   Maggie Geoffroy CDCI 1-800-285-3929 maggie@cdci.com http://www.cdci.com CDCI Donates Accounting and Estimating Sofware to Habitat for Humanity ATLANTA, GA- August 25, 2000- Construction Data Control, Inc. (CDCI), designer and developer of construction management software, recently donated accounting and estimating software donation for the nonprofit building organization, Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is a non-government, nonprofit, organization that specializes in building low income housing for stable and hardworking families in over 60 countries. CDCI's software offers Habitat the ability to save a substantial amount of money, which can be directed at housing more needy families. Habitat for Humanity acquires all its financing needs from Church's and corporations. Habitat then determines housing based on need and they target balanced families that lack the funds for housing. Tony Eyle, Construction Manager for Habitat for Humanity, is North Fulton (GA) states that the primary use for CDCI's Basic Builder and BasicEst software is to help organize both Habitat's estimating home costs and infrastructure costs to determine where they are currently losing money. Eyl adds that Habitat's great need for our software comes from the fact that their land costs are higher and harder to determine because they build on different types of land. They also have to work around obstacles such as sewer and storm lines. CDCI software will help with this problem by determining costs and construction factors up front, so that there are no surprises during the building cycle. Eyl also states that costs became greater that anticipated and that they were spending more money than they were receiving because they had no professional estimating software and all their estimates were made in approximations. According to Eyl, "even though Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit housing administration, the nuts and bolts of its construction must still be run like a business. Properly estimating costs is the key to assuring that Habitat will effectively maintain its goal of sustaining housing in the North Fulton area." Eyl adds that because all their funding comes from sponsors in "good faith," that they have a greater need and responsibility to save money. CDCI's professional and accounting software makes saving money and achieving their goals possible for Habitat for Humanity. Corporate and church donations such as our software packages are critical to the success of Habitat.
