive project
management program stores records related to change processes and provides an audit trail
throughout the entire change process, allowing you to build on today's success to refine your
processes for the future.
