To reduce printing cost and environmental impact, CSM communicates and documents information through paperless processes wherever possible. PlanIT CSM is an online plan distribution system allowing all contractors, supplies and owners immediate access to the most current project information (plans, specifications, addendums, bulletins, etc) free of charge. This efficient, instant communication method is beneficial during all project stages from bidding to post construction. Since CSM Group job sites are equipped with wireless internet, CSM field personnel and trade contractors can access, view and download documents from anywhere on the project site.

For projects that are not publicly available, PlanIt CSM has facilities for secure access based on shared passwords distributed to approved parties. If a project is publicly available, the self-service sign up can be used by any interested external party to gain access to project documents. These parties’ access information is maintained for accountability.
