Started inside the work
CMIS began as an internal tool for federally funded construction projects where the documentation had to be complete, searchable, and ready for review.
About CMIS
Built for construction management by construction managers.
Construction Management Enterprises, DBA CMIS, builds web-based construction management software for public agency owners and the teams responsible for the daily record. CMIS came from the work itself: field reports, review logs, pay support, closeout files, and the pressure of making every entry stand on its own later.
Why we exist
Every project gets reviewed after the work is done.
A street rehabilitation, bridge widening, storm drain, facility improvement, or right-of-way permit may be judged months or years later by funding partners, leadership, auditors, residents, or legal teams. The people creating the record every day decide whether that review is calm or painful.
CMIS was created to help those teams keep the record complete while the project is moving, without turning the software into another thing they have to fight.
Formalized as CME
Construction Management Enterprises, DBA CMIS, was formed to bring that practical project-record discipline to more public agency teams.
Improved from real use
The product continues to grow from field feedback, agency review needs, and the everyday pressure of keeping active project records moving.
How we work
Practical implementation, not software theater.
CMIS is deployed around the way project teams actually operate: configure the system, train the right people, and stay close enough to improve what matters.
Start with the agency workflow
Implementation begins with how the team already routes records, reviews work, and manages project responsibility.
Configure before inventing
CMIS is already running in production, so rollout focuses on setup, roles, data, and practical fit instead of starting from a blank page.
Train by role
Stakeholders, inspectors, engineers, managers, and administrators learn the parts of the system that match their work.
Keep improving the core
When agencies identify a better way to handle a real project need, CMIS turns that lesson into a stronger platform.
What guides us
The best construction software becomes part of the work, then gets out of the way.
CMIS is intentionally shaped around public project delivery: enough structure to protect the record, enough clarity for teams to learn quickly, and enough flexibility to reflect how an agency actually operates.
The record belongs to the agency
Project information should remain organized, exportable, and useful at mid-project review, closeout, audit, or public records request.
Simple has to be serious
The software should feel approachable to field and office teams while still supporting the controls public work requires.
Adoption matters more than theater
A system only protects the project if people actually use it. CMIS is designed so teams can move from training to productive work quickly.
Construction Management Enterprises
Small enough to stay close to the work. Focused enough to keep improving it.
CMIS keeps implementation, training, support, and product feedback connected to the people who understand the platform and the construction records it protects.
