AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials

For more than 20 years, TxDOT has been using SiteManager and LIMS for construction and materials information management. Although SiteManager is a powerful tool, AASHTOWare, the same organization that created SiteManager, has developed a more extensive and robust system.

The Construction Division (CST) is very excited to implement a new construction and materials information management system called AASHTOWare Project Construction and Materials™ or APCM.

Why are we changing tools to APCM?

  • This change is necessary because the current SiteManager system will not be supported in the future. The transition from SiteManager to APCM ensures TxDOT is up to date with the latest software.
  • APCM is web-based, so you can enter information and read reports anywhere you have Internet access.
  • APCM will provide valuable insights and a deeper, more integrated collaboration between TxDOT’s districts and divisions. Multiple systems can be accessed in the same environment to minimize transferring information between different AASHTOWare modules (such as Civil Rights and Labor, Project Preconstruction and Vendor Management).
  • With APCM, TxDOT can continue to collaborate with other organizations and Departments of Transportation.
  • LIMS will be replaced with APCM so information will be stored in one easy to find location.

What is (APCM) AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials™?

The AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials™ is a web-based construction and materials management application and is one module of AASHTOWare Project.

It covers:

  • The complete construction and materials management process,
  • Laboratory information management.
  • All levels of construction and materials management to progress a contract and its supporting documentation from award through finalization.

Additional information about APCM can also be found on the AASHTOWare website.

What do I need to know?

APCM will be rolled out in Spring 2025.

Phased rollout

The project team has grouped the districts into six groups to rollout in six phases. As we get closer to the rollout dates and details become finalized, this website will be updated.

Rollout schedule Districts Rollout date
District group 1 TBD TBD
District group 2

District group 3

District group 4

District group 5

District group 6

APCM is for new projects

  • APCM will replace SiteManager, however SiteManager will continue to be used and available for current projects until completed.
  • No projects will be switched over from SiteManager to APCM.
  • APCM will be used for all new projects once APCM has been rolled out to a district.

LIMS transition

LIMS will be rolled out during District Group 1 phase of the APCM roll out.

  • Prior to APCM roll out, all standalone LIMS activities for samples and tests move into APCM, including activity related to ongoing SiteManager projects.

Project level testing

  • All project level testing information for current projects will be entered into SiteManager and LIMS will be discontinued.
  • There should not be a visible change in the information you see in SiteManager or how you work with SiteManager.

MTD (Materials Division) testing

  • All multi-project information will be available in both SiteManager and APCM.
  • After roll out, information for all new projects will be entered into APCM.

Where can I get training?

Training will be offered through in-person classes, virtual meetings, training materials and demonstration videos. Training resources will also be posted to this website.

  • Training materials will be available here, before rollout.
  • Live Training classes will be scheduled by District groups.
