The world’s largest building product information network AEC Online has made a foray into the Middle East with the launch of its regional portal, www.aeconline.ae, which is part of the AEC information network of the Swiss-based Docu Group that already covers 10 countries in Europe, North America and Asia.

AEC Online will deliver up-to-date construction material information, including product details, brochures and specifications in a cost efficient way to architects, contractors and developers in the Middle East region, says a spokesman for the portal.
Through AEC Online, architects, contractors and developers can easily access company and product information. Brochures, specifications and CAD details will be available for download. The portal's automated Request For Information system enables users to request product clarifications, printed material and other requirements from one or multiple companies in a simple operation.
AEC Online portal is published in cooperation with Tecnoserve in Dubai. “We are very pleased to be able to work together with a partner that has in-depth knowledge of the building and construction industry in the region. In the next few months, we will also expand our network into additional countries in Europe,” he said.
The network, was created by the Docu Group in 2002, and has since seen a steady growth in geographical coverage and content.
