Construction Software: Leveraging the Management Process

I foud this aticle on builder space.com and thought it was interesting as a am doin a computer subject this year. The article basically talked about the necessity of these programs such as autocad, archicad and microstations and cash flow programs.

Construction software allows users to create accurate, personalized documents such as proposals, estimates, budgets, CPM (Critical Path Management) schedules, and invoices. At the same time, it allows for better management of the sales process, including lead tracking, call backs, appointments, and the documentation of conversations. With scheduling integrated into estimating, cash flow requirements can be easily determined before the project begins. This allows the user to better determine when a project is ahead of schedule or, on the other hand, behind schedule. Shop drawings, and architectural drawings can also be created to the most pricise degree making the client and all involved in the project happy.

In the end, construction software can help companies improve their bottom line through cost savings, the realization of additional revenue opportunities, and a more proffessional and accurate bussiness.
