As always, blueprint reproduction is available from our Bloomfield Hills office and can be shipped via UPS. In addition, through our agreement with Staples, members are eligible for significant savings on print services. Contact Lisa Walsh at 888-224-3784 ext. 2026539 for more information about setting up your Staples account.

- CAM has overhauled its operations, technology infrastructure, and personnel to improve its Virtual Planroom/Project News platform; our member portal has been transitioned to a mobile-responsive site; and development on a Construction Buyers Guide mobile app is well underway.
The entire CAM team remains committed to servicing our 2,000 member companies and we are always available to provide information, resources, discounted programs, and more. We’re looking forward to implementing and adopting new technology in a continuing effort to bring you the best membership experience.
