Construction BD Is About Timing — Strides Gets You There First
Construction business development has one cardinal rule: you have to be in front of the owner or GC before the RFP goes out. By the time a project is publicly bid, the best opportunities have already been allocated to firms with established relationships. The companies that consistently win construction work are the ones who identify projects early — in the permit application or planning approval stage — and build relationships before competition begins.
Strides monitors construction-specific signals that indicate early project opportunity: building permit filings, zoning change approvals, developer acquisition announcements, environmental review submissions, and public infrastructure appropriations. These signals identify projects 6–24 months before they reach the bid stage — providing a window to build the relationship that wins the work.
Construction outreach has to be project-specific, not capability-generic. A GC who receives an email saying "we'd love to be your preferred subcontractor" gets hundreds of those per week. An email that references a specific project they just pulled a permit for — and proposes a conversation about that specific scope — gets a response. Strides researches and generates the latter.
Construction technology vendors (contech SaaS, equipment companies, material suppliers) use Strides differently — identifying contractors who have recently expanded into new project types, won bids in new geographies, or whose technology stack signals they are evaluating new solutions.

Can Strides work for subcontractors, general contractors, and owners' reps?
Yes. Subcontractors use Strides to identify GCs who have recently won bids in their trade area. GCs use Strides to identify developers and project owners in pre-development stages. Owners' reps use Strides to connect with institutional and commercial developers.
