Boston, MA – JM Coull, a New England based construction management and design build firm, was honored this month with a 2009 Vision Award from Constructech magazine.
JM Coull’s” eBid” system of electronically soliciting subcontractor bids garnered the award, which recognizes innovative technologies and their application to everyday business.
By customizing a software package produced by eBid Systems, JM Coull reduced the cost of the bidding process by 93 % in one year and cut production time from a full day to less than an hour.
The environmental impact of the bidding process was dramatically reduced by eliminating shipping and enabling contracting firms to view drawings electronically and print only the plans they need.
“Our eBid system enables us to maintain current information on an extensive database of prequalified subcontractors. By bidding electronically, we can increase participation and generate more competitive pricing for our clients,” said JM Coull president, Andrew Coull.
