Bid on the construction projects actually breaking ground near you
Public tender boards show you the projects nobody wants. The real work — the GC-led residential, commercial, and infill projects — gets quoted off-board, through relationships. Builtie surfaces those projects the day they break ground and puts the decision-maker in your inbox by tomorrow.

Three estimators monitoring four tender boards. 90% of what they saw was already over-bid or out of scope. Real GC work came in through one rep's personal network.
Switched to Builtie. The team now bids on 5× more private GC projects per month with project-specific first touches.
"The bids we win aren't the ones posted on a board — they're the ones we hear about first. Builtie is how we hear first now."
What's it worth to bid on 5× more matched projects?
Where the real bid opportunities live
MERX and provincial tender boards show municipal and public-sector work, which is a small slice of Ontario construction. The majority of trade subcontract work comes from private GCs and builders awarding off-board. Builtie surfaces both.
- ▸Private GC + builder projects (off-board)
- ▸Municipal + provincial tenders (on-board)
- ▸Stage-aware: bid window, mobilization, rough-in, finish
Bid contacts already enriched
Every project ships with the PM, estimator, or procurement contact — name, title, email, mobile, LinkedIn. No more emailing 'estimating@'.
First-touch templates that win replies
Builtie drafts a bid-request first touch per project — referencing the address, stage, and builder — in your team's voice. Estimators spend their day pricing work, not writing emails.
