"Fifty Percentof the space needed in 2030 will be built between now and then. The South and West will experience the greatest surge in construction." - The Brookings Institute (Dec. 2004)

Essentially, all of the housing and buildings you see today will be duplicated again in the next 25 years, and LDI is positioned to capitalize on this phenomenal growth.

Commercial construction is the #1 industry worldwide. U.S. spending, now at $1.3 trillion, is projected to reach $25 trillion by 2030.

Construction projectsare driven by tons of paperwork. Most of it oversized wide format drawings usually 40 to 60 pages per job. General contractors, sub contractors, architects, engineers and materials suppliers all require these documents for all phases of construction projects.

Making these copies and delivering them is LDI's core business.To help this process, we've built the only network that allows contractors to log on to one free website and discover construction opportunities throughout the south!

In addition, contractors can join our mailing list and be notified of new projects daily through our LDI-Line, On-Line service. Many of these subs order drawings from us and submit their bids before the general contractor even becomes aware of their interest in the job!
