MBEX Online Plan Room Tip of the Week

Many of our members use the online plan room as a source to keep up on bidders lists. MBEX has a process both for entering and requesting bidders lists from owners, architects, or engineers. Seven days before the bid date an automatic fax is sent to the project distributor. If no response or list is received after the original fax, another is sent out four days and then three days before the bid date. If MBEX receives no list after the third fax, a call is made to the plan distributor verbally requesting a bidders list. We do our best to track down bidders lists for all projects and enter them promptly. However, once in a while, our requests are not met. In this case, please feel free to contact the plan distributor to inquire about bidders.
