Executive Summary
Construction management software (CMS) continues to grow in strategic importance as project owners, developers and general contractors target greater productivity, cost efficiency and accountability in construction workflows. While the market is still maturing, the diversity of offerings – from solutions targeted at small-scale residential projects to integrated lifecycle platforms tailored to megaprojects – can make vendor selection complex. This guide profiles eight key providers and offers analysis of 34 vendors to help buyers navigate the landscape. Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals, as well as project owners and developers, can use this report to identify CMS solutions that best align with their strategic priorities, whether they are focused on project-level needs such as maintaining documentation for claims defence, or long-term operational goals, for example, strengthening enterprise data governance and retaining institutional knowledge.About the Authors
