Submittal Exchange Integrates BuildSite Search

Submittal Exchange and BuildSite are excited to announce a new integration that will grant subcontractors on Submittal Exchange access to product information directly from BuildSite. This integration saves Submittal Exchange customers time and brings more contractors to BuildSite's database.

Submittal Exchange and BuildSite know that when submittals are tied electronically to the project record, the entire team saves time. What's more, at the completion of a project, owners receive a digital as-built record of their building.

For more information about the integration, read our press release or email us. We will keep you updated on the success of the integration, and we will pass on details for how you can take advantage of Submittal Exchange and BuildSite on your next project.
