Case Study: Buttress Architects improves project visibility and bidding accuracy with CMap

How Buttress Architects leverages the project visibility provide by CMap to make better business decisions

Buttress Architects, a growing practice with more than seventy staff across two studios, struggled with limited visibility into project performance, resourcing, and how long tasks and project stages actually took. This lack of insight made it hard to manage budgets, evaluate project success or failure, and price bids accurately, so the firm turned to CMap and its business management platform for better project visibility and integration with its existing information management system.

With CMap, Buttress gained real-time visibility into business and project data across the practice, replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools. The improved transparency helped teams challenge low fees and added tasks, leading to more accurate bidding, better internal communication, and stronger project management. Buttress also began using CMap’s report builder to create custom reports for HR and project performance analysis, giving the firm more informed control over decisions.
