Can anyone recommend a good "off-the-shelf" PM package targeted to the owner of a construction project? I am looking for something that focuses more on preparing budget & scheduling reports and tracking change orders, payments, etc. The owner typically doesn't care about resource conflicts or the task detail. The owner is looking at the big picture: is it on time & on budget - if not, "why"?

Microsoft Project is great at scheduling resources but does not do a good job at tracking documents (drawings, etc.), handling change orders, monitoring subcontractor progress, tracking payments, etc.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Try
Primavera - Contract Manager (used to be Expedition)
Meridien Systems - Prolog
Autodesk - Constructware

I've used all three and they all do what you are looking for. All three are off-the-shelf packaged products.
Primavera - web based on your own server (or a hosted one)
Prolog - server based with Citrix for remote access
Constructware - ASP program, a pure web based system
