Nine Questions: Construction Software

Do several comparisons before choosing your construction software. First, define what you most need: project cost estimator, accounts receivable/payable, employee, or equipment tracking? Identify where you need to save time and money. If you are out of control in one or more areas of business operations, make a “where-we’re-losing-it” list.

You don’t have to be an IT (integrated technology) pro, but if you yourself don’t understand the questions, do your homework (or consult the nearest 14-year-old kid). Here are nine questions to ask software vendors:

1. Can I contact some of your customers?
2. Can you help us with training and technical support?
3. Did you develop the solution in-house or did you piece it together from other sources?
4. Does your software integrate with my old software?
5. How often will I have to “upgrade?”
6. Is your software open-source or unified?
7. What’s the cost of ongoing service and technical support?
8. Will my – and my clients’ – information be secure?
9. Will the construction software quickly adapt to industry trends?
