Construction Information
Services
Construction is changing. You are being challenged by new competitors
and new technologies. The need for efficiency increases daily. As a result,
companies are learning to gather and distribute information in new ways.
More and more, the Internet is the channel of communication. It is shaping
the future of information flow in our industry.
LDI can help, with easy-to-use Internet-based construction
information services. These services are ready for you to begin using immediately.
Even better, LDI’s Internet-based information services are FREE
to qualified industry professionals. Advanced technology made affordable
and accessible. This is LDI’s Mission Statement in action.
THE LDI PLAN ROOM NETWORK
The LDI Plan Room Network fills an important need in the bid
process. If you develop or design, your projects get maximum exposure through
the LDI Plan Room Network. If you are a bidder, you can stop at any LDI
Plan Room to review hard copy plan sets for any job placed on-file with
LDI. Jobs are shared between our Plan Rooms by means of LDI’s Digital
Courier Service, which links all Plan Room locations. When you have determined
what specifications and drawings you need, prints can be made for you on
a print-while you-wait basis.
-
FREE LDI Plan Room membership to qualified
industry professionals.
-
Plan sets for any job placed on file with LDI are available at all LDI
Plan Rooms.
-
Plan Room placement of projects is FREE
to architects, general contractors, government agencies, etc. All we need
is one complete set of documents, either digital or hard-copy (hard-copy
sets are scanned and then returned intact to you for your own use.)
-
Laptop workstations are available at most LDI locations. You can “plug
in and log on” at the Plan Room or while you wait for prints.

INTERNET JOB SITESTM
Increasingly, architects and general contractors are seeing the benefits
of creating a shared data base for a project. This improves the efficiency
of bidding and building the bricks-and-mortar site. LDI can help.
We provide data-intensive Internet Job Sites that can be used to track
jobs through the bid stage and into the construction phase, keeping subs
and materials suppliers in the information flow with job data, addendas,
contractor notes, interactive links, etc. LDI’s Internet Job Sites can
be either customer-specific (one customer, many jobs) or job-specific (for
example, one job with multiple general contractors or architects, or a
single project with multiple locations.) This unique service puts users
at the forefront of the Internet revolution; it is available FREE
from LDI to qualifying customers.
-
Full html scripting assures web-page-like quality, including full color
and animated graphics. You Job Site will look as good as your advertising
web page.
-
Your Job Site is updated whenever new information is available, throughout
the day, if necessary.
-
Job Sites have e-mail response forms and interactive “Notes” pages available
to provide information to and receive comments and questions from subs
and suppliers.
-
Customized content and links to other web sites, key personal
or other data sites add convenience and information value to your Site.
-
Job Sites can be open (for public jobs, for example) or private (limited
access.)
-
Bidder or plan holder lists can be posted on a secure web page for access
on-line.

LDI can manage your (digital or manual) data base, or you can use LDI’s
digital data base for bid information distribution.

NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE (LDI-NAS)
LDI Network (Internet) Attached Storage is an ideal information
tool for architects, engineers and general contractors who need to make
drawings and specifications (as well as management information) available
to co-workers or suppliers, some of whom may be working at field locations
or offices thousands of miles away. LDI provides controlled access, on-line
storage that can be customer-specific (one customer, one or multiple projects)
or project-specific (for example, a project with multiple locations or
one requiring multiple access points.) LDI indexes the data and merges
and purges as needed, so that data is continuously managed to customer
requirements. Data placed on-line is accessible from anywhere in the world
via the Internet (appropriate levels of security are available.) LDI-NAS
is available FREE to qualifying LDI customers.
-
Private NAS sites allow on-line storage and access worldwide through
the Internet.
-
User ID and password protected sites allow only limited access to authorized
personnel or collaborators, where appropriate.
-
Anonymous NAS is available in cases where open upload but controlled
download access is required.
-
Large sites (expandable in 100 mb increments) allow storage and transfer
of hundreds of large format or small format (pdf) files.
-
Multiple sites are available to qualifying customers.
-
LDI NAS sites can be managed and administered by LDI, including site
management (security, etc) and data management (indexing, uploading of
files, merge/purge, etc.)
-
NAS sites are available at NO COST to qualifying
customers.
