SUMMARY
Getting commercial construction leads isn’t luck — it’s a system. In this video, I show you the exact instant lead-gen process I’d use if I were starting from scratch to build a pipeline fast. You’ll learn how to leverage Dodge, The Blue Book, ConstructConnect, and BuildingConnected the right way (no passively “waiting for invites”), filter by region, stage, ownership, and valuation, and turn listings into gateway jobs that open doors to negotiated and awarded work.

I’ll walk you through the phone + email script that gets you invited, how to ask for the master bid list, and why each new contact unlocks 10–12 off-platform opportunities. Track it in a simple sheet or CRM, and in ~60 days you can be on 100+ bid lists—with a steady stream of projects you control.

Timestamps:
0:00 The truth about “easy” commercial construction leads
0:30 Instant leads mindset: use tech, stop waiting for referrals
0:43 Invest in a lead platform (Dodge/Blue Book/ConstructConnect)
1:22 Don’t overthink the platform — they all surface projects & contacts
2:00 Bonus: cold outreach tests (subscribe for updates)
2:30 If I had to restart from $0 → what I’d do first
2:47 Pick trade classification; go to Projects
3:00 Set region (example: South Florida counties)
3:35 Platform-agnostic filters: same play on any tool
3:50 Stages & types: focus on bidding + general building/houses
4:07 Bid dates ≠ hard deadlines (private jobs are flexible)
4:30 Use last 90 days + current to expand targets (unlimited leads)
4:46 Public vs private (paperwork, bonding, background checks)
5:19 Estimating capacity & moving bid dates (how we do it for clients)
5:30 Ownership: choose Private to simplify early wins
6:00 Add a valuation cap (e.g., ≤ $3M GC value for starters)
6:30 GC approach: call the architect/owner’s rep directly
7:30 Sub approach: find plan holders & bidders (call invited GCs)
8:00 Phone & email script: “Are you accepting proposals for [trade]?”
8:15 The kicker: “What other projects do you have coming up?”
8:30 Ask to be added to the master bid list (prequal as needed)
8:56 Track contacts in Excel/CRM; compounding bid lists in 60 days
9:30 ROI mindset: one job pays for the tool; invest in your pipeline
10:00 Next step: learn to negotiate and close what you bid
