e-Builder – Making construction management easier by digitally transforming project delivery and asset resilience through modernized technology

Instead of technology, construction companies use endless stacks of paperwork and multiple computers and files to attempt to stay on top of projects. Unfortunately, this leads to miscommunications, failed projects, and unhappy customers time and time again. But it doesn’t have to be this way for the construction industry. A cloud-based construction management software can solve all of these problems. The processes for cloud-based construction management involve a shift in strategy and mindset toward managing projects collaboratively in the cloud. This shift in focus helps companies make cloud-based construction projects run smoother.

e-Builder is a cloud-based, construction program management solution for capital projects that delivers trusted insight into performance across the entire project lifecycle. Facility owners improve project outcomes by streamlining business processes and centralizing project information. Business intelligence provides on-demand forecasts for informed decisions, improved change control and fewer unwanted surprises.

Leveraging solutions That Connect Construction at Every Stage

Construction Cost Management Software: As a capital improvement project owner, you account for costs differently than your contractors or project managers. Using e-Builder’s project cost management capabilities provides you with control over the budget and funds based on accurate, data-driven forecasting. Keep costs down by keeping change order approvals in the software with electronic signatures. Know who you are paying, how much, and when. Quickly toggle between different currencies and provide real-time project updates with their multi-currency cost feature. Know your cash flow expectations and when contractors, consultants, engineers, and architects need to get paid. As an owner, accurately tracking your funds can advance contingency reserve plans, or serve up greater profit margins sooner rather than later. Great leadership can happen when you take control of your budget with construction budgeting software. Rest easy knowing your finances are secure, your payments are going to the right contractors at the right time, and all financial tasks can be completed remotely and updated across all systems with our seamless cloud integrations.

Document Management Software: e-Builder’s construction document management system is role-based—encouraging accountability and transparency at all levels of project contribution. With advanced tracking and collaborative features stored in a digital environment, owners are able to reduce their risk by involving the entire project team in the document approval and management process. Digitally store and organize all your documents, drawings, and contracts in the cloud. By providing appropriate permissions to stakeholders or contractors, documents are easily accessible in the office or from the field. As an owner, it is prudent to understand historical changes, whether or not that change was implemented on the jobsite, and documented appropriately. Automatically track these changes to know who changed what, and when. Use this document management system to track it all, from anywhere.

Construction Workflow Software: Every process requires a workflow—think of the construction workflow as the engine that powers the process and keeps it on the appropriate trajectory to move seamlessly from one part of the project to the next. With e-Builder Enterprise, build construction workflows to meet your business needs—not the other way around. Whether it's an RFI, design review, change order, invoice or payment, workflow contributors can easily login to e-Builder and pinpoint where the process is within the workflow. Impacts of the processes within a workflow can change the trajectory of a project—schedules get automatically updated when a workflow results in an impact to the delivery date of your project. Logs, cost sheets, reports, and associated documents are all captured in real-time and stored electronically.

Process Improvement: When all the data is consolidated, there’s no need to track down paper versions of documents. The field data is in the system alongside the office project data, and comes together to paint the picture of the health of the entire project. Throughout the construction life cycle, every activity related to design, bid, and build requires a unique process or workflow. With e-Builder Enterprise, design reviews, requests for information (RFI), change orders, invoices, and payments can be customized, and have specific stakeholders who are required to give approval and review. Standard reports are created throughout any process, providing insight to project managers and owners regarding potential schedule delays or cost impacts. The document management system is capable of accurately managing the length of time a submittal is sitting with the workflow approver.
