The project management process was revolutionized by the invention of project management software. Computer-aided planning and scheduling provides efficient and practical planning for large projects. The basic functions of any project management software include creating and managing schedule, resource planning, delay estimation, budget allocation and team communication. This work aims to analyze and understand the existing construction project management measures and the aiding softwares. The Deficiencies in the current situation have been identified. One of the most common weaknesses of CPMS is the lack of an electronic procurement process. Procurement of construction materials is a multifaceted process that covers the entire project life cycle. Social e-procurement involves the use of online collaborative networks to explore new opportunities for effective and efficient construction business. The features of ideal internet based smart construction management software are suggested. Some of these include calculating earned value check, effective dynamic scheduling with algorithms and e- procurement.
