Builders, start your search engines
A Chico native has unveiled a web site designed to help builders and their cohorts connect with one another for projects.
Tom Wilson, who went through Sierra View Elementary, Bidwell Junior, Pleasant Valley High and Butte College before attending California State University at Hayward and settling in Castro Valley, said his Web site - www.tmwcommerce.com - lets him serve as kind of an intermediary to let those in the industry know, for a fee, where they might be needed.
"The main thing I'm selling is information," he explained. For example, a subscriber like an architect can go online and search by county (Butte's not one of them yet; most are Bay Area) and find projects that are in the works. They can then bid on them or just gauge the market. Wilson said his targets include folks in real estate, general contractors, movers, subcontractors, suppliers and the like -- "anything that has to do with a facility
being renovated or constructed."
"That cuts down on their marketing time," he added. |
