CAD draughter-client matching is launched as free service

. The www.cadbid.co.uk service is free to clients, and allows draughters to have a free basic listing, where they can provide details about themselves and the software they are familiar with. These details are accessible to all clients. Enhanced membership, which is free for 2008 and £49 per annum from January 2009 allows draughters to create a more detailed profile and highlight their experience in greater depth. Enhanced members can also upload photos and samples of their work, will automatically be rotationally featured on the home page as a featured draughter and will receive email alerts when a project is posted by a client for bidding. Corporate membership for companies, also presently free, but to cost £149 per annum in January, will provide the same benefits as for Enhanced members but with an expanded resources area and the resource to showcase more sample projects. Clients retain complete privacy unless they choose to contact the draughter. Once the relationship has been formed, both parties are free to work together as often as they like without reference to Cadbid.
