CMiC

i really liked my CMIC experince

Pros

The best thing about CMiC is the availability of integrated project management in the construction industry.

Cons

Implementing CMiC can be quite expensive, especially for smaller construction companies with limited budgets. The initial setup cost, ongoing maintenance fees, and training expenses may present financial challenges.

Great value & functionality if done right

Pros

It serves as a fully integrated single source of truth with the modules necessary for my tasks. Its incredibly powerful when planned and set up well, along with having an experienced internal resource to manage it.

Cons

The user interface could be improved but there are ample controls to tidy it up if you're familiar with them. The system is extensive and powerful, requiring years to master the controls and backend. Its worth investing in an experienced internal resource to gain the necessary knowledge before starting implementation. Attempting to fix the system later can be time-consuming and costly.

Lifesaver but with steep learning curve.

Pros

The CMiC software contains a huge number of tools. Because of this, the user experience is improved by the softwares capability for project teams to operate there simultaneously. This is helpful when you have a lot of subcontractors or project team members who all need to look at the same papers.

Cons

CMiC is a very useful tool but can also be a downer sometimes. To properly master the software, new users need to be ready to invest a significant amount of time studying all of its ins and outs.

CMiC Integration to Paycom

Pros

We are currently transitioning from CMiC to Paycom for Payroll and HR functions in the 4th quarter. I am seeking input from anyone who has gone through this integration. We have numerous questions and are struggling to find help in resolving certain Paycom issues.

Cons

I have decided to stick with CMiC for all our construction needs although we are shifting payroll and HR to Paycom.

The best integrated contract management tools, very suitable for construction projects

Pros

When utilizing a workflow management system like CMiC it ensures everyone is on the same page making it easier for them to contribute. The software can be customized to meet specific business requirements and plays a crucial role in coordinating team work. All project related documents such as subcontractor contracts, drawings, material requests, job requests, pour permits and change orders can be managed through one system. Thanks to CMiC, our project database is organized, ensuring no data is lost and information is readily accessible.

Cons

Personally I didn't encounter any issues while using CMiC. it was simple to comprehend and utilize for all project disciplines.

Works but lacks any real support

Pros

During the initial setup CMiC was in its prime. Many construction companies of our size were eager to have a similar solution.

Cons

The current CMiC version seems somewhat neglected. Its hard to obtain support for cases and lacks significant feature updates when they are released.

There are MUCH better options out there.............. did someone say PROCORE ?

Pros

Unfortunately based on my 4 years of daily use I have no positive feedback about this software.

Cons

Its very complicated for simple procedures. The same information has to be manually entered on every line of the same project. There are far too many drop down menus for inputting a basic value. It's not remotely user-friendly, and no cells are auto-populated. Everything must be entered multiple times, resulting in a significant waste of time.

CMiC - new user review

Pros

I like the results that can be achieved once all the data is entered. Although we have only been using the software for around 6 months the data entry process is quite extensive. We have obtained some valuable data so far but it has been time consuming.

Cons

We introduced CMiC in our company it was the replacement of QuickBooks in our department. We have had to request customizations from CMiC such as making estimates. While I don't believe its an ideal replacement for tasks like estimates, we are managing to make it work. Theres talk of reintroducing QuickBooks for certain functions.

Issues

Pros

Overall it functions well and gets the job done.

Cons

I frequently encounter issues and the software lacks standard payroll options like gross to net calculations. At times the system modules fail to communicate with each other.

CMiC - Finally we are Mobile

Pros

I love the Mobile Field app for our field users. It has a clean and straightforward interface that continues to improve. The drawings management module is excellent, surpassing anything we have used in the past especially when it comes to tracking different versions of drawings.

Cons

Honestly some of the things I wanted to "complain" about at the User Conference this year are already being addressed by CMiC. However I still think the placement of certain features doesn't quite make sense, but they are making progress. Additionally I wish I had more control over the appearance and generation of reports.
