The home is the highest-priced indispensable product that buyers ever see – and that presents a unique set of challenges. Whether your business is high-rise buildings, single-family units, or multi-family units, you must bring innovative architecture, floor-plan design, and features to every project, integrating your business processes for design, contract management, outsourcing, project management – even in-house mortgage lending.

To continue to grow your business in a competitive industry made more complex with volatile commodity pricing, subcontractors and labor with high turn-over rates, regulatory/permit requirements, and varying mortgage rates, you need to:

• Control budget and manage contracts with a hired general contractor (builder-as-manager business model)
• Coordinate multiple specialty contractors (builder-as-general-contractor business model)
• Keep each project on track and within budget
• Perform change management and mitigate project impacts
• Mitigate operational and financial risk by integrating project controls with corporate financials

SAP can help you:

• Improve the sales process with increased accuracy and automation
• Create new revenue streams by diversifying the business
• Collaboratively bid and award vendors and specialty trades
• Set up specifications and floor-plan data for sales and purchasing
• Gain more visibility into the business' spending on items of high demand
• Streamline and integrate sales, procurement, and project management processes with financial processes
• View project costs and schedules from any level to determine overall, real-time business and financial impacts
• Track specs, drawings, contracts, permits, and other vital documents
• Measure and evaluate the performance of subcontractors and suppliers
