Naperville, IL (PRWEB) January 26, 2014 -- A survey and webcast regarding construction request for quote (RFQ/RFP) effectiveness and best practices is announced by the Construction Marketing Association (CMA). The results of the national survey will be presented at the April 8, 2014 (1 pm CST) webcast, along with a panel discussion.

The anonymous and confidential survey will identify how Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) firms of all types and sizes manage the RFQ/RFP process, what are RFQ/RFP trends that impact business, and ultimately provide never before identified benchmarks for RFQ/RFP success.

Webcast panelists include Mark McLaren, Director of Business Development for Bird Construction Group (Mississauga, ON), and Deborah J. Hodges, Executive Director of the Construction Writers Association, Past President of SMPS-Chicago, President of Golden Square, and served in business development roles at Bovis Lend Lease, RTKL, OWP&P (Cannon Design) and others.

“The topic of construction RFQ effectiveness or best practices is seldom discussed and written about," states Neil M. Brown. "Our national survey will identify benchmarks and trend insights that AEC business development executives never had."
