NRCA AND BUILDSITE PARTNER TO BRING INFORMATION TO ROOFING CONTRACTORS Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and BuildSite LLC, Oakland, Calif., have partnered to launch The Roofing Industry Product Center, which will be available in mid-February. The Roofing Industry Product Center will be part of an NRCA/BuildSite Industry Information Center, which will be accessible from www.nrca.net and www.buildsite.com and will act as an integrated single source for product and technical information to support NRCA members' day-to-day activities. The Roofing Industry Product Center is a BuildSite-powered database containing information about roofing materials manufacturers and their products. The database will be searchable by manufacturer, product category or distributor location and provide links to important documents, such as product data, material safety data sheets, installation details and International Code Council reports. BuildSite provides a variety of product and service offerings that will give NRCA members access to manufacturer product data. "BuildSite Free" lets users search and access product and manufacturer information and important documents. Users also can subscribe to BuildSite Software, a software as a service (SaaS) offering, which allows data to be pulled from the database and easily plugged into day-to-day workflow. In particular, BuildSite Software helps manage time-consuming processes such as architectural submittals. For more information, contact Jeff Jarvis, NRCA's director of advertising, at (800) 323-9545, ext. 7512 or jjarvis@nrca.net or Doug Steele, BuildSite's director of sales, at (616) 735-0595 or dsteele@buildsite.com.
