Questions

Does it replace Procore and QuickBooks together?

Yes. CMDBLD covers project management and a full double-entry general ledger in one platform, so most GCs replace both — and it still syncs two-way with QuickBooks or Xero if you want to keep your accountant’s workflow.

Is project management really to PMBOK standard?

Yes — stage gates with a recorded approval trail, a CPM schedule with baselines and critical path, a RACI matrix carried from the estimate, a risk register, and earned value (SPI/CPI).

Can I coordinate subs?

Yes. Invite subs to a bid room, level their numbers, and manage the portfolio — plus a built-in contractor network to find crews near a job.
