Civil Engineering Expert Cites Appia, Bid Express in Groundbreaking Construction Technology Textbook

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – February 20, 2007: Both the Appia construction management system and the Bid Express online bidding service are showcased in a new textbook featuring recognized emerging technologies for the transportation construction industry. “Information Technology for Construction Managers, Architects, and Engineers,” released December 2006, was written by Rutgers University professor Dr. Trefor Williams, P.E.

“Inclusion in Dr. Williams’ book as a forerunner in the construction management industry is a great honor,” said Joe Phelan, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Info Tech. “It provides us the opportunity to reach out to the next generation of civil engineers, while contributing to the growing body of engineering knowledge.”

As a certified professional engineer, Williams was asked to share his expertise to create a comprehensive professional reference of established and emerging technologies in the construction, engineering and architectural fields. In his book, Williams highlights Estimator, Expedite, and FieldManager software, and the Bid Express service as “best in category” solutions for the transportation construction industry. These applications are judged top in their categories for innovation and value to the organization, ease of use, ease of integration and return on investment.

Williams is a professor of civil engineering at Rutgers University, teaching construction management for 19 years. He serves as a member of the Transportation Research Board’s Construction Management Committee, the ASCE Construction Research Council and the ASCE Construction Institute’s Wireless Construction Committee.
