ATLANTA (June 1, 1999) - Construction Data Control, Inc. (CDCI), the nation's leading designer and developer of construction management sofrware, is proud to introduce Job2Date, an exciting new tool that uses the Internet to allow home-buyers to track the construction of their new home and stay in touch with their builder. Job2Date is a communications and data management system that allows homebuyers to follow the progress of their new home, from the time the foundation is poured to the day the punch list is completed. The job cost information is automatically uploaded each night from the builder's office onto a secure server which authorized buyers can then access through the Internet. Buyers can also view site photos and blueprints, post their own responses or requests, select options and make cost inquiries via a secure messaging system. Job2Date provides consumers with documentation of every step of the building process, including cost variances, requested actions or changes, and any correspondence they have with their builder. Should a dispute arise, the homebuyer can readily refer to the job information stored on the server to support their position or claim. Every action is date stamped and is available throughout the life of the job. With Job2Date, consumers will no longer be left in the dark when it comes to the construction of their new home. "With Job2Date, homebuyers can directly access the information they need to make decisions during the time their new home is being built," explains John Geoffroy, president of CDC I. "They don't have to wait for their builder to return their phone call or mail or fax them the latest job site photos. Everything they need to track the construction process is right at their fingertips. This is very valuable whether the buyer is across town or across the world." Consumers can also keep track of any budget variances that occur during the construction process, and generate an up-to-the-minute cost report from anywhere in the world. And if a homebuyer has been given a spending allowance for custom options such as flooring selections, landscaping and light fixtures, he or she can access a cost breakdown that shows them specifically where these dollars have been spent. Because all the project information is available over the Internet, homebuyers can follow the construction of their new home and stay in touch with their builder from any location. The builder can even provide them with information about local services and shopping, by simply posting this information online. "Most consumers already use the Internet to shop, trade information and conduct business," says Geoffroy. "Job2Date takes this technology to the next level -- helping them manage the most important purchase they will ever make." |
