Who is Construction Software Technologies?

Construction Software Technologies Inc. (CST) has designed, developed, sold and supported high-quality estimating software products since 1993. With the launch of iSqFt in October of 2000, CST has created the first true network of secure Construction Offices on the Internet. These offices enable the general contractor or developer to become "publishers" of their own project information. 

Internet Plan Rooms are built into the iSqFt system. These plan rooms are public in nature, and feature project information that is typically harvested in a local market area by either an association or local trade group. The plan rooms are jointly "owned" by iSqFt and the related association. Access to these public plan rooms is granted on a local or regional basis and part of the fees generated are returned to the local or national group involved.

For the subcontractor, supplier, vendor or other interested party, iSqFt has developed a Project Desktop. This desktop is a screen that is secure and password protected, and will allow the user to access information from any number of Construction Offices, as well as from the built-in Internet Public Plan Rooms.

Users can actually measure blueprints on-line and they have the ability to create a complete and detailed estimate for materials and/or labor, on their computer screen. Using the iSqFt Toolbox or the more powerful Buildware Pro, even novice users can measure the electronic blueprints on-screen, and then transfer the related components into the built-in Excel-compatible workbook. These computerized estimating tools are easy to use, and may be used with traditional paper blueprints as well.

On March 22, 2001 Construction Software Technologies, Inc. d/b/a iSqFt, announced a strategic alliance with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). iSqFt, in conjunction with local AGC chapters, has developed a comprehensive market development strategy that utilizes the iSqFt/AGC Internet Plan Rooms as a catalyst to enable General Contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to conveniently share and distribute important construction project information, including plans and specifications.
