Construction Lead Service Gives Canadian Contractors Quick, Easy Ways to Find New Business

SmartProject News (www.smartprojectnews.com) expands service options with new Canadian metro-area subscriptions

MARKHAM, ON (Oct. 27, 2009) – Reed Construction Data (RCD) today announced new Canadian metro-area subscriptions on SmartProject News (SPN), a construction lead service helping contractors grow their businesses through easy-to-use online tools and a powerful database of non-residential projects, bidders, companies and contacts.

The SmartProject News system has become widely popular with U.S. contractors and subcontractors, since a major upgrade in August 2009 that delivered enhanced search features and new U.S. metro-area subscriptions to help users quickly target relevant construction projects.

This innovative service is now tailored specifically to meet the needs of the Canadian construction industry with over 40 new metro-area subscription options and easy-to-use search features including key word and map-based search in any province, territory or metro-area.

“The new SmartProject News platform is an excellent fit for small to mid-sized Canadian construction companies that want to find and track projects more efficiently,” said Rich Remington, Vice President of Product and Technology, Reed Construction Data. “Within minutes, users can set localized target areas to monitor potentially profitable opportunities.”

Enhanced features on SmartProject News allow users to efficiently search, sort and track projects within their subscription, receive e-mail alerts when projects update, and even identify opportunities in locations outside of a paid subscription area.

The SmartProject News database includes thousands of ICI and engineering project leads available to customers. Flexible and low-priced purchase options include full access to localized areas, as well as project bundles of 10 or 25.

“We are delighted to provide the popular SmartProject News service readily adapted for Canadian contractors” added Mark Casaletto, Vice President and General Manager, Reed Construction Data Canada. “Reed is the market leader in Canada for project leads and related services and customers now have another powerful tool in their toolbox.”
