    I am not a contractor. I am on the architecture/design side of the process and can confirm that from everything i see, Blue Book, Construction Journal, Construction Network sites are all businesses that absolutely make money only for themselves, not contractors by selling subscriptions to their site. Our company has no benefit from using the services but I am hit up at least once per week from a rep by one of those companies asking for information to "update their records" on our clients' projects. Essentially, a bidding GC will upload the project to the platform because they have been pulled into a subscription and they are looking for subs in territories they don't always work in. Then the online service picks up on the project and seeks out missing information by emailing or calling the architect, engineers, client, etc. They'll ask for the start date, end date, awarded GC, and sometimes the contract amount. I have occasionally even requested projects to be removed from their site but it is usually a waste of my time to do so. Most all my clients hire their GCs based on previous experience or trusted referrals and those GCs are good because they usually have their own network of subs. I am sure that the service can generate leads for sub contractors but in my experience, those cold calls/emails usually go no where. When I do receive some which have compassionate language with legitimate interest in being part of the project, I may pass things on but not often. Based on everything i see and learning of the outrageous pricing on these subscriptions, i would recommend most all contractors to use the money to establish relationships with both national and local GCs (or even architects) who will ask you for a bid in the future rather than chasing down leads from a construction network. Hope the comment may be able to help someone.

    If the space you’re inserting the tool through is so narrow that the frame is scratching the coating off, then you are underwedging the door. While you should definitely not overinflate the air wedge and risk bending the frame, you need to create a gap wide enough that you can insert and maneuver your long reach without resistance. P.S. Personally, I recommend using the Flex Max tool (As it is thinner in diameter than the Quick Max which means you don’t have to wedge the frame as much.)
