Social networking style construction software is here - BuilditLive.

Modeled in part after sites such as FaceBook, BuilditLive makes it easy for construction professionals to manage all their projects from a single website. BuilditLive is organized by project and users can easily access critical information about each project (i.e. drawings, schedules, contacts) in a very intuitive environment. Using an internet browser, users login to BuilditLive and see each of their projects completely and similarly organized. Inviting additional participants to a project is simple and monthly pay-as-you-go pricing makes it extremely affordable and flexible.

Typically a general contractor is the ‘subscriber’ to BuilditLive, that is, they are the ones paying the monthly fee ($35 currently). The rest of the users on a project are free. Within about an hour, all critical drawings, specifications, and schedules have been uploaded to BuilditLive. The GC then invites all the parties involved to access the project information on BuilditLive using BuilditLive’s simple invitation process. Each user has their own self-managed profile. Users involved with more than one BuilditLive project can very easily move between projects to access information such as drawings, and communicate with participants specifically on a given project. No more need to rely on Windows Explorer to create folders to organize project information, BuilditLive organizes all the project data in a very intuitive format. In fact, it is so easy to use that 99% of users successfully use it without any training. Much like FaceBook, you don’t need training to use it, BuilditLive has been carefully designed to be easy to use.
