Construction management tool review

about Software and Systems


Construction management tool review is about systems and software. We leverage our ability of getting timely information and review it for your information.

Accountability & profitability can make or break your business. Accountability in general requires a business package that can provide a quick snapshot of where your business is at, at any part of the day (or night?)

Now, does your staff really understand their performance in terms of time and profitability? And do you really know your performance - and that of your business?

I start the list with an obvious choice for consideration. This just came in and under our consideration.


BizCAT Designer

Note:
The 'CAT' in the name -- stands for Construction Administration Tools

This system is a business management tool designed by the CAT group and taylored specifically to the construction industry. It is suitable for Design Consultants by managing the job administration tasks such as communications tracking, time billing, drawing tracking etc. 

It is a construction management tool that provides an ordered system to manage the business -- and under one just umbrella. It is said to take care of the many administration items on your usual list:

  • Project Profitability Reporting / per project
  • Disbursement tracking
  • Time sheet tracking and billing
  • Communication Management, tracking incoming & outgoing correspondence, faxes and emails for each project individually and recorded to it’s own file
  • Site visits, site administration & project  management tracking and reports
  • Defects Liability tracking, administration and management
  • Drawing Tracking, Drawing revision tracking and Drawing distribution management
  • Centralised database for contacts
  • Communication & Documentation templates
  • Short form agreement template
  • Debtor and creditor controls
  • Budgeting Reports
  • Reduces Administration time  & information is more accurate
  • Faster response time to client enquiries on jobs

Information handling follows the one-touch policy: it is only entered once so duplication of effort is eliminated and administration time slashed.

The system is NOT an accounting system, it manages Operational information.  It keeps track of HOW the revenue is generated. It then can integrate with your legacy accounting system.

BizCAT is provided by CAT Group, which specialises in developing, distributing and supporting business management systems including construction managment tools specifically for the construction industry. Systems are designed by construction people for construction people.
