All in One Construction Management Software
As a project manager, you’re are probably well acquainted with the ever-growing collection of construction management tools. Perhaps you’ve used a number of them. Maybe you have a specific favorite to which you’ve pledged your allegiance. Let’s now understand what a construction management software should really provide:
Essential features of Construction Management Software
Construction Management Software (CMS) helps manage your projects from their initial concepts to their final completion. Since its birth, it has undergone several upgrades and further development, and has been strongly geared toward companies in the construction, transport, solar, and government sector.
CMS consists of a number of modules for tracking entire projects. They are:
- Overall Project Breakdown Structure
- Financial Controls
- Risk Assessment
- Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Hazard Identification (HAZID)
- Hazard Operability (HAZOP)
- Integrated Rating and Structured Auditing
- Events/Incident Logging, Reporting, and Investigation
- Action Tracking
- Document Control
- Resource Viewing
CMS provide comprehensive features, allowing you to effectively control and manage your projects. CMS’s WBS shows an easy to read hierarchical tree-type breakdown of activities and allows for statement of requirement (SoR), verification process, purchase order raising, progress tracking, supplier performance monitoring, and review process for every WBS element.
Its powerful action tracking capabilities allows you to drive projects by enabling the generation, tracking, addressing, and close out of actions. Its document action tracking is accessible in any of the modules, so whether your actions come as the result of audits, meetings, QHSE statistics, or HAZIDS, you can easily track the actions of your documents, assign priorities, and follow them up.
Its employee management features let you enter extensive data on your team members and other employees. Its risk management capabilities provide risk identification and assessment, failure modes effects analysis, risk control, HAZOD studies, and value engineering. There is also fast track input for your risks, FMEA, HAZOP, and HAZID details.
CMS is Integratable with any other systems and is compatible. It sits alongside MS Project, and while Project is used for visual representation of your project tasks and scheduling, CMS will incorporate the main elements of Project into its database to allow you to generate and adjust a Project timeline.
Construction Management Software offers strongly detailed modules for better project execution. There are a number of interesting features that aren’t readily apparent. If Impact can see forward to streamline it, make it more user-friendly and easier to use, then this is one software you could really get a lot of use from.
