On a technically challenging project, the project engineer for a concrete subcontractor can spend four to six hours reading specs and doing the submittal documents; his counterpart at the roofing sub will spend six to eight. At the G.C. level, research shows submittals absorb 20% of a project engineer's time. Architects and engineers complain about product data that are difficult to read and five years out of date. According to one source, 70% of construction claims come from the submittal process.

Everyone agrees -- submittals are a time and paper-intensive part of construction. Until now, there has been no easy way to automate the process.

BuildSite provides a simple and easy way for subcontractors and their suppliers to generate comprehensive product submittals in electronic form. BuildSite perfectly complements the document control and collaboration features in Expedition®, Prolog®, Constructware®, and other programs.
