TECH TIPS
Building green begins with the commitment to do just that—from design to plan to build. Before electronic plans, subcontractors had little choice but to sift through mountains of project drawings to find something applicable and interesting to them. Construction automation changed the game in the 1990s and again in the mid-2000s.

FROM THE IT FORUM
Q. We are about to begin a project where the owner, architect, engineer and other project stakeholders are located in various parts of the country, and the owner would like us (the CM) to set up and manage the electronic submittal processing and document storage system for the project, rather than the architect.

Can anyone recommend a high-quality submittal processing and document storage software product, preferably cloud-based, or possibly locally hosted?
