When looking for new work, contractors today face many challenges, including limited project information, time-consuming bid preparation processes, and difficulty managing multiple projects at once.

Project search software designed for the commercial construction industry can help contractors find, track, and bid projects. It can also streamline the bidding process, making preparing and sending competitive bids easier.

Key Considerations

#

1. Is it a trusted, comprehensive source of new projects?

Good project search software should give you access to both public and private projects – a lot of them. It should also centralize all the information you need to know about a project, including relevant dates, documents, and contacts.

#

2. Does the software have advanced search and filtering options?

Look for tools that can help you focus on the most relevant opportunities so that you increase your chances of success. Ideally, the software also has advanced filters – location, project type, budget range – to help you narrow your search to the best opportunities.

3. Does it include bid management tools?

Software that includes customizable templates, helps you with bid leveling and other calculations, and has built-in document management can help you create professional, accurate bids.
