AI enriches every project

AI enriches every project

Each project is parsed, classified by trade type, and valued from public permits, tenders, and filings. Deeper intelligence layers ship as the product hardens.

Delivered every week

Delivered every week

You get one email focused on jobs that match your province and trade: stage, geography, estimated value, and scope in plain language. Reply anytime with what would make it indispensable.

Sample digest

Real projects.
Plain English.
Once a week.

No raw data dumps. Each send pulls permits, tenders, and early signals across AB and BC, trimmed to what fits your province and trade, then written like a teammate summarised the filings for you.

  • Stage, geography, and indicative value where we have it
  • Scope phrased so your estimators recognise the opportunity
  • Sourced only from what is already public

What you get this week (example excerpt)

Fictionalised layout — anonymised summaries so you see the flavour of mail, not identifiable jobs.

  • Permit issuance — Surrey, BC — light industrial shell expansion (~$14M indicative) — groundwork + tilt-up podium; mechanical rough-in bids likely in 6–8 weeks.
  • Environmental assessment bulletin — unnamed northern BC LNG-adjacent camp refresh — excavation + utilities package worth tracking for regional civil crews.
  • Federal solicitation — prairie logistics hub modernization — enclosure + electrical distribution scope (watch for pre-bid briefing next cycle).

Curated digests for your trade

AB · BC

Permits, tenders & EA filings

$149

Per month · 30-day guarantee

Five upstream verticals AB + BC filings actually move.

We emphasise subcontractors and fabricators whose pipeline depends on spotting work while permits, tenders, and EA-style signals still live mostly in scattered municipal and provincial portals.

⚙️
Mechanical & HVAC

Industrial and institutional builds surface scope across permits and EA filings long before tidy invitation lists.

Electrical

Sitework-heavy and infra-aligned jobs ping municipal open data plus procurement feeds crews already monitor.

🏗️
Concrete & forming

Foundation and podium milestones tied to issuance calendars give estimating teams runway on pours and manpower.

🌍
Civil & earthworks

Roads, sites, subdivisions, and arterial work churn through tenders and agendas — consolidated signal cuts the noise.

🔩
Steel fabrication

Long-lead fabrication and picks reward shops that clock cranes and structural packages months ahead of bidding wars.

General contractors, equipment rental fleets, and material suppliers subscribe too — pick whichever trade bucket above mirrors how your crew chases BD.

30-day money-back guarantee.
