Online Documents


GradeBeam.com goes way beyond a traditional plan room, FTP site, or document hosting software
. Our technology and support services have been designed to be the most efficient method for securely sharing critical project details. We put the control of information in user's hands and provide the solid back-up of customer support to ensure everything is available at anytime and from anywhere. Online documents may be shared instantly without restriction to size, quantity, or file-type, and there are no costs for viewing or downloading. GradeBeamers even have access to On-Screen-Take Off tools, and any blueprinter can be linked to a project for coordinating hard copy plans and specifications. Since no projects are ever erased from GradeBeam.com, there is a permanent record of bidding history, message delivery, and document tracking to provide full accountability for all activity. Projects can also be easily copied to get a “jump-start” on new jobs by using the same bidders or modifying the trade coverage and making any adjustments desired.

Messaging/Reporting:


Tapping into the robust power of our communications network, GradeBeam.com tracks, updates and resends all of your correspondences to ensure every message gets delivered, every time. We also deactivate “out-of-business” contractors to minimize waste in future correspondence. Our support team manages a public profile on hundreds of thousands of companies—including name, address, phone, fax, email, public contact, trades, certifications and pre-qualification forms. If some subs work exclusively for you, they may be kept “private” in our network and remain accessible only to your account/users. When it comes to confidential data being shared, each GradeBeam.com member—or "GradeBeamer"—can maintain a private profile on each contractor, which includes private contacts, phone/fax, emails, notes, and the ability to create “custom” search criteria/attributes/groups.  This allows them to organize companies based on how they differentiate one from another. Also, invitations may be directed to specific contacts and sent to multiple companies, if desired.
