About Us

Ten years ago, CIPO was created as a solution to help a large construction management company execute a half-a-billion dollar program. Today, it has grown into a leading construction software company that specializes in providing services to Owners and CM firms.

The CIPO platform, built on the Microsoft Cloud, is the result of valuable industry insights and knowledge, aimed at helping owners manage their teams and programs more effectively. It offers a comprehensive construction program management solution that can be customized to suit any organization of any size, regardless of complexity. We have developed the software on an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy for any organization to adopt.

With its ability to connect teams, reduce manual steps, and provide real-time and historical analytics, CIPO has become the go-to solution for streamlining construction and project management workflows. It is a worthy challenger to the status quo and is specifically designed for construction Owners.

CIPO is an end-to-end platform allowing owners and CM professionals to define the environment that will meet their business practices, track, manage, and control all documents, and visualize their projects centrally. No matter the size of your institution, CIPO will make a lasting, positive impact on how you manage and optimize your construction processes.
