Immediately below is the last paragraph in the “Bluebeam Buzz” column: Bluebeam Users Share Incredible Paperless…

Two posts ago, I highlighted iSqFt’s offerings to GC’s and Sub-Contractors. After doing some quick “Google” search, I found a link to an announcement from Swinerton (a very large GC in the western part of the U.S.) to its “invited” Sub-Contractors – – this is the information that iSqFt provides its GC customers so that…

In the previous post (which was about iSqFt), I mentioned “Onvia-Demandstar”. OnVia-Demandstar is a technology company providing “bid and rfp” hosting and announcement services to city and county government agencies. Specifically, to the “procurement” or “purchasing” departments of city and county government agencies. I signed up for a “free” subscription to access and research Hillsborough…

Most reprographers,…

For those of…
