Making our clients’ professionals more productive.

In today’s competitive environment, bidding efficiency is key. Whether you actively bid projects or work on a negotiated projects model, our preconstruction tools let you work the way you like with the following benefits:

Competitive Bidding

In today’s world more projects are being competitively bid.  To ensure success your firm needs to be able to bid as many projects as possible and ensure accurate bids.  McGraw-Hill Construction’s PDM provides a tool that gives you the ability to get bidding documents to your subcontractors quickly and efficiently.  PDM also allows you to import project information and documents that you find using your subscription to the McGraw-Hill Construction Network.  What’s more, PDM provides the ability to download contacts from the McGraw-Hill Global Directory into your PDM system.  Once you have the contacts into the system, PDM provides a robust subcontractor prequalification system so you can have the subcontractors keep their information current and you can spend more time working on projects.  See the PDM area of our web site for more information.

GMP Process

Guaranteeing a Gross Maximum Price provides your owner some comfort, but it also exposes your firm to increased risk. You will need to get updated pricing from your subcontractors multiple times as the construction documents are prepared. You need an easy way to manage this process, as well as make sure your team is working off of the same information. McGraw-Hill Construction’s PDM provides portal access for each member of your team to retrieve the latest information and provide take off ready content for them to begin estimating using On Screen Take Off™ electronic take off tool. See the PDM area of our web site for more information.
