Construction projects span facility types-from office complexes and retail stores, to distribution centers, medical systems, sports and recreation facilities, and many more. Successful projects are measured by their costs, schedules, and quality. Understanding costs in real time is critical to timely decisions that improve total installed cost. At the same time, real-time visibility into contracts and change orders allows the project and program manager to control scope. Time is of the essence for these projects, and delays are often caused by lengthy cycle times in routing, reviewing, and approving forms and documents. The lack of document management systems and revision controls often lead to field errors and errors in installations, ultimately leading to either costly re-work or the facility not meeting the original requirements.

Unifier™ for Engineering & Construction

Skire Unifier™ has been proven by hundreds of commercial construction project teams to effectively automate and optimize business processes, including design reviews, RFIs, submittals, action items, change orders, cost and schedule control, RFPs, and many more. Unifier™ eliminates sending RFIs through email, sending CAD files via courier, forecasting costs in Excel, faxing purchase orders, and hunting down schedule files from Microsoft Project or Primavera. With Unifier™, all of these processes and associated information is available to teams from a centralized, easy-to-use, Web-based system. A strong, flexible cost control system combined with document control, process automation, and visibility into all aspects of operations results in lower costs, accelerated schedules, and improved quality.
