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.

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 covers that private side; keep the tender boards for public work.
- ▸Private GC + builder projects (off-board), from building permits
- ▸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.
What Builtie does, what it doesn't, and who it's for
Builtie fills the front of your bid pipeline. It reads building permits every day, scores each project 0 to 100 for your trade and territory, stages it against your trade's bid window, names the builder or GC and a decision maker, and on the Growth plan runs LinkedIn and email outreach from your own accounts, so your estimators start from a conversation instead of a cold list. It is not estimating, takeoff, job-costing, scheduling or bid-management software, and it does not hold drawings or bid invitations; those stay in the tools you already use.
- ▸Built for trades that bid to builders and GCs: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, concrete and foundation, framing, roofing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry and millwork
- ▸Used by estimators, owners, sales reps and the managers who run them
- ▸Covers North America, with the deepest data in the Greater Toronto Area
Frequently asked questions
No. Builtie works on the private side: projects from building permits and planning records, with the builder or GC behind each one and the person who awards the trades. Public tenders are already listed for everyone on MERX, CanadaBuys, SAM.gov and city portals, so keep watching those for public work.
Most projects surface at permit-issue stage, which is typically the bid window for foundation, framing, mechanical, and electrical trades. Finish trades see them at rough-in stage.
Builtie does not connect to estimating software directly. On Growth and Custom you can export your saved projects to CSV and import them into your estimating tool; Starter does not include export.
No. Builtie finds the projects, times them to your trade's bid window, names the builder or GC and a decision maker, and on Growth runs the outreach. Takeoff, estimating, job costing, scheduling and bid invitations stay in the tools you already use.
Yes. HVAC, plumbing and electrical are among the trades Builtie scores every project for, alongside concrete, framing, roofing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry and others. Each trade has its own bid window, so a mechanical contractor and a flooring contractor see the same project at different times.
