Bryan Bilicke, Director of Information Technology
LMC Construction

Established in 2004, LMC Construction is an employee-owned general contractor specializing in affordable and market-rate housing across Oregon and Washington. Known for its collaborative approach and commitment to quality, LMC delivers both new construction and renovation projects, including multifamily communities and commercial buildings.

 

The Challenge: Limited Customization and Restricted Visibility   

LMC had been using a major competitor’s construction management platform for several years. Over time, the system became increasingly restrictive — particularly when integrating financial data with existing ERP systems.

Key challenges included:

  • Limited customization options
  • Difficulty tailoring workflows to project needs
  • Constraints around financial integrations
  • A renewal process that felt transactional rather than collaborative

The previous platform’s limited flexibility created roadblocks, especially as LMC sought greater transparency and control over project budgets.

The Stakes: Control, Transparency, and Scalability  

As projects grew in complexity, LMC needed a platform that could:

  • Integrate seamlessly with existing ERP systems
  • Provide visibility into individual cost items
  • Standardize workflows across teams
  • Support long-term operational growth

Without a more adaptable system, LMC risked inefficiencies and limited insight into financial performance across projects.

Choosing a Partner: A Transformative Transition  

The decision to transition to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) was driven by its flexibility, customization capabilities, and seamless integration with LMC’s systems.

Unlike the previous platform, Autodesk offered:

  • Extended trials for thorough evaluation
  • Customizable packages tailored to LMC’s needs
  • Greater visibility into cost structures
  • A scalable foundation for future growth

To support implementation and training, LMC partnered with ARKANCE, who played a critical role in configuring the system and ensuring effective adoption.

The Approach: Implementation, Integration, and Enablement  

The transition focused on more than just switching platforms — it centered on building a stronger operational foundation.

Key elements included:

  • Structured implementation and system setup
  • Financial-side customization to meet ERP requirements
  • Workflow optimization across teams
  • Comprehensive training and enablement
  • Ongoing support to ensure sustained adoption

This enabled LMC to not only configure the system to their needs but also create internal training materials for continued education.

The Outcomes:  Greater Visibility, Control, and Efficiency
