Quick Intro

As a school district executive, you are probably very aware of just how expensive school construction costs. In fact, 2008 saw the greatest percentage of construction dollars spent on new buildings since 1979 with $13 billion on new schools. This doesn’t even include those dollars spent on additions to existing buildings and the retrofit and modernization of existing structures.

Now, for the first time in a long time, it is predicted that 2009 will be the year of the decline as the economy taps the strength of school district budgets. And, since school construction was one of the major line items cut from the Senate Stimulus Bill, it’s even more imperative to seek out cost saving measures where possible.

Projectmates’ construction project management software for K-12 helps school district executives recognize significant savings through features and benefits such as:

• RFP/Bid Management - There is no need for the mailing and faxing of documents between requestor and bidders. With Projectmates, everything from the beginning to end of the project process is managed via this web-based software. You simply upload the RFP with specs, the bidder downloads and prints, and then supplies a bid in response. And, with our intuitive form routing and tracking tools, you can rest assured that the persons responsible for each step of the process are fully informed.
