CMiC

quote-only Construction Management

Accounting-first construction ERP unifying job costing, general ledger, payroll, procurement, and project management on one database; used by roughly a quarter of ENR's Top 400 contractors.

Hidden Pricing

2.6 /5 composite score

A real developer API (developers.cmicglobal.com, OAuth 2.0 via Azure AD or service accounts) sits behind a dense, enterprise-only ERP -- CMiC does not publish pricing, reviewers describe a steep learning curve, and the November-2025 NEXUS AI layer (25+ agents for document classification and financial drafting) is the newest reason to look, not a reason it's easy to adopt.
