Most construction cost management Software is written for General Contractors to manage their construction contracts—NOT the project Owner. As the Owner you rarely have direct access to the GC's data and, while their contract may represent the largest share of your project costs, their software neither integrates with nor allows you management of ALL of your project budgets, contracts and costs.
CAMS™ was written specifically for Owners of large, complex construction projects to manage multiple projects, subprojects, detailed budgets, unlimited contracts with as many different vendors and insurance requirements, thousands of change documents and the related cash flow. It is a browser-based, user-friendly, award winning interface to a powerful database.
