Because I get the following question from time to time, I thought I’d just post the Q&A here for all of you to read and share.
The question asked is usually something like this…
“Hey Craig, your homepage says that jobsite123 is the vibrant ecosphere for the commercial construction and design industry. What do you mean by ‘vibrant ecosphere’ “?
And my answer is usually something like this…
” ‘Vibrant’ refers to the depth and helpfulness of the information found in the company profiles, which provide clients and prospects with the exact information needed to maintain the business relationship – or get it started.”
” ‘Ecosphere’ refers to the growing number of companies (currently over 200K throughout the U.S.) that work in and around the commercial construction industry (including contractors, architects, engineers, suppliers, corporate support) that are choosing to market their project experience, client ratings and other qualifications – and find project/employment opportunities – in the industry’s largest and most highly visited online community – jobsite123.com.”
And just in case you need a little more info as to why the above makes jobsite123 come-off like the authority for commerical construction and design companies go-to for online marketing, projects and employment…click here to check out this traffic milestone we recently hit.
I hope this helps to clarify what we do for you…’cause it’s as simple as that, Y’all!

New Technology Service Makes Construction Bidding More Like a Day at the Beach
Nov 18, 2010 commercial construction industry, jobsite123 User Experiences
Craig Noble
The commercial construction industry is one of the most fragmented industries in the world. It breaks down into a mind-numbing number of local markets with 1000’s of specialized niche products and services in each market. This fragmentation creates significant barriers between buyers and sellers, and is especially problematic for government projects, which are usually mandated to obtain multiple bids per trade and product-type from companies that must also meet stringent qualifications guidelines in order to even be considered.
In order to make the construction project bid process easier for both buyers and sellers, jobsite123.com created and launched a bid interface tool. This new product allows decision makers from both the government sector and private sector to announce their construction projects. Then jobsite123 gathers, organizes and presents the responding companies to the owner in a format that provides easy comparison of their qualifications.
With over 25,000 profiles already active in jobsite123.com, it is quickly becoming the standard for online prequalification among buyers, and the targeted marketing vehicle for sellers within the commercial construction industry.
“jobsite123.com not only generated a large number of responses from contractors for our airport terminal expansion project, but they also made the whole prequalification process much easier for us. If more companies made their qualifications this easy to access, many of the typical headaches associated with the bid process would be eliminated. We will definitely re-engage jobsite123 for our next project.”
- Derek Thielmann, Construction Manager at Nassau Airport Authority in the Bahamas
Complete jobsite123 profiles provide instant answers to 95% of the most common buying questions, which makes them a more effective introduction tool for new relationships than a company website.
So if your company does not have a complete profile in jobsite123.com, then get on it Fella!

General Contractors and Facility Managers that are busy working these days have to deal with more inquiries than ever before from companies looking for work. Even well-qualified companies can’t make a lasting impression with impromptu drop-by visits to deliver a business card and a handshake sales pitch.

The process is simple, and it helps both sides in the buy/sell relationship. The buyers post their desire (discreetly thru jobsite123’s staff) to find new business relationships.

In the commercial construction industry, prequalifying a company to work on a project is a lengthy and arduous process – but when it’s not done well, the results can be disastrous. And, unfortunately, the traditional marketing methods that commercial construction companies use to try to get more projects just do not help the process. What today’s buyers expect is to be able to quickly go from awareness of a new company to understanding that company’s capabilities and history. jobsite123.com streamlines the prequalification process for buyers, while serving as a super-effective promotional vehicle for sellers.

Find + Qualify Local Contractors Online According to their Service Area
Aug 25, 2010 jobsite123 User Experiences

Local expertise is often at the top of a commercial construction buyer’s list of requirements. The reason is due to the fact that construction project methods, players, permitting and politics vary greatly by location. So when all things are equal among two electricians bidding on a new hotel project, except that one has experience navigating the city’s inspections process, the company with the local experience will likely get the job.
jobsite123’s company profile system allows commercial construction and design companies to appear in search results for the GCs and Owners searching online for resources by U.S. City and County. And once their jobsite123.com company profile is complete for each office location, buyers will be able to further consider them for a project because they will also see their local project experience, performance, company connections and other qualifications-related information.
“Tri-City services clients and projects throughout Florida by having multiple office locations that employ local tradesmen with local market knowledge. jobsite123 allows our offices to be found online with its brilliantly simple approach to the local search and qualify process. We are proud to be on the leading edge of this new technology.”
