    Why one database beats several sources

    Public projects are spread across many municipal, provincial, state and agency bid boards. Private projects are not posted publicly at all. Checking each source by hand takes hours and still leaves gaps. DataBid brings public and private commercial projects into one construction project lead database, so you search once and see the full picture in your market.

    02

    Public construction projects

    Public work offers steady volume and transparent bidding. DataBid tracks public tenders across Ontario, Alberta and Illinois and publishes bidders and bid results on covered projects, so you can see who bid, who won and at what price.

    03

    Private construction projects

    Private commercial work is often bid by invitation, so contractors and suppliers who are not already connected never hear about it. DataBid covers private commercial projects and shows the companies involved, giving you a way in before the bidder list is set.

    04

    Built for contractors, subcontractors and suppliers

    General contractors use DataBid to find work to bid and track competitors. Subcontractors use it to see which GCs are bidding and get on their lists. Building material suppliers use it to reach buyers early and get specified. Everyone works from the same project data, with alerts that bring new matching projects to them each day.
