Distribute Plans & Specs Digitally
January 20, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
You need to get the bidders to tell you they are going to give you a price.
You also need to get the documents to the bidders who have told you they are going to give you a price.
So why not kill two birds with one stone?
- The bidder receives an email from you and clicks on the “YES, I WILL BID” button.
- Immediately, the specific documents for that bid start to automatically download to the bidders desktop!
This service is available now at AIR Graphics.
So how much would it cost?
How about 10 cents a file download?
Below is a real world example that assumes the contractor has a bid document with a hundred 30×42 plans in it. The contractor has determined what plans are needed for each bid package and how many bidders will be invited to bid. With a few clicks of a mouse, the emails go out and he is done.
Total cost – $306.00 to distribute over 3000 full size plans.
Total Bid Distribution Cost $306.90
Some would ask, “Why should I pay for the plans to be downloaded to my bidder?”. The answer is security. The security that you know that each bidder has the proper plans needed to bid the project correctly and you have a record of what was distributed. You know when he received the plans, you know what plans he received and you can prove it. That is worth far more than a few hundred dollars on this multi-million dollar construction project we are using as an example.
