I am searching for software that will allow me to facilitate the
construction of a commercial building.  I need assistance with
scheduling, purchasing and processing.  Can you identify any software
that can help me?  I understand there is something called H.S.Peterson
Door Schedule Software, but I am unable to find it on the Internet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 03 Mar 2005 18:37 PST

Hello patsky217-ga,

I?ve done some preliminary research on your question and I need
direction from you to know how to proceed. Here?s what I?ve found so
far.  There is a company named H.S. Peterson and another one named
Harry S. Peterson but neither anything to do with Door Schedule
Software. They?re part of the Western Group construction related
companies.

The Western Group

The Western Group is composed of six member companies; Western
Waterproofing Company, Inc., Western Waterproofing Company of America,
Inc., Brisk Waterproofing Company, Harry S. Peterson, Inc., H.S.
Peterson Co. and Western Restoration and Waterproofing.

Harry S. Peterson (6 listings)


I?ve also found an Australian company named Security Software Pty Ltd
which has a door scheduling and estimating software product called
Doors.

Door Scheduling & Estimating Software
Revolutionary software for speed & efficiency in scheduling, quoting &
reporting. Projects of any size from small residential to large
commercial.

Since you state that you need assistance with ?scheduling, purchasing
and processing? I?m not sure that the Doors product is what you?re
looking for. If you?re looking for construction project management
software here are a couple of links to show you some possibilities.

Please let me know if any of this is on the right track and how to
proceed. I look forward to your clarification.

You are probably looking for two types of software.  For scheduling
you will need a tool such as Microsoft Project however to manage
issues, risks, timesheets, scope variations, action items, documents
etc, you need a piece of project management software such as Project
Administrator from Project Perfect www.projectperfect.com.au

You should investigate the Construction Scheduling Software by
http://www.ScheduleOne.com - we have seen this implemented in several
building projects and it seems very easy to learn and use.
