CONSTRUCTION firms will soon be able to get in touch with thousands of sub-contractors at the click of a mouse, thanks to a Bolton firm.

IDN Systems, based in Egerton, will launch SubContractorDatabase.com on May 15, to bring what it claims to be a full spectrum of the UK's specialist service providers into one directory.

Craig Hall, managing director, said: "It is anticipated that the site will rapidly become the industry standard for sourcing and promoting best-in-class contract services."

There will be more than 90 categories of services covered by the site, from everyday subcontractors and design consultants to specialists in asbestos removal, structural steelworkers and traffic management experts.
