The Best Construction Lead Generation Software in Quebec (2026): Montreal, SEAO and What Covers the Province Today

The best construction lead software in Quebec depends on the kind of work. For public work, SEAO is the official tendering system every Quebec public body must use, and it is free to search. For commercial projects around the bid, ConstructConnect and Quebec project news services such as Constructo track what is coming. For private projects before they are bid, permit-based tools are the answer elsewhere in North America, but Montreal's borough permits are not in Builtie's feed yet. Builtie covers Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia with live permit data and verified decision makers, so it fits Quebec contractors whose territory crosses into those provinces.

The shortlist in Quebec

Descriptions are category-level and current as of September 2026; check scope and pricing with each vendor. Job-management tools such as Jobber, Buildertrend and Procore are not on this list because they manage leads rather than find them; see which software finds leads.

How local permitting shapes the leads in Quebec

Quebec runs construction differently from the rest of Canada. Contractors are licensed by category through the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, construction labor is regulated province-wide through the Commission de la construction du Québec, permits on the island of Montreal are issued by each borough, and most of the industry stops for a two-week construction holiday in late July. Public bodies must tender through SEAO.

What that means for choosing a tool: public work is easy to find on SEAO and heavily contested; private work is not published anywhere and has to be found through borough permits, planning notices and relationships. Builtie does not ingest Montreal's borough permits yet, so for Quebec today SEAO plus a Quebec project news service is the practical stack, and Builtie is worth adding if your territory also reaches into Ontario.

Not covered yet: Montreal, Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau are not in the permit feed today. When you ask the project finder on the Builtie homepage about an uncovered city, the request is recorded and counts toward which city is added next.

Where public construction work is posted in Quebec

• SEAO: the official electronic tendering system for Quebec public bodies.
• CanadaBuys: federal tenders in Quebec.

Public portals list work that owners are required to advertise. Most private work never appears on them; see where to find construction bids in North America for the full map, including GC bid networks.

Verified decision-maker contacts in Quebec

A contact is only useful if the person still works there and decides the work. Builtie traces each project from a public permit or planning record to the operating company, matches a person by the employer they declare themselves, and corroborates name, company and location before storing it. In Builtie's own checks, 17% of people matched to a construction company by name alone worked somewhere else. A general office line is labelled as one. How the verification works.

Plans

Builtie's Starter plan is $79 per seat per month (CAD) for 20 projects; Growth is $99 for 50 projects and adds the LinkedIn and email outreach you run yourself. Opening a project spends one credit, and the decision makers, emails, phones and AI call script inside it are included. Your monthly credits reset at each renewal, and extra credit packs are valid for 30 days. The free trial runs 7 days with 10 projects. Custom, where Builtie's team runs the outreach for you, starts from CAD $1,500 a month on top of a Growth seat.

Builtie's deepest coverage is in the Greater Toronto Area, where it started; depth in any city depends on what that municipality publishes. Ask for live sample projects in your own service area before you buy.
