Product Overview

The AASHTOWare ProjectTM software, one of the early outputs of the Cooperative Computer Software Development program, was born when Infotech sold AASHTO its Bid Analysis and Management System (BAMS) software in 1985.  Since that time, the AASHTOWare Project software has evolved from client/server applications with individual databases to one web-based application with a unified database and mobile options to become a mission-critical system.

Today, the AASHTOWare Project software is a web-based enterprise system managing the entire construction contract lifecycle, covering cost estimation, proposal preparation, bidding and bid analysis, construction management and inspection, materials management, civil rights, labor management and data analytics across the entire program.

All AASHTOWare Project modules work seamlessly together, having the same look and feel, promoting standardization throughout the varying business areas.  Because the AASHTOWare Project software was designed to work easily with other systems, and because no other system manages as much data, it can act as the single source of truth for your construction contract data, helping you make data-driven decisions related to your construction program in real time.


AASHTOWare Project consists of the following modules:
