DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2001

MH2Technologies, the nation's leading provider of Internet-based scheduling, management, and collaboration tools for the construction industry and other verticals, today announced that it has teamed with

NewHomeSource.com to showcase thousands of new homes built by the top volume home builders to the millions of consumers who visit MH2's consumer site MichaelHoligan.com every year.

NewHomeSource.com is Austin, Texas-based Builder Homesite, Inc.'s consumer website. Builder Homesite, Inc. is a consortium of the country's leading builders.

"By blending MichaelHoligan.com with NewHomeSource.com we've created a powerhouse Internet resource for home builders and consumers alike," said Michael Holigan, president of MH2Technologies.

Between 500,000 and one million unique visitors come to MichaelHoligan.com each month, having seen the site featured on the television show Michael Holigan's Your New House. NewHomeSource.com will be the new home listing source for the MH2 web site.

"Most of our visitors are looking for new homes," said Holigan. "If you're a builder, that means we deliver the ultimate target audience. The people who come to our site will now find more quality, new-construction homes at MichaelHoligan.com than on any other single online source."

"We both share a common mission of helping the nation's builders sell more homes," said Tim Costello, president and CEO of Builder Homesite, Inc. "Our partnership with Michael Holigan.com brings together two niche-focused organizations dedicated to the new home construction process and, most importantly, to provide the consumer with all the resources needed in their search for a new home."

When visitors to MichaelHoligan.com click on "New Homes," they open the door to an unprecedented number of new-construction homes. The powerful NewHomeSource.com search engine helps consumers locate thousands of homes, view floor plans, photos, options, and information about builders and learn about their future neighborhoods.

The Map Search feature quickly locates new-home communities in over thirty states. Searches can be customized by price, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, even street address. The NewHome Planner organizes and saves searches and favorite floor plans, making research easy.

"This relationship establishes NewHomeSource.com and Michael Holigan.com as the premier players serving both the new home buyer and the new home building industry," said Builder Homesite's Costello.

Added Holigan: "Since our shared goal is to help make home builders more profitable, it's a great fit for both companies. NewHomeSource.com and MichaelHoligan.com working together is just step one toward a number of initiatives Builder Homesite and MH2 has planned. In the months to come builders and consumers will be hearing a lot more from us."

MH2Technologies offers a range of technology platforms (sales management, options, design center, scheduling, inspection, procurement, collaboration, warranty, and accounting systems) that are integrated to build total solutions for the homebuilding industry:

-- MH2 uses an open technology platform allowing all industry technology
systems and software to communicate and collaborate with each other.

-- MH2Build uses the scheduling, inspection and procurement modules so that
homebuilders and contractors can reduce cycle time and overhead and benefit
from having more exact job scheduling and data from the site in real time.

-- MH2Supply is the system used by dealers, suppliers and subcontractors to
collaborate with homebuilders and contractors. MH2Supply provides a system that
allows dealers and contractors to reach each other in a real-time manner, have
access to accurate forecasting, improve customer service, and reduce
unnecessary inventory.

-- A key advantage of MH2Technologies services is that customers can get much
more from their existing accounting and ERP systems. Since MH2 is an
application service provider, all of the MH2 systems integrate into existing
back office systems used by homebuilders, contractors and dealers.

-- MH2Technologies also provides other online solutions to benefit builders
such as lead generation for home sales, building products, and other valuable
home services.
