Owners, Contractors and Design organizations have different needs and require different
capabilities in their construction management software. For example, owners typically are
looking for program management software that is designed to cover the entire project lifecycle
including capital planning, design, procurement, construction and facility commissioning.
In contrast, contractors often are looking for solutions that manage the process of pre-
construction, construction and close-out. To date, no single solution has been able to meet the
requirements of each party and the technology vendors have specialized solutions for each
stakeholder.
Don't be fooled by software vendors that position a single software application as being able
to meet the requirements of the owner, designer, contractor and specialty contractor. Why
is this so important? Owners seek to deliver projects on-time, on-budget, and within scope
while minimizing changes. Contractors in contrast seek to deliver the project on-time, with
profit and are flexible to changes provided they are adequately compensated. These divergent
requirements drive specialized features that would be in conflict with one another if they were
in the same software solution.
