CJM Construction & Development Co., recognized as one of Florida’s premier up and coming residential builders, has decided to move forward with MARK SYSTEMS and join an elite group of homebuilders, including Prime Homebuilders, Kennedy Homes, Southern Construction, Triple Crown Homes, and Premier Homes of Southwest Florida who are already utilizing the Integrated Homebuilder Management System (IHMS) to improve efficiency and increase productivity and profits across the board. CJM Construction is looking at closing over 125 semi-custom single-family detached and attached homes in 2003 throughout some of Southeast Florida’s most prestigious communities including Hidden Lakes, Intercoastal Estates, Lazy Lake and the most recent Aragon At Sunrise.

Before choosing IHMS, CJM relied on an accounting system called A Contractor which handled some of their back office processing but didn’t offer any solutions for the other areas of the homebuilding process, including sales, scheduling, purchasing and warranty service. As CJM forecasted a rapid growth spurt they felt an urgent need for an “all in one” software package that could focus on the entire building process. After reviewing a number of software packages and coming up empty-handed in trying to find a total solution at a reasonable price, CJM was directed by another homebuilder towards MARK SYSTEMS and IHMS.

Through an IHMS demonstration, CJM had an opportunity to see that IHMS addressed all the areas of the building process as well as offering wireless access and real time updates over the Internet. In addition, CJM felt comfortable in speaking with MARK SYSTEMS references and confirmed that all the features and functions they witnessed through the demonstration are and have been used by MARK SYSTEMS’ clients for quite some time. Last, but not least, due to the user-friendly interface, on-line help text and MARK SYSTEMS’ courteous and responsive technical support team, CJM was very impressed that a number of MARK SYSTEMS’ clients had made a smooth transition from their prior software to IHMS with minimal delay and no lengthy learning curve.

MARK SYSTEMS’ Integrated Homebuilder Management System is the industry’s finest software package developed exclusively for residential builders and developers. Fully integrated from Sales Traffic Analysis through Contract Management, Cost Accounting and Warranty and Customer Service, the software provides state-of-the art information processing tools for the homebuilder, including access via the Internet. With over 1,700 end-users at residential builders as far west as California, and as far south as Puerto Rico, MARK SYSTEMS software will help manage the construction of over 35,200 homes in 2003.
