Unique approach to construction software attracts senior UAE appointment

Former RedSky IT General Manager and Director, John Conmy, has joined Causeway to work within their Construction and Infrastructure Division and help build the Middle East and international business.

.

Based in Dubai and having set up RedSky UAE, John has over five years’ experience in delivering construction software solutions across the Middle East.

John Conmy comments: “A key reason for joining Causeway is their unique approach to delivering solutions for the management of cost & value on major construction and infrastructure projects. The recession has put contract margins and project performance under real pressure and is now forcing the industry to focus hard on controlling costs. This is creating a need for a more structured and controlled way of working and contractors need to have the tools to be able to react. Causeway offer commercial management and project accounting software that complements and integrates to a contractor’s existing financial accounting systems - only they can do this. Their experience is unparalleled, with their project accounting software managing cost and value on projects such as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Heathrow Terminal 5, Cross Rail, Al Raha Beach and Abu Dhabi Airport.”

Causeway’s Dubai offices were established in 2008 providing a platform to service the requirements of the whole GCC construction industry. John joins to focus on delivering solutions for contractors. However with complementary divisions providing solutions for cost consultants, quantity surveyors and facility managers, Causeway offers software for the complete life cycle of the built environment.

"Global economic pressures are changing the way in which we all work and construction is definitely no exception.” said Causeway’s Divisional Director, James Atkinson. “It has been a real catalyst for companies to review their processes in a drive to become more efficient. Innovative software solutions can add real value, eliminating inefficiency and providing the transparency and control required. Whether maximising profitability of construction projects, managing documents and drawings, monitoring utilisation of plant or managing supply chain performance; Causeway has the solutions required. No other built environment software provider has this breadth of solutions and, with John now on board, 2011 will be an exciting year for Causeway globally.”
