PlanHub, the leading cloud-based preconstruction software (SaaS) platform, has announced the rollout of a new-and-improved private planroom experience. Building upon the all-in-one solution's already-extensive array of tools, PlanHub's new and improved private planroom helps general contractors network, find more qualified subcontractors for their projects and simplify bid management like never before.
With private planrooms, general contractors can confidently grow and collaborate with their network of subcontractors. They can also keep track of insights and updates related to their activity, all with the peace of mind provided by a secure environment.
General contractors using private planrooms will also have access to a new and improved assortment of cutting-edge features, including:
Advanced Directory - Planhub users can easily search the platform's extensive directory of over 400k hard-to-find subcontractors using intuitive search & filter functionality, pinpoint the best candidates for their project and send ITB's in just one click. Plus, general contractors can create lists of subcontractors to send ITBs to, and restrict access to projects to keep them private.
Activity and Status Tracker - This tool makes it easier than ever for general contractors to track activity on their projects and manage communications with bidders. It helps them monitor who is downloading project files and track the bidding status of companies who have viewed their projects. If gaps emerge in a project's bid coverage, general contractors can then reach out to subcontractors that have interacted with their projects to remind them to bid, or reach out to more contacts.
Messaging Center 2.0 - This upgraded tool allows general contractors to connect and communicate with subcontractors easier than ever. Instead of juggling phone calls, emails and texts, users can share files, create group chats, search through messages, revisit prior conversations and much more, all in one place.
"At PlanHub, we're always thinking about how we can evolve our platform to help construction professionals set their projects up for success while saving them time in the process," said Ro Bhatia, PlanHub CEO. "With our enhanced private planroom, we're proud to offer general contractors new and exciting ways to help them network, connect and grow."
PlanHub continues to strategically focus on providing tools and features designed to assist general contractors, with many more exciting updates planned for the weeks and months to come.
