Ernie Loberg Construction Selects GradeBeam to Improve Bid Management Process

CHICAGO, Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Textura Corporation (NYSE: TXTR), the leading provider of collaboration solutions for the construction industry, announced that Ernie Loberg Construction, a full-service General Contractor specializing in commercial projects for more than 42 years, recently implemented Textura's GradeBeam solution to help make its bid management process more efficient.

"Before we started using GradeBeam, we spent a lot of time and resources on phone calls, trying to either invite Subcontractors to bids or following up on bids," said Simona Kostakieva, Bid Coordinator, Ernie Loberg Construction. "GradeBeam has made that process much more efficient, so from a cost perspective, using GradeBeam just makes more sense. The solution also allowed us to access more Subcontractors through the GradeBeam database, which in turn helps us deliver better service to our clients."

The GradeBeam® solution simplifies and expedites the massive information exchange that occurs in the pre-construction phases of projects, including invitations-to-bid (ITB) drawing/specification distribution, corrections, addenda, RFIs and responses. General Contractors use GradeBeam to post project information, search for Subcontractors and suppliers, send bid invitations, distribute project documents through local printing firms, track bid responses and issue project change information.

"Using software to manage the bid process was new to us," said Kostakieva. "We were hesitant at first, but the support and training from GradeBeam has been extremely helpful. Soon after I started using it, my boss complimented me on how fast I learned the program and was using it to the company's advantage, but I owe that to the team at GradeBeam," added Kostakieva.

Founded in 1972, Ernie Loberg Construction has been providing general contracting and construction management services to the Midwest and East Coast, operating in 12 states altogether.

"We're pleased that Ernie Loberg Construction has joined the growing list of companies managing the bid process more effectively with GradeBeam," said Franco Turrinelli, President, PRM Solutions at Textura Corporation. "We are especially thrilled that they have had such a great experience, as we consider our client service a competitive advantage, especially for firms that are new to our collaboration solutions. We look forward to supporting Ernie Loberg Construction as the firm continues to expand."
