BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2002

A focus on customers and "bottom line" results keeps e-Builder (http://www.e-Builder.net), a leader in construction management applications, growing in a tough economy as it today announced it was named to the list of Florida's 100 fastest growing companies for the second year in a row.

In its sixth year, the annual Florida 100 (http://www.florida100.com) recognizes the fastest growing private companies in Florida. This prestigious program, sponsored by the University of Florida's Warrington College of Business Administration and the Fisher School of Accounting, highlights the hard work, business acumen and creative efforts of the top entrepreneurs across Florida.

"This was definitely a challenging year for all business, especially the technology sector, and making the Florida 100 means even more to us the second year," said e-Builder President Ron Antevy. "In 2001, many similar companies went bankrupt or they were acquired because their products or business philosophies simply did not make sense. Not e-Builder, we have maintained a clear focus on our customers and are reaping the benefits of operating according to tried and true business practices."

e-Builder recently introduced its Team Builder Reporter, the latest component for the company's popular TeamBuilder Web-based construction program management system and also served as a major sponsor for Outlook 2002 Executive Conference, the construction industry's premier conference produced by McGraw-Hill Construction Information Group (NYSE:MHP).
