What is a Private Plan Room?

A private planroom is a personalized website that is branded with your company logo and is used to manage construction projects online.  Much more than a simple FTP site, it provides a secure online location for you to share your project information and documents with only the people that you invite or approve.  Flexible user & group based permissions allow for you to determine who can view, download, or upload files to each particular project and when.  It also provides great features such as:

  • Automatically advertise your projects to just your preferred subs or to our network of over 10,000 subs an suppliers.
  • Automatic addenda email notification system.
  • On-Screen markup and collaboration capabilities.
  • On-Screen measurement capabilities
  • Automatic version control prevents overwriting previous versions.
  • Fully customizable permissions system.
  • Detailed activity logs.
  • Quickly and easily view bid coverage.
  • Free technical support for all users.
  • All project information located in one central repository available 24x7.
  • All data is secure and backed up nightly.
