Construction Software Companies & Consultants in Jackson, MS

BuildComm Systems is a software developer in Jackson, Mississippi. It builds an online communication and collaboration platform for commercial construction projects. The product is offered by Connect VNA, LLC. It is designed for the many parties who must stay coordinated on large builds, including general contractors, architects, engineers, subcontractors and building owners. Buyers comparing construction software vendors will find that BuildComm focuses on project communication rather than offering a broad estimating or accounting suite.

The problem it addresses

Commercial projects bring together many organizations, and each has its own priorities and expectations. When information moves slowly or circulates in outdated form, the results are confusion, rework and strained relationships with the owner. BuildComm builds its platform around this challenge. It gives every participant one controlled place to find what they need, so questions get answered promptly instead of lingering in email threads and phone calls.

What the platform does

The company calls its core offering its General Contractor Platform. It is a dashboard-style online portal that serves as a protected store for key project documents and information. The emphasis is on keeping only the newest versions in front of users. The portal also holds contact details for everyone involved, which makes it simple to reach the right person.

Architects and general contractors can see where each of their firm's jobs stands from a single screen, wherever the job sites are located. Key capabilities include:

• Protected, browser-based access to project records at any hour
• A central store for current documents and project updates
• A shared directory of contacts for all project partners
• Portfolio-level visibility across multiple jobs for architects and GCs
• Access from mobile devices for teams in the field
• Guided tours and demos for prospective users

The company states practical goals for the system. Clearer communication should raise efficiency and support project management. Fewer do-overs should lower costs. A more open flow of information should strengthen relations with owners. The company believes that open, secure digital communication among project participants will soon be expected of builders who want to succeed.

Background and team

BuildComm describes itself as a software development firm. Its staff has long experience with a range of web technologies, portal software and business sectors. Its leadership has firsthand experience in construction and has seen the difficulties that mid-sized builders often face. That background shaped the product's focus on transparency and coordination.

The firm works from an office in Jackson, which makes it a locally based option for Mississippi contractors and design firms that want a nearby vendor. Prospective customers can request a demonstration or tour the platform before committing.
