The Toronto Construction Association (TCA) is proud to let members know that BestBidz On Demand, the new feature of the Electronic Plans Room, is now available for members to use
.
BestBidz On Demand allows general contractors (GCs) to manage and control project documents and the bidding process by inviting sub-contractors and suppliers they know to bid on projects that GCs are submitting a tender on.
If you're new to an area or don't have many contacts for a certain trade, you now have the ability to use a directory of contacts, within BestBidz On Demand, that you can narrow down by trade or location.
BestBidz On Demand eliminates the need for external FTP sites making it easier to distribute tender documents, increases project exposure, is less expensive compared to similar services, and frees up more time to prepare your tender for an owner.
If you're interested in using a new feature that will simplify your bidding process and allow you to receive bids in one convenient online location, make sure to contact Teddy Tse, Electronic Plans Room Manager at 416-847-9157 / [email protected].
