"One of our architectural firm partners had conducted extensive research into the pros and cons of every viable content collaboration solution out there. They were actively looking for a solution for themselves, but they were kind enough to share their detailed findings with us, in which they had concluded that CTSpace was the best option." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"When we're asked a question or need to resolve an urgent issue, we now have a centralised repository of real-time project data and documents to use and reference. All we need is an Internet connection and we can access the information almost instantly. We can also now enforce business processes. This helps ensure that documents are routed efficiently and according to our predetermined business rules." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"The fact that you just upload a drawing onto the site and everyone who needs to see it automatically gets notified, that's huge for us and because the system time-stamps everything, you know who received it, who viewed it and when they responded. This has allowed us to improve accountability and avoid breakdowns in communication." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"Clients can now get a better appreciation for the transactional activity that goes on in a project every day. In that respect, CTSpace has become a differentiator for us. It allows our clients to feel closer to the proejct, stay abreast of project issues and come better prepared to discuss and address key concerns at the weekly meetings." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"Once our contractors and architects see how much time and frustration the system saves them it becomes much more than a 'forced' system - it's now a tool to help them do their work much more efficiently." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"In the past, project data would be scattered among several different people and in dozens of offices, PCs and filing cabinets. With CTSpace, we always have all proejct communications in one place - And once the project is closed out, we simply archite it to a CD." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"CTSpace has always been very responsive to our requests, questions and suggestions. Their people are very knowledgeable about our industry, our business processes and the challenge we face. Having a seasoned and construction-savvy software partner has been a big plus." Nigel Nightingale, Director of construction for Lakes Entertainment
"We are overseeing all of the design-related activitiets in this very high-volume, nationwide building program. As a result, we have introduced a different style of management. Traditionally, large-scale programs such as the Wing Street remodel project have been managed on a regional basis by construction managers and design consultants who typically use their own preferred tracking tools such as spreadsheets. But with CTSpace, we can easily enforce processes and ensure consistency - including standardization of terminology - in all of our documents and across all market workspaces." Lanny McIntosh, founding principal of The McIntosh Group
"Having consistency in document-naming conventions avoids costly delays and reduces the chance of error. It ensures that when we run a daily query of the CTSpace database, which may include information for 300 or more projects, we can readily identify the latest documents to be uploaded. We also no longer have to spend a lot of time tracking people down and making sure they've finished what they are responsible for." Lanny McIntosh, founding principal of The McIntosh Group
"CTSpace has performed so well that one of our goals is to leverage CTSpace as a tool to help us bring on board more clients with high-volume building programs. Bottom line: I can't imagine doing a large-scale program without a tool like CTSpace." Lanny McIntosh, founding principal of The McIntosh Group
"WE have to work very closely with Lakes and about 30 additional consultants in this project. As the point person for RFIs and other documentation, I have to read, receive and distribute virtually all of the project's documentation. CTSpace allows me to manage this process much faster and with half the staff I would need if we were doing this manually." Peter Legeros, Associate in the Cunningham Group

These benefits have led us to roll out the document management and collaboration software on all our build and maintenance projects." Rod Constanti, Head of Development, East Thames

Bo Memhave, NNE Business Director and CIO
"In the old days, you'd send out a lot of information in all directors and hope it got to the right people at the right time, and to none of the wrong people. But with CTSpace, a project manager can gain one single view of his or her projects' health. And the information is totally secure." Bo Memhave, NNE Business Director and CIO
