City of Tacoma Chooses Projectmates Construction Management Software for Capital Improvement Projects
July 15, 2010 — Today, Systemates announced the City of Tacoma as the newest client of its
construction management software, Projectmates. After a comprehensive bidding process,
the City's Environmental Services Science and Engineering Division (ESSE), part of its Public
Works Department, chose Projectmates to manage the construction of their capital improvement projects.
Among other factors, the City chose Projectmates for its functionality, training resources, and speed
of implementation.
Construction will begin early August on the City's Solid Waste Recovery and Transfer Center at the
Tacoma Landfill in Wash. The new center will provide space for separating and recovering recyclable
materials from the waste stream. Lewis Griffith is the Professional Civil Engineer and Project Manager
for the center. When asked what sets Projectmates construction software apart from other software the City
researched, Griffith quickly answers, "The speed of implementation and the training and support staff set
Projectmates apart."
The City will start another capital improvement project, the 2-story, 14,000 square-foot expansion of the Solid Waste
Administration Building. Construction will begin in October. Projectmates will allow the City's construction management staff,
design consultant teams, and contractors to collaborative online via its 100% web-based platform, which doesn't require any
software installation. The web-based platform contributes to quick implementation and is essential for a team geographically
spread out with team members working in various offices and others in the field. Projectmates drastically improves response
time for construction workflows like RFIs, submittals, and document approvals and reduces high costs associated with traditional
print-and-mail submittals. The Division is pursuing LEED Silver certification on both projects.
"Owners need construction management software that delivers cost management and project transparency. Project Managers
need software to keep projects on track and team members accountable. Once again, Projectmates has proved itself as the
best software solution for the job," said Hemant Bhave, Vice President of Systemates. "We thank the City of Tacoma for
selecting Projectmates and look forward to our partnership."
