FASTTAC®, an industry leader in simplifying the complexities of construction drawing distribution, control and collaboration, today announced it has been selected by Constructech Magazine as a 2010 Top Products winner in the commercial products category. FASTTAC was selected due to its ease of use in providing instant electronic access to the contract set of approved design drawings and specifications required to build and maintain a facility. By using FASTTAC, project staff and trade contractors can be assured that everyone will always have a complete and up-to-date set of contract documents before work is done resulting in reduced project risk while lowering overall construction and building costs.
Winning products are selected by the Constructech editorial team, and are chosen for innovation and successful results in the marketplace. These products are selected based on the product's description, the overall usefulness and uniqueness of the product to the construction industry, and the customer growth rate for the particular product throughout the past few years.
Providing solutions with a high rate of functionality, which increase efficiency, and have a competitive price point, is a must for technology providers serving the construction industry today. The Constructech Top Products provide a look at some of the companies that are living up to that expectation. "Construction professionals are looking for the solutions that can give them the most bang for their buck. They are looking to make their company better with the implementation of technology, as well as stay up with the latest trends in the construction industry," says Mike Carrozzo, chief editor of Constructech. "The technology firms with products meeting that demand may prove to be the most successful. With FASTTAC's patent pending technology, all project team members instantly benefit from the automated distribution of digital drawings and documents which was historically distributed on an as needed basis by the construction manager. FASTTAC users obtain a complete set of contract documents and ongoing updates by simply clicking one button that automatically places updated drawings and documents exactly where the user found the previous revision on the users PC." These capabilities enable FASTTAC to go far beyond other simple electronic access methods for construction drawings and documents such as shared drives, FTP sites and Plan Rooms. The ease-of-use and speed with which FASTTAC users can access and navigate between drawings quickly results in FASTTAC becoming the "go-to" location for contract documents used on construction projects greatly reducing printing and distribution costs.
"The products named as Constructech Top Products in the commercial sector this year come from some of the leading-edge technology providers within the construction industry," says Peggy Smedley, editorial director of Constructech. "As today's technology evolves, so too must the solutions available to contractors. And, these innovative solutions will drive technology initiatives into the next generation."
