General Contractors & EPC Industry

The Four Pillars of GC & EPC success
Win the right bids, at the right margin
Estimating, historical job cost data, and pre-qualification tools give you a defensible number — fast enough to actually get the bid out the door.
Control subcontractor risk
Track compliance, insurance, lien waivers, and retainage for every sub on every job, with automated alerts before a gap becomes a claim.
Bill accurately, get paid faster
AIA-style pay applications, percent-complete billing, and change order tracking stay tied to real job cost — not a spreadsheet reconciled after the fact.
See risk before it's a write-off
Real-time WIP reporting across every active project, rolled up for the PM and the CFO on the same numbers.

Frequently asked questions
General contractor software typically centers on bidding, subcontractor management, and job costing for a single build phase. EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) firms need the same capabilities plus multi-phase project tracking, owner reporting, and often multi-currency or multi-site support for larger, longer-duration projects. CEM's platform covers both from the same Dynamics 365 foundation.
Yes. The platform includes certified payroll reporting and prevailing wage calculations for contractors working on public and government-funded projects, reducing what's typically a manual, error-prone reporting process.
Field time, materials, and change orders feed directly into project accounting in real time, so job cost reports reflect actual data rather than a month-end reconciliation. Project managers and finance see the same numbers at the same time.
Yes. The platform tracks subcontractor insurance, licensing, lien waivers, and retainage schedules per project, with alerts before a compliance gap turns into a payment delay or claim.
Timelines depend on company size and project complexity. CEM has completed 350+ Dynamics 365 implementations across construction and manufacturing in 19 countries; your specific timeline is scoped during a discovery call.
