Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — June 23, 2008  — FASTTAC, a software development company that provides cutting edge solutions for the Architectural/Engineering/Construction industry announces that its FAST Document Control and Mobility System (DCMS) software, offers distinct advantages to green building design and construction, improving operational efficiencies and enhancing the A/E/C’s role on green building projects.

FAST DCMS manages a digital document and drawing control system that reduces or eliminates the need for paper drawings, better conserving diminishing natural resources. Project documents are seamlessly shared and managed electronically among team members. Reproduction and shipping costs are significantly reduced, and transportation emissions from reprographic deliveries are cut back entirely.

FAST DCMS assists users to build accurately and better manage materials and supplies. “Projects are built once because users always work from the latest drawings. Mistakes and rework are minimized, reducing material waste and disposal of excess construction debris,” said Ray Steeb, President and CEO.

FASTTAC not only encourages environmentally responsible design and building strategies, but may help to reduce overall costs for building green. “FAST DCMS does not count toward LEEDTM credits, but currently we are working with the USGBC to develop a strategy for its usage to obtain credits,” says Steeb. FAST DCMS contributes to a quality built environment and conserves natural resources, making staff more efficient, using less energy and getting more done with less.
