Fort Lauderdale, FL July 6, 2010 — More and more contractors are expanding the number and type of services they offer. How does the smart buyer find out about these new capabilities from contractors they know and trust? Many now turn to jobsite123.com for the bigger picture. The number of commercial construction buyers now requiring their existing bid list of companies to fill-out a profile in jobsite123.com is on the rise – because of the obvious efficiency of having a single online source to quickly gain a FULL understanding of the capabilities of the companies bidding on their projects.
jobsite123 user Russell Anderson, Senior Vice President & Preconstruction Manager at the Fort Lauderdale construction management firm of Moss & Associates discovered a useful new capability in one of their regular contractors. “We’ve enjoyed a good working relationship for many years with KHS&S as a specialty interior/exterior finishes contractor. However, we were not aware of their expertise building specialty fountains and water features until seeing their project history in jobsite123.com.” The value of finding new services from on of their already pre-qualified contractors was clear to Moss & Associates. Anderson notes “We are now using jobsite123.com as a part of our prequalification and selection process to establish our bidder’s list for all our projects.”

WOW…this is embarrassing (but also kinda flattering!).
We anticipated a huge jump in traffic this week, but NO WHERE NEAR the demand hitting our site yesterday and today.
Anyway, we’ve identified the programming matter responsible and we are implementing the required enhancements to accommodate the “way higher” than anticipated increase in traffic. Feel free to check back in on the site throughout today. We should have this matter resolved shortly.
By the way, don’t worry ABC members… those of you desiring to lock-in premium positioning on the search pages for your company should just send us an email to advertising@jobsite123.com. We will reserve the placement you want for your company today, and we’ll have it LIVE in the system tomorrow.
Thank you for your interest in jobsite123.com. And thank you for your patience as we build these sooner than expected traffic-related programming improvements.

Simultaneous Demolition of 16 Hi-Rise Commercial Buildings
May 14, 2010 industry videos Leave a comment
This must see video shows the controlled demolition of a cluster of buildings all falling into each other. The entire video is only 33 seconds, but it includes 3 different aerial perspectives.
What probably took many years of work by commercial contractors, took only seconds to demolish. This is waterfront property, so hopefully the site will be replaced with energy efficient buildings.
Industry Org Memberships Represent Your Construction Business's Qualifications Too

You already know that your membership in local construction industry organizations allows you to network with peers and maybe hear about upcoming construction projects and opportunities. However, you can also get additional mileage from your memberships by mentioning the organizations that you belong to in your marketing efforts. Think about it…including the logos of national construction industry organizations like Associated Builders and Contractors, Urban Land Institute, United States Green Building Council and the other prominent local organizations alongside your construction company’s logo bolsters your business’s reputation because of their excellent reputation in your local market area. So, when we were researching and designing the jobsite123 qualification profiles, it became clear to us that providing a tab for you to showcase the affiliations and memberships that you belong to was a must. You can click here for an example of a commercial construction company using their industry organization memberships to further represent their qualifications.
We have many of the prominent industry organizations available for you to click and display in your Qual-Port – but we don’t have all of them yet. If you would like for us to add an industry organization that you belong to but is not in our system, just send an email to us at solutions@jobsite123.com.
JobSite123.com provides us with easy-to-access information about all of our contractor's qualifications and successes - these are the things that sell you to us. It is truly one of the best tools I have ever seen in the facilities and construction management arena.
