Construction Management Software

This application implements the different phases of Construction process according to American Construction Industry standards, all phases of this system can be grouped into following sections i.e. Estimating, Project Management, Financial, Document management and Mail system. Estimating phases involved Estimates, Take off, Recapitulation, Summary and Buyout. Project Management involved RFI, Submittals, Change Order (Owner & Sub vendor). Each of these phases required complex UI structures, data grids and calculations for manipulating data at the business logic and database level; saving and retrieving changes from the Database. The user-friendly interfaces were implemented to increase productivity and efficiency making it easier to use complex UI structures. System also generated reports with financial data. The system security process enabled Users to use their Existing Active Directory (AD) structure or to use the custom Authentication system within the Application. The mail system dealt with the Microsoft exchange server (2003/2007) integration, each of the modules above were clearly divided, designed so as to ensure the smooth flow of the entire process. Performance is key issue as large no of users access the system and at the same time database is huge.

Mindfire was involved in understanding and implementing domain specific work process in to the application. Complete the Database design for the application and designing the architecture of the entire system. Active Directory Integration, Exchange Server 2003/2007 Integration were also two major parts of the project. Mindfire is also responsible for providing support and maintenance of the developed system.
