additional software to install. We also work on our own to keep our
system updated with useful features for all of our clients.
Is there a limit on the number of users that can access my custom

in your project can gain information and input data into the system
after you set them up as an authorized user.

ICEAS was created to improve project communication, cut paperwork, and
allow you to allocate resources efficiently. Returns on the use of the
system are estimated by our clients at between 300-400% in the first
year and over 800% in subsequent years.
What does ICEAS offer our project team (owner, constructor, construction
manager, etc)?
ICEAS is an integrated documentation, workflow control, and cost tracking
system that provides automated communication at every step in a project.
Everyone in a project team, regardless of location, sees up to the moment
