COMMERCIAL TRADES
HEAT: 84/100 Signals Active

You run the best trade shop in your market. You're still bidding against firms who saw the job six months ago.

Commercial trade contractors — roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC — doing $5M+ are losing the multi-site retail rollouts, hospital expansions, and warehouse builds that should be theirs. The permits, REIT capex calls, healthcare CON filings, and ground-lease records that predict the work are public the day they hit. By the time procurement opens, the owner already has a shortlist. We surface those filings the moment they post and put your firm in front of the facility owner during the window when a cold intro still lands — before the job is spoken for.

Signals We're Monitoring
  • Commercial building permits (MEP-tagged, large square footage)
  • Bid boards: BidPrime, ConstructConnect, Procore Network
  • REIT capex announcements (Prologis, Public Storage, hospital systems)
  • Healthcare Certificate of Need filings + hospital expansion permits
  • Retail rollout site selection + ground-lease filings
  • CourtListener liens — contractor distress + displacement opportunity

For established trade contractors with multiple crews and the bonding to take on multi-site work — not one-truck shops chasing residential. 30-min call. We bring the project map and decision-maker names. Keep them whether we work together or not.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for the commercial trade operators who should be winning the multi-site work.

Established firms with multiple crews, the bonding to scale, and the operations to run a national retail rollout — not single-truck shops grinding on bid boards.

$5M – $15M revenue
Regional Trade Operators

You're a strong local in roofing, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC. You win on relationships when you're in early — you lose on price when you're not. Signal puts you in early.

$15M – $50M revenue
Multi-Market Trade Contractors

You bid across 3+ metros, GC relationships in each, but new buyer acquisition is slow. We surface 30+ qualified pre-bid projects monthly so your BD team isn't reactive.

$50M+ revenue
Regional Specialty Primes

You compete with the nationals (Comfort Systems, EMCOR, etc.) on the high-value commercial accounts. Signal-driven capture is how you outwork them in your geography.
