BidSet Plan Room Manager
Lyndhurst, New Jersey, United States
What it is
BidSet Plan Room Manager is a web-based online plan room and bid management service for construction projects. Project teams can solicit bids from vendors by email or fax and classify vendors by trade. Bidders view construction plans and specifications online and order plan sets through the plan room. The service records invitations, declines, plan views, plan holders, response statistics and bid results. It also transmits and tracks addenda and project change notifications. Users can view projects from one central screen and archive them for future reference. Bidders need an internet connection and supplied password, but the brochure says no special software, downloads or CAD skills are required to view plans. Customers can pay for bid sets or let interested bidders pay for their own sets. BidSet describes the service as secure and notes a strategic partnership with The Blue Book. Owners, architects, general contractors and construction managers are listed users. Support is based in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.
