How does the CUonline Internet Plan Room work?
With their CUonline Internet Plan Room subscription, subcontractors receive 24-hour, 365-day access to project information - including plans, specs, and addenda - for the publicly bidding construction projects in the Construction Update Plan Room Network. The CUonline Internet Plan Room (CUonline) provides project information in Iowa, Nebraska, part of South Dakota and part of Illinois, and can be accessed from your office, home, or remotely - anywhere you have access to the internet.
The CUonline Internet Plan Room provides subcontractors looking for new and better opportunities with a comprehensive database of upcoming projects in their area, currently bidding projects, and post-bid information. The listings can be searched based on geographic parameters, or by any project or service specific criteria (such as CSI codes).
As part of the MBIonline network, the CUonline Internet Plan Room application seamlessly shares information with the MBIonline Private Construction Office that general contractors use to manage the preconstruction and bidding portion of their privately bid work. Through this network, CUonline Internet Plan Room subscribers have the ability to request access from general contractors to bid on projects posted in their Private Construction Offices. This is one more way that CUonline powered by iSqFt can help subcontractors find additional opportunities for work and cultivate new relationships with general contractors looking for additional participation in their projects.
