Feb. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Simpson Strong-Tie has officially signed on to be a Founding Sponsor with the pro builder-focused website, BuilderLink. This new affiliation means that over the next six weeks Simpson Strong-Tie will help populate BuilderLink’s technical library and online estimating module with their full array of product specifications, application guidelines, images and illustrations. The alliance between an industry leader like Simpson Strong-Tie and this new business-media platform represents an important development in BuilderLink’s mission to provide the growing audience of web-savvy builders with an efficient one-stop online resource for valuable product information.

According to a BuilderLink advisory board comprised of actively-online building professionals from around the country, product information tends to be scattered or buried in outdated websites, making research for specifying or estimating difficult at best. At the advisory board's request, BuilderLink is attempting to correct this dearth of information by populating the site's technical library and online estimating module with product data from all the major manufacturers. Simpson Strong-Tie is one of the first.

"Simpson Strong-Tie is a value-based company," says Mike Moran, vice president of Simpson Strong-Tie builder programs. "Market needs are shifting, so we're always looking to participate in new efforts that benefit the builder, improve efficiencies and help expand the market. We see tremendous potential in how BuilderLink is organizing and presenting manufacturer-supplied material and are excited to be a part of this game-changing endeavor."

Steve Killgore, president of BuilderLink, echoes Moran's enthusiasm. "We've always known we've had something special with BuilderLink. And now with the credibility that Simpson Strong-Tie brings to our effort, we hope other manufacturers will see the value as well and join us."
