Press Release Summary = Prime Edge Asbuilt Services has launched AsbuiltEdge
Technologies in an effort to develop applications to support newly invented building
data collection method.

Press Release Body = San Francisco, California. - November 2, 2006 - Prime Edge
Asbuilt Services today announced that it is underway to develop a full set of
business applications for use by of professionals within construction, property
management and design industries. Software applications include estimating software
interface is called PrimeCue. EdgeCue is a CAD based software package and PlanCue is
a facility plan management interface. Beta versions of these packages have been used
by the company for the last two years and the updated version of the products will
allow users to take advantage of a patent pending method for building data
collection for estimating, drafting and management purposes, making it easier than
ever to prepare asbuilt floor plans, estimate amount of work to be performed or
provide a detailed information with regard to the occupied space for facility
planning purposes. In an effort to make this technology available to the industry
professionals Prime Edge had launched AsbuiltEdge Technologies which will be
responsible for the software and business development associated with the system.

Despite advances with regard to the CAD software, many facility managers cannot
efficiently run operations due to the luck of updated asbuilts for the structure. At
times either due to lost information or luck of track record, available asbuilt
plans do not match the existing conditions present in reality. These fundamental
differences often result in inadequate decision-making due to the poor information.
AsbuiltEdge has been determined to bring an affordable and, more importantly,
flexible method of data collection which reduces the amount of measurements to be
taken and allows users to input various information such as cost data for estimating
purposes, employee data for the preparation of move reports, and properties of
architectural elements for rapid CAD plan drafting on site. All of the above
functions became available with the development of five basic measurement algorithms
which have been used by the Prime Edge in the effort to simplify asbuilt data
collection process.

"Asbuilt data collection is tedious task which can be done calculating processor,
letting people concentrate on more important things" said Dmitry Shkipin, co-founder
of Asbuilt Edge Technologies. "The idea behind the technology was to use the
algorithms as a tool for collecting needed data, let the computer process it, and
the user to classify it right there on site"


Estimating on site.
Estimating the work to be performed on site is something most contractors are
staying away from; primarily due to the fact that it requires basic calculations to
be performed based on the plan take-offs which is usually done at the company's
office. PrimeCue has allowed an easy way to get customized, highly detailed
estimating reports on site without needing to see the existing plans. PrimeCue
includes functions which allow users to input price/sq foot data, work task
descriptions, all of which work in an integration with familiar programs such as
Microsoft Excel(r). PrimeCue will be primarily used by the specialty contractors who
are dealing with similar work tasks day in and day out, thus enhancing the entire
field take-off experience and accuracy of the estimates given.


Facility Management
PlanCue helps to ease the data collection process required to obtain space and
occupant information in an office or industrial facility. With this tool property
management can get easily involved in planning of the spaces, proposed moves of the
personnel, and deliver that information to its clients so that the entire team
always knows what to expect. PlanCue is expected to have features which allow user
to collect highly detailed and customizable data with regard to the space, create
all necessary updates during moves and construction, and share such information with
the entire facility management team.


Keeping Data Collection Time Down
Prime Edge has been working on the difficult task of understanding which repetitive
tasks can be doe by a calculating processor rather than a person for the last
several years. In the effort to develop a feasible solution for data collection in
the filed Prime Edge has developed five distinctive algorithms which allow users to
take out up to fifty percent of measurement tasks currently required. Moreover, the
information gathered using these algorithms is classified by the calculating
processor automatically, providing a better overall value to the user. Prime Edge
believes that it has uncovered one of the most efficient yet cost-sensible methods
of data collection currently available. System is not only able to gather required
information, it is also capable of evaluating that information quickly and easily to
produce cost estimates, database spreadsheets, CAD drafting aids and other
functions.

Availability
Asbuilt Edge Technologies is currently testing the use of all five algorithms in
practice, providing an invaluable productivity input and related data for future
use. Founded in 2006, AsbuiltEdge Technologies is looking to have its data
collection solutions available to the consumers in the middle of 2007. If you are
