Des Moines, IA (June 30, 2010)
- Submittal Exchange, a collaborative online system for exchanging,
reviewing, and archiving construction submittals, RFIs, and other
construction communications, today announced a new feature allowing
subcontractors access to product information for submittal forms
directly from BuildSite. BuildSite is a single source of product,
technical and green building product information
for the construction
industry.
“BuildSite
has
always aimed to simplify submittals for the AEC industry,”
said Ned Trainor, president of BuildSite. “Now our search
will connect with the Submittal Exchange workspace. This integration
will save Submittal Exchange customers time by allowing them to add
product data from BuildSite directly into Submittal
Exchange.”
With
this integration, Submittal Exchange users further accelerate the
submittal process by linking directly to construction product data from
BuildSite’s comprehensive database of product and technical
information. This database houses more than 20,000 products from over 350 manufacturers and includes Green Data for LEED®
submittals. Products on BuildSite can be searched four ways: by
manufacturer, by MasterFormat product category, by ASTM, and by
Advanced LEED parameters. The result is an electronic submittal
register with links to product data that can be approved line-by-line.
“Submittal
Exchange and BuildSite are great complements to each other. Project
team members can find their submittal data on BuildSite, and then
manage the review process through Submittal Exchange,” said
Matt Ostanik, President of Submittal Exchange. “We hear from
design and construction professionals every day who are excited about
the savings that result from tools like Submittal Exchange and
BuildSite. The increased collaboration makes sense in today’s
era of Integrated Project Delivery.”
Submittal
Exchange saves time, reduces costs, and decreases paperwork
for construction project teams by providing a collaborative, secure,
online system for managing communications during the construction
process. Subcontractors play an integral role in construction
communications, and by improving their front line processes, Submittal
Exchange is able to increase efficiency across the project and for all
team members.
