Construction Contract Administration

Our company has multiple offices and is increasing the amount of Design Bid Build projects. Typically the Project Managers are responsible for tracking RFIs, submittals, field observation reports, etc. If you are an architect/PM in a similar environment, how do you keep a consistency in document control? Do you use one of the PM softwares? We are interested in an architect/PM friendly process.

Our firm designs higher education research facilities that are typically constructed in a CM at Risk environment.  We maintain a log for RFI's, Submittals, Change Orders, and ASI's for internal use while at the same time communicating with the Owner/Client and the CMR through the CMR's elecronic project tracking system.  For example, one current project uses "Constructware".
