Hello, marbuck-ga!
I believe I have found most of the major (and some of the smaller)
players in the construction bid lead industry, since I am now starting
to go in circles. If there are some small, local companies that I have
not uncovered in my searches which you feel are important, please give
me a head's up, since I will try to figure out why they did not come
up in my search strategy.
The primary difference in the better construction bid posting
companies is whether they provide an online view of plans and
blueprints. If online access to plans is not necessary, then the major
factors to consider are cost, regions served and the amount of job
listings. It is difficuts to provide a "rating" of the companies I
have listed, since I have not used them myself and it is hard to tell
how many actual projects they offer and their ease of use without
having a first-hand, working knowledge of the service. However, it is
quite obvious that some of the companies are lacking either because
they cover a very limited region, or have very few jobs posted for
bid. Therefore, when considering smaller regions, the Builder's
exchanges provide a good option, since they are local in scope and
usually provide some sort of online or nearby plan room.
Two companies that seem to stand out in terms of cost and plan
viewing provisions are CProjects and Construction Bid Board, because
they both have fair pricing and allow online viewing of project plans.
Unfortunately, they are both limited in the regions they serve.
BidOcean is also an excellent service, but is very expensive, as is US
Projects. Construction Data Corporation seems to be an excellent
service, but does not provide online viewing of project plans.
I called McGraw Hill to get a ballpark figure on pricing for their
service. In fact, I called twice. If the actual figure they provided
me is truly for an annual subscription to nationwide data (which is
what I asked about) then I don't see anything that comes close to
comparing, price and service-wise. However, if it was not the weekend
already, I think I would be tempted to make a third phone call. The
price seems extremely cheap compared to other services. For instance,
a quote for an annual subscription on BidOcean which covers the entire
US striclty for commercial/industrial building projects, came out at
over $10,000. The highest annual subscription quoted to me on the
phone for the McGraw Hill Dodge Reports is only 1100/year. If that
quote is correct, there is an enormous price discrepancy.
Again, I want to stress that it is very hard to make an accurate
judgement about "the best" companies without actually trying their
service. For that reason, I have tried to provide comprehensive
information about each individual supplier below.
(I did also include a few references to government job-listing
portals, but don't know if you are interested in those.)
