Press Release Body = Fremont, California, April 12, 2006 - New enhancements to the
Construction CommunicatorT (www.constructioncommunicator.com) online
construction-document-management system improve communication with multiple
consultants.

Construction Communicator, which is targeted at mid-sized construction projects,
enables owners, contractors and architects to further automate contract
administration. The easy-to-use online software helps construction professionals to
manage Requests for Information (RFIs), submittals, change orders and other
construction documents that affect the day-to-day progress of the job.

New Features Help Architects Manage Consultants' Document Reviews and Responses

The new features include the ability to easily assign RFIs to lead consultants for
"action" and to others for "information" or "comment." This helps the architect or
construction manager coordinate work among different consultants. It also helps
consultants prioritize their work by presenting RFIs that require responses ahead of
the documents that are informational or only require comment.

To further expedite communication, automatic emails can also notify consultants
whenever RFIs require their attention. This provides a back-up method of
communication for those consultants who infrequently log into the system for a
specific project.

The email includes a link that automatically logs the consultant into the
appropriate construction document on the web. The screen indicates whether the
consultant needs to respond or comment. Each consultant response or comment is
stored individually. Blind-copy emails can be sent to owner representatives or to
others who need to monitor certain documents.

"These new features are in direct response to customer requests and continue our
commitment to make online contract administration simpler and more effective," said
Richard Sampson, president of Richard Sampson Associates, developers of Construction
Communicator. "We firmly believe that, if you surf the web, you can manage
construction documents online."

Pricing

Pricing for the Construction Communicator subscription service is on a per-user
basis. Three pricing levels are offered to suit smaller (maximum of 15 users),
mid-sized (maximum of 49 users) and larger (maximum of 100 users) organizations.

system is offered without email notification, which can be added at any time.
