CARM’s FREE
Services for
Construction
Project Owners
CARM is pleased to offer the following services free-of-charge
for any construction-related or road-building tenders. CARM
strives to meet the needs of Manitoba construction tenderers
and contractors, so please call the office any time to request
services you may require. We are very keen to assist.
The PlanPoint platform is a free service to project owners.
For owners, the platform significantly decreases, if not
completely eliminates, the time required to field phone calls
and distribute plans and specifications for a tender. Posting to
PlanPoint is a fast and extremely convenient method to find
construction tenders with detailed information and 24/7 access.

Online Project Listing
The project information posted on behalf of owners comes
directly from the tender documents. CARM only posts
document content and the information owners want to appear,
which is completely at their discretion.
Some key information may include (if applicable):
• What the project is, brief description
• Where to obtain the documents
• Type of tender (RFQ, RFP, etc.)
• Construction start/end dates
• Where the project is located
• Estimated value
• Where to submit bids
• Owner and/or construction manager
• Who to contact for questions
• Engineers/architects
• Site visits, if necessary
• Bonding/safety requirements
• Tender close date/time
• Addenda/notifications
In some cases, owners prefer to receive pricing from “subtrades
only” or the tender is open to “invited general contractors
only.” This information is included in the project description
section of the platform to ensure the owner receives bids from
the preferred pool, therefore, avoiding any confusion during the
bidding phase.
