McKay-Cocker Construction Selects Viewpoint V6 Software® To Drive Integration.

 

PORTLAND, OR - December 4, 2008 - McKay-Cocker Construction, ranked among the top 25 general contractors in Canada, has selected Viewpoint V6 Software® from Portland, Oregon-based Viewpoint Construction SoftwareTM to integrate its operations across the entire company.

 

The Viewpoint applications will provide a single platform based on .NET | SQL, replacing McKay-Cocker’s legacy systems, to consolidate information and deliver extensive benefits across the business. Viewpoint’s ability to combine a flexible and complete out-of-the box solution with modern, extensible .NET and SQL based software, while also offering a low total cost of ownership, separated Viewpoint from its competitors during the selection process.

 

“We have been in the search for effective construction-management software for years,” stated Paul Cocker, Chairman and CEO of McKay-Cocker Construction. “Until Viewpoint, we have never found a solution that met OUR unique needs while being supported by continuous development that will assure viability into the future. McKay-Cocker is pleased to be moving forward with Viewpoint.”

 

Mc-Kay-Cocker selected Viewpoint V6 Software from a field of twenty U.S. and Canadian competitors and expects to benefit from the ability to customize the solution while maintaining the structure and platform integrity, through .NET and SQL. That combination will allow for continuous internal improvement as well as externally for its customers, partners and subcontractors through reporting and collaboration tools.

 

Viewpoint Construction Software CEO Jay Haladay commented, “We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome McKay Cocker into the Viewpoint family. The ability of the software to adapt to individual customers’ needs was self-evident and on full display during McKay-Cocker’s thorough selection process. It’s one of the key’s fueling our record growth.”

 

Haladay indicated that the addition of leading companies like McKay-Cocker is part of a larger trend in the industry. “Interest from the industry in our approach to product development, delivery, implementation and support has continued to grow over the years. We had eclipsed the high-water mark set last year for new customers already by October of this year. And 2008 marks the third straight year of record-breaking growth for Viewpoint.”

 

Trev McAninch, the Project Manager leading the search for McKay Cocker Construction, added, “Our evaluation process was very detailed. It went beyond just software functionality. We went into Viewpoint knowing what we wanted. Viewpoint V6 Software was up to the challenge. In a visit to their head office in Portland, it quickly became apparent that Viewpoint would be committed to us, and their solution would allow us to grow and integrate the software into many facets of our company, on our schedule. This is the beginning of a long-term relationship.”

 

Viewpoint Construction Software announced the Canada-specific version of its award-winning Viewpoint V6 Software suite yesterday at Construct Canada.

 

Viewpoint V6 Software replaced EdgeBuilder from EConstruction.

Viewpoint moves to LEED Building

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | Company | Comments Off

In April of 2007, Viewpoint moved into the newly renovated RiverEast Center along the banks of the Willamette River in downtown Portland, Oregon.

 

At more than 90,000 square feet, RiverEast Center provides Viewpoint with room to continue to deliver the highest levels of customer support and product development innovations as we grow. The space includes two state-of-the-art training rooms, dedicated remote-training rooms, a cutting-edge A/V system for video conferencing, and numerous meeting rooms. 

 

The RiverEast Center is expected to achieve Gold LEED Certification. Some of the key green features of the building include:

  • Green Street: The street running along side the RiverEast Center has been turned into a public plaza, featuring Portland’s first example of shared facilities for treating public and private storm water.  Rain water from the roof and pavement travels through artistic downspouts, storm water basins with native plantings and recycled building concrete, and is naturally filtered before reaching the river.
  • Energy Efficiency: The entire south side of the building is a dynamic solar wall which uses a system of glass panels, baffles and shelves to alternatively capture and divert solar heat throughout the seasons. The solar wall, wide use of natural light, reflective white roof, special window glazing, energy efficient fixtures, and buying 100% green power reduces energy consumption to 51% less than code requires.
  • Reclaiming and Recycling: The project received funding from the Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC) for a series of sculptures in the plaza, using large concrete slabs, cut out for windows and doors.  The slabs reveal the impressions of old growth timber, used as forms for pouring the Art Deco structure.  Over 95% of the concrete waste has been reclaimed for other purposes. Interior designers used sustainably harvested bamboo paneling and re-used much of the building’s existing doors and windows. 

RiverEast Center, formerly the Holman Transfer Building, was built originally in 1951 and served to transport products for Quaker Oats, Coca Cola and C&H Sugar for many years.
