Question

How can I find construction projects to bid on?

Answer 1

Various sources can be used but the planning/permits department records can be checked to see who has been seeking permission to build.. . Get yourself known with as many Architects as possible also as well as the big project management firms. If you are looking to do sub contracting you will need to trawl the major contractors to make sure you are known to them.. . Time to get printing the promotional calendars :-)

Answer 2

Normally these have to be advertised. You need to find out which newspaper in Houston is the "paper of record," the one where bids are required to be published. It often is not a paper you have heard of. Check your local library, as they are likely to have it, or can at least tell you what it is and where to get it.

Answer 3

Just bid and if you get it, THEN you find the construction project. That's how non-fiction authors pitch books and get contracts - they sell the idea (in a short write-up), and only when they land a contract do they actually research and write.
