Woburn, MA - - Charrette ProGraphics, a division of Charrette Corporation headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, announces the opening of its on-line plan room - PlanLink - at charretteprographics.com. PlanLink is a web-based service that facilitates the printing and distribution of construction bid documents. Construction project managers and estimators are able to have project documents scanned and posted to PlanLink so that contractors and sub-contractors may then enter this password-protected area of charretteprographics.com to view the documents and place print orders. Print orders from PlanLink may be picked-up at any of Charrette ProGraphics' locations throughout the northeast or delivered or shipped anywhere the bidder chooses. On request, project managers are provided a report detailing what documents have been ordered and by whom for their respective projects. PlanLink was developed internally by Charrette ProGraphics' digital services manager Eric Benson. The high-tech, electronic service naturally evolved from the company's thirty-plus years of managing and printing hard copy project documents for its clients. "PlanLink is an adaptation of one of our key service offerings" states Benson. "It's critical advantage, however, is the increased efficiency it provides using today's technology - an advantage that benefits all our customers." The primary benefits of PlanLink result from its digital nature and existence on the web. Owners, managers, general contractors and architects provide wider access to their jobs and thus increase the numbers of subs bidding or can keep bidding private through password protection. Subs have unlimited availability to jobs during the bid period and may search for projects based on criteria such as project name, value/size, geography and bid deadline. In addition, all project documents and data are archived by Charrette for the future use of job principals. PlanLink creates added value for the entire process of viewing, ordering, printing, managing and distributing construction project documents. Charrette ProGraphics is a technology-based, reprographics management and services partner for business and design professionals. It provides value-added reprographic services and web-based tools to the professional marketplace through its web site and over 200 On-Site Services (OSS) programs and twenty service centers in the United States.
