Mid Atlantic BX Launches New Service, Axcess48

HARRISBURG, Pa., July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid Atlantic BX (MABX), a leading provider of business development solutions for the Mid-Atlantic commercial construction industry, today launched a new construction project information service offering titled Axcess48. This new service will provide subscribers 48-hour access to the entire COOL (Construction Opportunities Online) construction project database. Axcess48 accounts will be available starting July 27, 2011.

Axcess48 subscribers will be able to view all projects in COOL (more than 14,000 projects reported annually) and download any project documents available for a project. These documents include specs, addenda and blueprints.

"Axcess48 is a construction business development tool and a way for industry professionals to gain immediate access to the Mid-Atlantic construction marketplace," director of product development and services Aaron Leighow said. "It's a cost-effective resource for small businesses looking to access one or two construction projects, or for businesses that would like to test the offerings available through Mid Atlantic BX.

The prominent advantage of Axcess48 is the connection to MABX's online construction project database. COOL is an internet-based construction reporting service that includes current projects out for bid, blueprints, specifications, addenda, bidders lists and other details about the projects listed. Axcess48 subscribers can search for and track construction projects relevant to their businesses. Users can set up project search filters based on geography, project type, funding type (public or private), construction categories and keywords pertaining to the products or services they provide.

MABX gathers project information from sources in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Northern Maryland. As of July 27, 2011 the planroom contained 5,302 commercial construction projects in various stages worth a total combined estimated value of $39 billion.

"Axcess48 unlocks the capabilities of COOL, and will provide key construction leads for anyone who subscribes," director of marketing Frank Guerriero said.

A full MABX membership provides year-round access to COOL, nightly project information updates and automatic addenda notification. In addition MABX provides networking events, industry training, safety programs, an annual construction buyers guide and Construx Magazine.
