CCPI Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is the Electronic Plans Room (EPR) / CCPI?

CATB’s electronic plans room (EPR) service known as CCPI provides around-the-clock, unlimited online access to hundreds of electronic construction project drawings, specifications and addenda at your convenience.

How much does this service cost?

CATB's electronic plans room service known as CCPI (ConstructConnect Project Intelligence) is available at no additional cost for CATB members.  It's one of your membership benefits.

Why is the Electronic Plans Room service known as CCPI better than other plans room service providers?

We are project aggregators, so unlike other providers, we don’t have just a portion of projects; we have all the projects that we know of, including plans & specifications. CCPI is not just an electronic plans room; it also includes Invitation to Bid (ITB) features, workflow management tools, and CRM-like tools to manage your pre-construction projects. We have a company database in addition to a project database, which is essential for your business development needs and to study your potential clients and competitors.

Other electronic plans room service providers often charge additional fees for access to certain projects in addition to your regular monthly or annual fees - we do not.

Members can “Watch” projects they are interested in and will automatically receive notifications of all updates to those projects without having to manually check for changes.

Our electronic plans room service CCPI allows you to keep track of who won a particular project; you can also export a project list or company list online.

Our project documents are broken down by CSI MasterFormat Divisions, so you can jump right to the portions of the documents that are relevant to you.

We report required CSI MasterFormat Divisions on each and every project, so you can filter down only to projects that require your trade.
