JEFFERSON VALLEY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Blue Book Network has recently announced the launch of BB-Bid2012, a completely redesigned and enhanced version of their original project communication system.
Targeted to General Contractors, Architects, Building Owners and Facility Managers - or anyone looking for help managing their projects - BB-Bid2012 provides integrated tools to facilitate all aspects of the pre-construction process, including managing, locating and pre-qualifying vendors; sending project messages and sharing documents, including plans, specs and addenda.
New features include:

“Our goal is to continue to serve our user community and streamline their preconstruction process,” said Rich Johnson, President of The Blue Book Building and Construction Network. “BB-Bid has been an invaluable tool since we launched it in 1999. We are excited to be integrating new technology that offers advanced features and functionality, while maintaining the core component that has always set us apart from other systems – access to our industry leading company search engine, which provides our users with the vital and accurate company information they need to make informed decisions.”
