Solutions for Construction Management

The model for tracking construction projects has changed dramatically over the past several years. The increased use of Design Build as the preferred project delivery vehicle has required the contractor to become more proactive by looking further down the road than in the past. This new requirement has rendered most of the time proven methods inadequate.

The Solution

By using various reports such as Daily Projects, Advance Notices and Awarded Contract Reports, IMS gives the contractor the ability to develop project opportunities at the same time as engineers and architects. The extensive website database allows the contractor another resource for long range planning. These tools are essential when pursuing public-sector Design Build projects. The IMS "advance research" approach along with tailored Target Markets, Disciplines and Geographic Regions allows a contractor the needed flexibility to stay ahead of the curve.

Product Descriptions

Anyone can capture website information. Only IMS conducts deep research and communicates with a network of over 35,000 agency contacts to VERIFY upcoming (Advance Notice) project announcements.

Our daily project research is edited and proofed prior to publication. Project announcements are delivered Monday through Friday by email and are always available via IMS' website database.

Ever wonder who won a contract? Our weekly Awarded Contract Report keeps you up to speed and knowledgeable about competition and teaming opportunities.

Bond Measures are a critical source of funding for many municipalities and school districts. IMS continually tracks relevant bond measures and their associated projects. After each election we publish a report with Pass/Fail outcomes and update our project announcements as appropriate.

The IMS subscriber-only website is an unparalleled resource for public-sector agency research including direct links to agency websites, detailed project histories, searchable legislative agendas and CIP/budget documents, Recovery Act requests/allocations and relevant newspaper articles.

In addition to the research material that is available for each agency, the website also allows users to conduct powerful searches and organize project announcements.
