idtplans Bid Minimize


Traditionally, Contractors, Sub-contractors and Suppliers go down to physical plan rooms to search for bid opportunities. In addition, they sometimes have difficulty coordinating addenda and revisions on construction plans. When field modifications happen, early disposition and an easy way to reduce the delay becomes a life saver. Having an easy way to communicate those issues and a simple and secure way to get those revised plans is essential to profitability. idtplans.com was designed with this idea in mind. idtplans.com is the first of it's kind, offering on-line access in all phases of the construction process: from the conceptual design, to the municipal review, to the "as built" stage. All phases can be viewed, shared, and are available on-line. Change a plan cooperatively and instantly with a simultaneous red-line tool. The Red-lining tool is similar to instant messaging, but better, since it retains all suggestions and changes which are viewable in the future, unless removed by the author.

  • Automatic Revision and Plan history
  • Red-lining allows insertion of standardized comments
  • Access to all public contracts bidding
During the construction or bidding process, changes that become part of the overall plan do occur; idtplans automatic addendum distribution system provides project managers and bidders total control over the revision process. Electronic distribution of project documents and changes provides an electronic 'paper trail' of emails and revisions.
  • Broadcast emails to all or specific members of the portal
  • Concurrent red-lining by author and reviewer with real time RFI's
  • Access to project "as built" after construction
  • No need to go to physical planroom
Now that plans are viewable on-line, printing costs are drastically reduced. Cash savings are enormous, as are time savings. No longer do you waste time sending plans back and forth between owners, contractors and the bidding firms. When printed plans are required either by you or your colleagues, you can determine what sheets need to be printed and where. Users can print either locally, or to a reprographics firm, with sizes 8 1/2 x 11, 1/2, or full plan page. idtplans.com uses a standard storage format, making it easy to connect to several estimating software systems.
  • Control over printing and distribution
  • Request prints on-line to your existing reprographics firm
idtplans.com provides simplicity of access: once signed in, users are only 3 clicks from viewing the plans, or a list of bidding contractors.
  • Access to the plans and addendums 24/7 during design and construction
By using the add-in to the browser provided by idtplans your data is now more secure and faster viewing. No longer is it necessary to maintain or use local software. Submit your bid electronically.
