Construction Access Solutions (CAS) was created by Mark Bartley and the software developers at Advanced Technology Solutions, Inc. Over the years, Mark has been creating innovative means to streamline the construction process. In his opinion, there needed to be a centralized tool to incorporate every facet of a project. Much time is wasted in the flow of information, whether it be in the actual response time, the loss of documents, or the inaccuracy of the information. Couple this with inadequate job costing and estimating, leading to unexpected change orders, and the overall effect is a decline in profit margin. CAS provides a bullet-proof method for costing and tracking each job.

CAS acts as a Central Collaboration Communications Tool for Banks, Developers, Financiers, Contractors, Consultants, and various other project affiliates. It allows authorized users to audit and inspect all relevant documentation critical to the success of your project. Throughout the project, work progress and permit compliance can be verified BEFORE funds are released. CAS streamlines every aspect of the construction process. In other words, resources previously allocated for site management, cost control, and project management are significantly reduced, creating a project that is highly profitable for you and your organization. Our system creates and organizes a comprehensive database, providing you with real-time information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CAS generates extensive, detailed documentation of all facets of the job, including but not limited to analyses, drawings, schedules, reports, programs, contracts, photos and change orders.

Upon project completion, we will give you a media file documenting the job, from inception to completion. This iron-clad paper trail gives you quick access to the entire project for future reference, as well as, protection from litigation, should discrepancies arise at a future date. By seamlessly integrating all facets of construction & development management, we are able to ensure you that your project is completed as planned.
