Norcross, GA – Reed Construction Data has formed the Reed Planroom Network, a new program designed to share value with planrooms and construction associations that wish to distribute their project news, plans and specifications information.

Interested planrooms can send project information in electronic format to Reed, which pays the exchange for information and then offers the project information to customers. In addition, participating planrooms can offer Reed products, including RSMeans books and online project cost services, to their members at a discount.

“We see this as an excellent way for us to help planrooms build their non-dues revenue by doing what they do best – working with their local communities to gather and share valuable information,” said Jane Rafeedie, vice president of Data Acquisition, Reed Construction Data.

Since January 2008, The Reed Planroom Network concept has been piloted in seven planrooms across California and Nevada and has resulted in off-setting the costs associated with posting digital projects.

Interested planroom/association executives should e-mail Reed Construction Data at marketing@reedbusiness.com to learn more about the program. Information can also be found at Reed's Planroom Network Page.
