Share project documents with your choice of invited partners in a secure environment that the construction industry is already familiar with. Contractors and trades people only see the projects they're invited to and can easily login with their BuildWorks user name and password.

This network eliminates the need for multiple FTP sites and makes it easier to manage trade/supplier contact lists. Users can upload their own contact lists as well as invite contacts from the directory. There is also a complete audit trail that logs all document transmittals and communications.

As with BuildWorks, there are take-off and annotation tools available. There are also features for managing document versions and doing shop drawings.
