Why public work

Counties, cities, campuses and agencies build all year — schools, stations, renovations, public buildings. Every one of those projects is bid by a prime who cannot self-perform the whole job: electrical, drywall, sitework, mechanical, roofing. The sub scopes are decided before the prime's bid is ever opened.

The subs riding those jobs are rarely the cheapest in the county. They are the ones whose quote was in the winning bid — because they saw the project before the bid date, not after the groundbreaking.

Most subs learn a project existed when the permit board goes up. ConstructionSubBids exists so that stops happening to you.

Drywall and finishes — state office renovation, Salem OR

Questions

Where do these solicitations come from?: Public sources — the same ones any contractor can access itself at no charge. We claim no exclusive access to anything, and we never will. What you are paying for is not seeing them first; it is never having to dig for them.
Are you part of the government?: No. ConstructionSubBids is a private service, not affiliated with the U.S. government or GSA. Solicitations come from public sources you can access yourself at no charge.
What exactly do I get?: The public construction jobs out for bid — what is being built, where, roughly how big, when bids close, and which scopes a prime will need — with a link to the solicitation. One list, nothing else in it.
I'm not registered to bid yet.: You will need a UEI and an active registration before an agency can award you anything — and most primes will ask for it before they count your quote. If you have not done that yet, reply to your welcome email and we will point you right.
What if nothing fits my crews this month?: Project flow moves with seasons and budgets. Some weeks there will be three jobs in your trade, some weeks none worth pricing. Month to month means you are never paying for a quiet stretch you can out-wait.
Can I cancel?: Any time, one click, effective at the end of the month you paid for. No notice period, no call, no retention gauntlet.
Do you bid for me or guarantee me the work?: No. You quote and you build — we make sure you know what is open while there is still time for your number to be in the winning bid.

The next job in your trade is out for bid somewhere right now. See it before the bid date, not after the groundbreaking.
