Construction Site Management for Home Builders & Condo Developers

Introduction
 

The H.O.M.E.S. Construction Site System is an optional component of the H.O.M.E.S. project management software system, designed to be used at construction site offices to provide access to information provided by the head office, as well as the sales office for the associated project, and to track the completion status of all work for each lot or unit.

The system provides a construction site office with real-time access to only the information pertinent to the construction process. Financial information collected by the main H.O.M.E.S. system is not displayed in the Construction Site System, since it is not considered pertinent or required by a construction department.

The H.O.M.E.S. Construction Site System also offers fully automated production scheduling to automatically generate the construction schedule, or re-schedule automatically when necessary.

The principle of the system is to maximize efficiency by ensuring construction site offices are kept connected and informed of all details pertaining to a project, as well as providing construction completion information back to head office, thereby helping to eliminate errors and omissions in the administration of construction.

System Requirements:
 
The system requirements for running H.O.M.E.S. are minimal especially for remote sales or construction site office clients (or local head office clients) using Remote Desktop to connect to head office, because H.O.M.E.S. does not have to be installed on the remote client computers.

Administration is also minimal even if clients are not using remote desktop at head office because typically upgrades are only necessary on the main file server. (We are happy to perform upgrades for you if temporary remote access is granted.)
