Hi Jose,
Excellent article on the top 5 construction management software. The need for embracing a construction management software is paramount for the AEC industry in this day and age. Choosing the right ‘construction management software’ can make a sea of difference to a company’s revenue and thereby make a lasting impact on the company’s bottom-line.
A CMS brings with it myriad of benefits which includes full project autonomy, ensuring high speed and seamless document sharing, ensuring document access anytime, from anywhere and through any type of device, involving your team comprehensively, reducing document access downtime, removing the hassle of creating annotation and linking documents manually, making it easier to maintain document versions, increasing portability, reducing inconvenience of document archiving and maintenance, providing user access hierarchy etc.
Not all of the above listed software have all of these features. Hence, it would seem feasible to include a sixth member in the top 5 club. That sixth member is “SKYSITE” which includes all the features of the above mentioned software as well as a lot more.
In this regard I would like to share one of my recently published research paper on LinkedIn to support my claim. Here is the link.. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-construction-management-software-can-increase-roi-dutta.

Hi. I’m trying to help bring my family business into the new age. I’m having trouble determining what software is good for what our business does. We work for leading property management company who owns several hundred properties up and down the east coast, we do all the upgrades and renovations for their units being turned over for new renters. Mostly kitchen and bathroom upgrades but also exterior bldg repair, HVAC, electrical, etc. I need project management, invoices, vendor delivery scheduling, employee tracking etc. Basically a better way to manage and track work being done. My parents don’t want any loud based software and I’m struggling to find a fit. I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you.

Hi ramakrishnan,I agree with you this was a wonderful information you have shared on this age about the top 5 construction projects with the help of best software but The construction project manager specifies objectives and plans, maximizes resource efficiency, implements various operations, and develops communication and mechanisms, among others.

The market is getting competitive and so modern decision-makers are going to have many challenges. A good tool should support decision-makers in various ways.
