State Construction is Booming!
In case you haven't noticed, construction in North Carolina is booming, particularly with the $3.1 billion bond project underway for The University of North Carolina (16 campus system) and the North Carolina Community College System (151 campuses). Opportunities abound, yet firms have trouble getting information about these projects or finding the appropriate contacts. If you have access to a computer and the Internet, you can begin staying up on what's happening in state construction. The North Carolina Purchase and Contract website allows you to register your firm to receive email notification of both design and construction related projects. The site even provides you with direct access to the State Construction Office, where you can review guidelines and requirements directly from the State Construction Manual. Information about community college projects is available at http://www.ncccs.cc.nc.us/Facility_Services/index.html.
