Public construction work is scattered everywhere
Schools, municipalities, transit agencies, and federal facilities all buy construction work, and each puts it out to bid in its own way. For a contractor trying to keep crews busy, finding those projects means checking a patchwork of portals, bid boards, and plan rooms — every week, in every place you can work.
Miss a posting and you miss the job. Worse, the projects most likely to fit your crew size and trade are often buried among large general-contractor packages and out-of-area work that you would never bid on.
