Ft. Lauderdale, FL – February 7, 2006 – e-Builder, a leading developer of Project Management and Collaboration Software, announced plans to host its Annual User Conference on November 1-3, 2006 at The Mayfair Hotel and Spa in Coconut Grove, FL.  The conference is a think tank for construction professionals to share ideas on the benefits of technology as an enabler of project management best practices in the construction industry. Building and construction professionals will have an opportunity to learn about project lifecycle management, business process management best practices, and also learn about new technology innovations and their effect on the industry.

The conference targets diverse construction market segments, including homebuilding, manufacturing, healthcare, retail and education.  Ron Antevy, President of e-Builder, said “the construction industry is still waking up to the benefits achieved through leveraging web-based construction management applications.  The rising constructions costs are providing developers with added impetus to streamline the construction cycle ”.  He added “while some are still resistant to change, we are happy to educate construction professionals in how technology can be an enabler of project management best practices”.
 
At last year’s conference, keynote speaker Norbert Young, President of McGraw Hill Construction, discussed key trends impacting the construction industry, and where these trends are leading.  This year Mr. Young has been invited to return and share his insights and opinions on where technology is leading the industry. Other notable companies participating in the conference include K. Hovnanian Homes, and FMI, Inc.
