Follow on Google News | Simpson Strong-Tie Aligns with BuilderLinkSimpson Strong-Tie has signed on to be a Founding Sponsor of BuilderLink, an online community, a technical library, and online estimating tool in a single platform.
By: Polaris, Inc. 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actively-online building professionals from around the country, product information tends to be scattered or buried in outdated websites, making research for specifying or estimating difficult at best.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- 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." # # # BuilderLink is a growing social community, a technical library with a powerful search engine and an online estimating tool in a single platform. Using the site, building professionals can network, exchange information, expand the reach of their websites, and even assemble real-time online estimates based on current lumber and material pricing.
