BuildSite Announces the Release of New Software for Construction Submittals

Oakland, CA (February 2, 2010) -- BuildSite, a single source of product, technical, procurement, and green building product information for construction, today announced the release of new BuildSite Software for Submittals. This new Software as a Service (“SaaS”) offering allows for the creation of fully electronic project submittals tied directly to construction specifications. BuildSite Submittals easily integrates with project management software used by general contractors and building owners.

BuildSite’s comprehensive database of product and technical information provides access to hundreds of manufacturers in one easily-searched location. The database houses over 20,000 construction products from more than 350 manufacturers. Users can access over 20 document types, including product data, MSDS, installation details, testing reports, green data and many others.

BuildSite Software provides a workspace in which users can check off documents and customize and save packages of product information. The workspace also allows the incorporation of non-BuildSite documents, such as warranty and application letters, into submittal packages. Online templates for product data, shop drawings, mix designs and LEED submittals allow the user to generate a Submittal Table of Contents and post it to a unique URL. The result is a complete submittal package in electronic form, flowing into project management and easily attached to design objects in building information (BIM) models.

“BuildSite Software for Submittals lets the industry take another step forward toward Integrated Project Delivery,” said Ned Trainor, President of BuildSite. “It takes piles of paper out of the construction process and eliminates redundant workflow, especially for general contractors and subs. When product data flows seamlessly into project management and design, we come closer to an integrated digital model that works for design, construction, and operation.”
