Sun Builders Co. Integrates eCMS and Procore for Enhanced Operations

In an effort to streamline its commercial and industrial construction processes, Sun Builders Co., a prominent general contractor based in Houston, has successfully implemented an integration between eCMS and Procore systems. This integration promises to enhance productivity, improve decision-making, and enable better project forecasting, transforming how Sun Builders manages their construction projects.

A Legacy of Service

Sun Builders Co. has been a staple in the construction industry since 1979, providing full-scale construction services for various projects across states like Arizona, Arkansas, and Texas. Their expertise encompasses everything from tilt-wall retail buildings and medical facilities to offices and site development. Operating successfully in multiple states, they are a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB), showcasing a commitment to inclusivity and excellence.

Bridging the Gap

Prior to the integration, Sun Builders faced a significant challenge: a disconnect between their field teams and back-office operations. Project managers required immediate access to financial details, job costs, and labor data to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, they often had to wait for updates from accounting and payroll, which delayed project timelines. Recognizing this gap, Sun Builders reached out to Computer Guidance Corporation for a solution.

Through collaboration with INRS, a trusted implementation partner, the integration of the eCMS Cloud ERP and Procore systems was executed seamlessly. This bidirectional integration allows real-time access to critical information, ensuring that all team members from project managers to accounting have the data they need at their fingertips.

The Impact of Integration

Courtney Miller, the Assistant Controller at Sun Builders, expressed the transformative nature of the integration. She noted, "The integration has been a game-changer for us. Our field teams are saving hours each week by eliminating duplicate data entry, and everyone has access to the same real-time information. It's made a huge difference in how we manage jobs, track costs, and make decisions."

Furthermore, Michael Carpenter, President of INRS Enterprises, emphasized the importance of this integration in fostering effective collaboration between field and finance teams. He stated, "We’ve given their teams a unified source of truth that makes collaboration easier and operations more efficient."

Jennifer Spragg, Customer Success Manager at Computer Guidance Corporation, highlighted the dedication of Sun Builders' team and how they maximized the value of both platforms through this integration. The focus on creating a connected and data-driven construction management system has led to substantial improvements in how Sun Builders conducts their operations.

The Future of Sun Builders Co.

Looking ahead, Sun Builders aims to continue leveraging innovative technologies to enhance their operations. The integration of eCMS and Procore signifies not only a new chapter in their operational efficiency but also a commitment to adapting to the fast-evolving construction landscape.

With a proven track record and a clear vision for the future, Sun Builders Co. is set to maintain its reputation as a leader in the construction industry, ensuring quality service and client satisfaction across all their projects.

This successful integration also illustrates how modern construction companies can overcome traditional operational challenges by adopting cloud-based solutions. As the construction sector increasingly shifts towards digitalization, firms like Sun Builders that innovate and adapt will undoubtedly secure their positions at the forefront of the industry.
