Reed Construction Data launches Mapping tool within Cordell Connect
A leading provider of construction information, Reed Construction Data (formerly Cordell Building Information Services) has launched a revolutionary tool within Cordell Connect - its online project lead service.
The new tool, called Cordell Map-It, allows users of Cordell Connect to select a project and then view it on a map. Users can map one project at a time, or several projects on the one map.
Cordell Connect is a web-based system which gives users access to information on projects in planning, out to tender, and under construction. The system also allows users to search and store project information, track updates, manage contact information, and produce marketing letters to relevant companies.
“One of the most exciting features of Cordell Map-It”, Rob Wild, Managing Director of Reed Construction Data says, “is the ability to view high resolution aerial maps for various areas across Australia. These maps are put together from photographs taken by aircraft and are the best resolution, commercially available aerial maps in Australia.”
Cordell Map-It also allows users to view property boundaries, street numbers, property area and titles, as well as measure dimensions and the area of land parcels. “These features give our clients the opportunity to get a ‘snapshot’ of the location of one or several construction projects, which can then help to determine the best places to position new sales outlets, branches, depots or storage facilities,” Wild says. “For property developers especially, the mapping tool combined with our project information represents an invaluable resource for highlighting new opportunities.”
“Another part of Cordell Map-It that we’re really pleased about is the fact that we can offer this tool to Cordell Connect clients at no extra charge. We really feel strongly about giving our customers the best value for their money and, since we’re the only Australian construction information provider who offers this tool, we know how beneficial our clients will find it,” Wild adds.
Other applications for Cordell Map-It include being able to more accurately define sales territories based on the location of projects, as well as enabling better planning of deliveries to construction sites by isolating the best access points.
Cordell Map-It is available now to subscribers of the Cordell Connect service.
Reed Construction Data, previously known as Cordell Building Information Services, has been researching construction activity and building costs for over 35 years.
