About 30 years ago eSUB originated as an off shoot of a consulting firm who represented Specialty Contractors to create construction claims for retroactive payment for work they had already performed.
Managing project documents back then was inefficient, subject to mistakes and omissions. The familiar way was to manually update multiple programs: Word, highly coveted Excel spreadsheets populated with special fields honed over time, email, and maybe a calendar program to set reminders for follow up. This manual process was subject to costly mistakes, one misplaced document could have meant the difference between success and failure.
As construction industry business consultants eSUB stepped into online Project Management Software, using the retroactive processes, technological expertise, and proper documentation necessary to support construction claims built onto the front end of eSUB’s project software to create Breakthrough Project Management.
Best Business Practices were automatically built into our comprehensive online Construction Management Software by properly documenting the job proactively throughout the course of the project. eSUB became the best strategy to avoid claims and eliminate disputes about work performed. Communicating with the General Contractor in a timely manner and sending notifications when the job reached outside the original Scope of Work, took the controversy out of negotiating change orders.
eSUB then took all those procedures and automated them through best practices of computer technology which at the time used to be called (ASP) Application Service Provider, which today we would call a cloud, web-based or online system.
We’ve utilized the power of web-based technology for over a decade using (SaaS) Software as a Service residing on servers that are remote. The Benefit: the delivery system. Anyone on your team can access data from anywhere, at any time, from any device:
- Desktop
- Tablet
- PC
- iPad
- Smart phone
- Netbook
Today, with Cloud-based technology and eSUB’s automated documentation process, more time can be spent on the actual job and quality performance. You can create, log, and track all your projects and manage paperless projects remotely online. Rest assured with eSUB’s multiple backup systems in place your data is encrypted and protected.
Accessing eSUB’s Online Construction Management Software doesn’t require a lot of memory and it’s not necessary to load software or maintain expensive servers. Your entire team can work on the same paperless project 24/7 with continuous real-time updates.
eSUB made it possible to easily and flawlessly track multiple jobs and all associated costs. Increased efficiency and supporting documents available on-demand eliminates the inevitable ‘Catch 22’ situation: too busy performing the work to stay on top of manual updates to the documentation necessary to get paid or too much time spent on office paperwork sacrificing time required to effectively over see the details of the project on the job site.
