Why We Built This Blog
At ProTek Partners, we live and breathe CMiC. We’ve spent years helping construction companies get the most out of this incredibly powerful (and sometimes incredibly frustrating) ERP platform. We’ve seen it all — the rushed implementations, the payroll chaos, the field adoption struggles, the “why won’t this report run?” headaches.
That’s exactly why we created The ProTek Blueprint.
This isn’t just a blog. It’s your monthly playbook for building a better CMiC experience — from go-live through optimization and beyond. Whether you're just starting with CMiC, trying to fix a broken setup, or looking to get more out of your investment, this space is for you.
Think of The ProTek Blueprint as your insider guide to what actually works. No fluff, no marketing buzzwords — just real insights from the trenches of construction ERP, written by the team that’s been called in to clean up and optimize some of the toughest CMiC projects in the industry.

Why This Matters
CMiC is not a plug-and-play platform. It’s an incredibly robust system — but only when implemented, configured, and optimized by people who deeply understand the construction business and how CMiC works under the hood.
That’s where ProTek Partners comes in.
We’re not just a CMiC vendor. We’re your partner in making it work for your people, your processes, and your bottom line. Our team includes payroll experts, field operations consultants, job cost analysts, data and reporting specialists and more — all with one goal: helping you unlock the full power of CMiC.
Through The ProTek Blueprint, we’re taking that same knowledge we bring to client engagements and making it available to the whole CMiC community.
What Makes ProTek Partners Different?
There are a lot of firms that say they "do CMiC." Here's why our clients stay with us:
We fix what others can't.
Rescue projects are our specialty. When things go wrong — and they often do — we step in and stabilize the system.
We understand both US and Canadian payroll.
Multi-union? Multi-state? Certified jobs? Fringes? Retro pay? We’ve done it all — and fixed it all.
We care about the field experience.
If your superintendents hate using CMiC, it’s not their fault. We build mobile workflows that actually work.
We speak finance.
From WIP reports to forecasting to Power BI dashboards, we help finance teams get the data they need to make smart decisions.
We focus on outcomes, not just configuration.
Our projects don’t end at go-live. We support post-launch optimization, process refinement, and ongoing improvements.
If CMiC runs your business, ProTek Partners is the team that makes it run better.
Let’s Build Something Better — Together
We’re excited to share what we know, learn from the CMiC community, and provide consistent, valuable insight all year long. Whether you’re trying to avoid a go-live disaster or finally fix that one broken report that drives your CFO crazy — The ProTek Blueprint is here for you.
