New Technology Service Makes Construction Bidding More Like a Day at the Beach
jobsite123.com is Now Helping Government Agencies Find and Prequalify Contractors for their Projects
November 2010
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 .

BizWords Allows Member Companies of jobsite123.com to be Found on Google
Jun 10, 2011 Press Release
jobsite123.com Introduces BizWords
BizWords Allows Member Companies of jobsite123.com to be Found by the Words that Describe their Business
December 2010
Business owners know the words that clients use to refer to their company type. Google, Yahoo and Bing have taught the world the value of using words to search and find exactly what is desired on the internet. The problem created was that companies had to pay a SEO (search engine optimization) consultant to program the words into their website, so it could be found on the internet. However, this is no longer true for companies that work in and around the commercial construction industry.
jobsite123.com’s new BizWords tool allows member companies to easily attach the words that describe their business to their profile themselves. The result for member companies using BizWords is a more visible online presence based on what their business does. Very often, construction companies do a really good job of staying top-of-mind among existing clients, but the ways to effectively get the attention of a prospect that doesn’t know their company name are few and expensive. jobsite123.com solves that problem with the introduction of BizWords.
“A company’s web presence that doesn’t attract the attention of potential clients searching for what you do is like getting dressed-up for the prom but staying home with your family there’s no return on the investment. Build a profile for your company in jobsite123 and ride the free wave that we create for all of our member companies. Then drive more traffic to your profile using the words that your clients know you by with BizWords.” – Stephen Kaiser, Director of Online Marketing at jobsite123.com
jobsite123.com’s BizWords tool currently offers a library of 18,300 words and is growing every day because of user feedback.

Introducing jobsite123.com BizAds
Dec 17, 2010 marketing tips, press and media
In order to more effectively drive online exposure for its member companies, jobsite123 has launched a new tool called BizAds – which individually promotes each of its more than 30,000 member companies with targeted advertising at no charge. Managing over 30,000 company campaigns firmly cements jobsite123 as the industry’s largest advertising and marketing firm.
This is how BizAds works. When someone searches for a member company in Google, an ad for that company will appear prominently in Google’s paid search results, in addition to the jobsite123 organic listings. A click on the ad will send the user directly to that company’s comprehensive qualifications profile in jobsite123.com.
This is why BizAds works. The commercial construction and design industry is increasingly turning to search engines like Google to find resources online. jobsite123 member companies are actively promoted to make sure they have a competitive advantage and an opportunity to distinguish themselves via their company’s jobsite123 profile – which communicates their specific project history, experience and other qualifications better than 95% of the websites in the industry.
Steve Dooley, Director of Traffic Acquisition, commented: “We are continuously driving massive, targeted traffic to individual jobsite123 profiles. BizAds is another way we increase our members’ online visibility, which creates more project-bidding opportunities for them. By acquiring substantially greater visibility for our members than they could on their own, we provide significant value and it’s a great feeling every time one of our customers has that ‘Ah-Ha Moment’ and realizes the valuable lead-generation tool that jobsite123 truly is.” Dooley went on to say, “It’s a simple deal: our members get a great free profile on our platform and free advertising to help them make more money, and many of them elect to pay us for additional exposure services. It’s a true win-win.”
“Typical construction industry websites are so 2005.” said Victor Mendez, Chief Information Officer of jobsite123. Victor went on to elaborate, “Our members consistently come to us for solutions to drive their internet presence and online business development for where the industry is in 2010 and beyond. The great thing here is that we built the best in class solution for our industry.” Victor further commented, “jobsite123’s new BizAds tool is an example of how the platform continues to deliver tangible results to its community of commercial construction and design companies.”
Companies that desire even more exposure can sign up for a plethora of expanded BizAds managed acquisition marketing programs at a commitment level that meets their budget and business goals.
At jobsite123.com, we take the mystery out of online advertising for companies that work in and around the commercial construction and design industry.

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.
“We are using jobsite123.com to find and qualify business relationships, and we are using it to promote our company. In my 30 years in this business, I’ve never seen a marketing vehicle and a procurement tool so well rolled into one. jobsite123.com is on-track to change the entire commercial construction industry.” – James P. McConchie, President of Elcon Electric
Elcon Electric has been serving South Florida since 1989. Elcon’s construction division provides electrical installation for new commercial and industrial facilities, as well as interior renovations. Elcon’s service department operates a fleet of fully-equipped service vans manned by technicians available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Elcon’s profile on jobsite.com is averaging 1,000 views per month.

Contractors, architects, engineers and other related businesses in the commercial construction industry are submitting their jobsite123.com company profile to their clients in lieu of doing things the old way – exchanging paper pre-qualification forms. This new paperless prequalification process is also catching on quickly among industry buyers as they realize the benefits jobsite123.com provides in their work day. And saving trees feels good for both sides of the industry.
Chris Rohland, Corporate Director of Construction at Hollywood, FL, based Duty Free Americas Inc., finds jobsite123.com a big improvement over other construction contractor/supplier databases. “It’s a powerful, portable and paperless way for Owners, property developers and project management professionals to source qualified local, regional and national contractors,” Rohland says, “and it allows us to easily access the current qualifications of our existing resources.”
jobsite123.com Qualifications Tool Shines A Bright Light On Contractor Capabilities

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.”
