4PS Construct vs CMiC

4PS Construct is a construction-focused ERP for businesses spanning construction, civil engineering, housebuilding, mechanical and electrical services, service and maintenance, and equipment rental. It combines project and financial management with dashboards, forecasting, resource planning, cost tracking, job costing, progress billing, retainage, commitments, subcontractors, and custom project reporting. Estimating uses templates, historical costs, dynamic pricing, and Cost Value Reconciliation. The system is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and connects with Office 365, Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, payroll tools, and subcontractor payment applications. Teams can access live project information on Android and iOS devices; the Field Service App records hours, materials, costs, and updates. Deployment can be cloud, local-server, hosting-environment, or self-hosted. Pricing is paid and quoted individually, with modular additional apps and no published fixed price.
