BuildSite Introduces UL Systems

Customers tell us they like BuildSite Systems. Systems group together all the products you need for the job -- hardware, primers, mastics, additives, applicators, sealants - everything you need to get it right the first time. To date, BuildSite has offered Systems from individual manufacturers - for concrete forming, floor coloring, waterproofing, and concrete repair, with many more in the pipeline.

A number of our customers, especially in the interiors industry, have asked for more - the ability to configure an entire project using Systems. Now, BuildSite is introducing systems packages that incorporate products from multiple manufacturers.

Working with the valuable input of our customer Negwer Materials of St. Louis (www.negwer.com), we identified 6 Underwriters Laboratory (UL) rated interior wall systems that are used frequently in commercial construction, both for new work and renovations.

Each of these systems includes the UL data, and then products: steel tracks and studs, drywall, taping and finishing, along with insulation and other appropriate accessories. The systems are:

We want to thank our friends at Negwer for their help developing this powerful new tool. Other systems on the way include DOT systems, showing products on the Qualified Products List for individual states. You can see a beta of the DOT QPL package for Arizona by doing a product search for "Arizona" or a manufacturer search for "DOT". Please let us know if there are other systems you'd like to see on BuildSite.
