The Right Tools
There are plenty of off-the-shelf project management systems out there, but we've never had a one-size-fits-all mentality. We designed our in-house system, Chapman Projects, to fit our precise needs, applying the same attention to detail that you'll find on our jobsites. Why go to all that trouble? Because choosing the right tool is the first step in getting any job done right.
Integrated Information
From bids to RFIs to PCOs, Chapman Projects brings together information from an array of sources and puts it at our project managers' fingertips. By combining the functions of several programs into one interface, Chapman Projects allows our staff to spend more time managing projects, and less time managing data.
Scheduling & Resource Management
One of our greatest strengths is our nimbleness, our ability to take on fast-track projects and bring them in on time. To have this kind of success, you have to manage your manpower well, and Chapman Projects helps us do just that. By combining project and personnel data, Chapman Projects allows us to forecast our long-term manpower needs, while also allowing us to shift resources quickly when needed.
Flexibility Comes Standard
Because Chapman Projects is our own system, it grows and changes with our business. We're constantly refining it and adding new features, and we're never hamstrung by someone else's idea of project management. And with our in-house development capabilities, we can even create project-specific applications, ensuring that we always have the right tool for every job.
Connected Everywhere
Every construction manager faces the challenge of maintaining seamless communication between the office and the field. Our site supervisors, outfitted with laptops, digital cameras, and high-speed wireless cards, access Chapman Projects via the Web and stay in constant e-mail contact with our project managers. This way, everyone stays on the same page, decisions are made faster, and potential problems are avoided.
