Vendor comparison

STACK Construction Technologies: In the mid-1990s while working in the construction industry, my son Justin (then only 15) and I put together an estimating software program that we called Buildware Pro. Originally targeting the commercial roofing industry, Buildware Pro allowed you to measure paper plans using a digitizer, or even on your computer screen if you had a digital PDF or TIF file. We enjoyed success from the very beginning and by the time Justin was 17 we had sold 1/2 a million dollars' worth of our construction software! Measuring on screen led me to a new idea… one where GCs could distribute plans in digital form to their subs and suppliers, via the Internet. During the same time frame my friends Al and Tracy Battle had started the first ever "Internet Plan Room" and partnered with the AGC in Atlanta to distribute plans for public projects to subs and suppliers in that market. Al, Tracy and I put our companies together and iSqFt.com was born.
