Through BuildSystem, manufacturers get digital connectivity to their materials for construction and maintenance of projects.

In the absence of a uniform coding system, most of the architectural and engineering firms are not able to prepare a master database which can be used for the preparation of their construction project documents which results in problems like updating of the costs in the different project files becomes extremely difficult, It is difficult to link the items of work with the specifications in the project files, There is no effective control on the development of the specifications in the different project files etc. Thus to overcome these drawbacks 13-Digit Coding System is used in BuildSystem.
