Building Blok AGC NYS’<br />

<strong>New</strong> Member<br />

Justin Nolan, CEO and Founder <strong>of</strong> Buildingblok, an online<br />

construction management system, is a new member<br />

<strong>of</strong> the NYS AGC. Justin used his experience at Hill International<br />

to build a fantastic, easy to use online construction<br />

management system that saves time and money while<br />

increasing communication, transparency and accountability.<br />

Its unique iPhone application bridges the communication<br />

divide between the <strong>of</strong>fice and field and delivers real<br />

time updates to all users. BuildingBlok was developed to<br />

be extremely easy to use. It’s not built on hard to use legacy<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware, so setting up an account takes only a few minutes.<br />

You can set up a project by yourself and BuildingBlok even<br />

has help wizards to guide you through the set up phase. Most<br />

online systems charge by the number <strong>of</strong> users you invite to<br />

join and/or by the number <strong>of</strong> files you upload to the system.<br />

BuildingBlok <strong>of</strong>fers unlimited users and unlimited file storage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the BuildingBlok system is to get EVERY-<br />

BODY (subcontractors, managers, architects, engineers and<br />

owners) involved in your project to log in and work <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

same platform. Best <strong>of</strong> all it is, by far, the most cost effective<br />

construction management system on the market.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the services provided by Building Blok include:<br />

• Free Invitations to Bid - BuildingBlok’s preconstruction<br />

phase allows you to create an invitation to bid, invite an<br />

unlimited number <strong>of</strong> subcontractors, upload an unlimited<br />

number <strong>of</strong> bid files and addenda and track who is bidding,<br />

RFIs and even allows subs to upload bids directly through<br />

the system.<br />

• Construction Management - Create, manage, and track<br />

RFIs; ASIs; Submittals; Change Orders; payment applications;<br />

daily reports; punchlists and more. Even better, subcontractors<br />

can login and easily create any <strong>of</strong> these documents<br />

from anywhere where there is an internet connection.<br />

<strong>The</strong> project manager is notified and everything is logged.<br />

• Mobile Application - BuildingBlok’s mobile application<br />

allows users to stay connected with iPhones, iPads and Androids<br />

to create, manage and track punchlists, photos, RFIs,<br />

tasks and view blueprints while in the field.<br />
