Finally, there is a construction
software
package that is easy to learn,
simple to
use and powerful enough to manage
the entire
business. This package has been
a favorite
of construction professionals
since its introduction
in 1984. It fits small and medium
contractors
who seek control without information
overload.
Its clear and eye pleasing reports
say it
much better than any ad or brochure:
"I
am easy and I am useful!"
Judge for
yourself the enormous amount
of power you
get in a simple and hard working
Basic Builder®
package:
Full integration From invoice entry to job budgeting to financial
statements to customer time and material
billing, a single entry does it all.
Easily expandable Basic Builder®
lets you
start with the core modules of
Job Cost,
Accounts Payable and General
Ledger.
- Accounts Receivable can be added to bill
customers.
- Standard or Certified Payroll turns a chore
into a simple task even if you have only
a few employees.
- Progress Billing allows you to layout the
complete payment schedule and draw from the
owner as construction progresses.
-
Time & Materials Billing
makes cost plus
billing a breeze by preparing
the bill from
the job cost detail already
on file.
- WIPnet is the premier Internet jobsite that
can host your Basic Builder®
data to report to you anywhere
in the world.
- With Bid Team®, our estimating interface, you can create jobs with their budgets automatically.
The scheduling interface,cPM®, allows you to cost load data on a desktop
or PDA as well as import the latest dates
for all activities creating schedules for
you and your subs.
- Multi-User stations can be added anywhere
along the way.
And if this growth path is not enough, you
can upgrade to the more powerful
and comprehensive
Profit Builder® Millennium package that satisfies the most
demanding larger contractor.
Easy to Learn, Simple to Use Point and click and you're in. It's that
easy. The graphic interface in Basic Builder® is as beautiful as it is practical. "Cyber
surfers", those who are more experienced
in the ways of the Internet and the World
Wide Web, will recognize the advances built
into Basic Builder Windows immediately. The
icons and the hot spots are similar to those
used on the most advanced web site. The point
and click interface and the drag and drop
capability makes this so easy to begin and
such a snap to master, that even less experienced
computer users will become confirmed "Basic
Builder builders" in no time. Our best
estimate is one day, max. Many will get where
they want to be in much less time. "Easy"
is the operative word with Basic Builder®.
The easier a program is to use, the more
you'll use it and the more you'll get out
of it!
Learning Companion Documentation Straightforward, step-by-step instructional
manuals lead you through setup and normal
operation. The manuals are rich in example
and screen captures to clearly illustrate
daily and monthly procedures. You can learn
at your own pace without the requirement
to know accounting conventions. If you don't
know a debit from a credit, you will be at
home with this system. Once setup, the general
ledger account numbers auto-fill in most
entries. You charge the invoices and payroll
to jobs and the general ledger account numbers
auto-fill. It is the simple things that make
life easier: an automatic backup prior to
posting, fast restore when required, a calculator
button on entry menus to check math and on
and on. The more you look at Basic Builder®, the more you will be convinced that learning
the program is a fun experience.
GAAP With Full Audit Trails Generally accepted accounting procedures
are followed throughout the system. It is
an auditor's dream without being a bookkeeping
nightmare. What the auditor needs is already
there without effort; it is a by-product
of the system. Posting detail is kept by
month and can be printed or exported to spreadsheet
for use by your CPA. You don't even need
to know how it got there.
Open System Basic Builder® was developed with industry standard tools
(Microsoft Visual Basic) and data bases (Microsoft
Access) so that you can be assured of compliance
with standards. Third party developers and
client IT personnel have extracted and fed
data to Basic Builder® from a variety of custom applications. We
feel that the more you can use your data
the better you will like our software.
Export to Common Formats Every report can be sent to a word processing
or spreadsheet file (Excel, Word, Lotus,
etc). You can then modify the report or data
to suit you.
Customize Reports with Crystal The system uses Crystal Reports by Seagate
to produce all reports. Clients who purchase
the Crystal software package can modify the
reports to fit their needs. It does take
an experienced technical person to make these
types of changes. CDCI offers this as a service
if your company requires report modification.
Internet Reporting Considered by modern business authorities
as the required tool for profit in the near
future, the Internet is an integral part
of the growth path for Basic Builder®. Part of the project management collaborative
solution, WIPNet allows you to access your
Basic Builder® data
(with proper security clearance)
via reports
on the Internet. You can see
checks written,
costs posted, and profit/loss
statements
from any internet connection
as long as you
have the proper security clearance.
In addition
to the reporting, you can have
virtual jobsites
where you can assemble all contracts,
pictures
and correspondence about the
job. Your Owners
and other members of the construction
team
may access and add to this valuable
data.
CDCI is the only software developer
with
this leading edge product to
help you secure
clients.
