Associate Membership
Associate Membership is available to firms
or individuals, located within Manitoba or
not, who have an interest in the welfare
of the industry. Associate Memberships
are for companies that support the work
of construction companies by providing
products or services. These companies
include businesses that do not require access
to plans and construction documents, such
as accountants, lawyers, engineers, banks,
insurance companies, etc. Members at this
level are limited in the amount of direct
construction information they receive.
Associate members receive the benefits listed
at the top of this section, but do not receive
the weekly Open Project bulletin or have
access to the CARM Planroom.
Regular Membership
Regular Membership is for companies engaged
in construction or those who distribute or
supply to construction companies for work
on jobsites and require access to construction
plans and construction documents. These
members receive the weekly Open Project
bulletin and have full access to the CARM
Planroom to view and/or print (at member cost)
project plans or specifications.
PlanPoint/Online Membership
PlanPoint/Online Membership is for companies
engaged in construction, those who distribute
or supply to construction companies for
work on jobsites and those who want to have
24-hour electronic access to construction
information without having to use valuable
time sourcing projects independently. This
membership includes drawings, specifications
and automated notifications through access
to CARM’s PlanPoint platform, in addition
to the automated Daily Digest and weekly
Open Project bulletins, and weekly Bids &
Awards bulletin.
