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
