For contractors
Jobs where your scope is still unlisted.
Most invites go to the subs a GC already knows. BidSeer finds jobs where nobody in your scope shows on the filings yet, and the GC’s office number.

How to use it
Call in the morning, before the GC's day fills up. Ask who handles bids in your scope for that address and whether they're still taking numbers. Then send the draft intro that comes with the lead, as is or edited, the same day. Our article When to call a GC on a new job goes deeper.
