Alberta & BC · $149/mo weekly digest
Find projects
weeks before
your competitors.
We watch public building permits and tender notices across Alberta and BC. The same records anyone can find, but scattered across dozens of government websites. Every week you get one email with construction projects that match your trade, spotted while they're still early.
Built for subcontractors and suppliers like concrete, mechanical, electrical, civil, steel, and equipment rental. Anyone who needs to spot work before it shows up on the bid boards everyone else checks. $149/mo. Cancel anytime.
In plain English
We read the public filings so you don't have to.
One weekly email. Jobs in your trade and province. You still bid and win work the normal way. You just hear about opportunities sooner, from public records most people never check.
The Process
From raw data to your inbox.
We crawl 50+ sources
Coverage today: Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, and related AB/BC portals, plus federal tenders via CanadaBuys and provincial EA registries. Updated on a two-hour crawl cadence.
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
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.

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 and tilt-up podium; mechanical rough-in bids likely in 6 to 8 weeks.
- Environmental assessment bulletin: unnamed northern BC LNG-adjacent camp refresh. Excavation and utilities package worth tracking for regional civil crews.
- Federal solicitation: prairie logistics hub modernization. Enclosure and electrical distribution scope (watch for pre-bid briefing next cycle).

Focus trades
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.
Industrial and institutional builds surface scope across permits and EA filings long before tidy invitation lists.
Sitework-heavy and infra-aligned jobs ping municipal open data plus procurement feeds crews already monitor.
Foundation and podium milestones tied to issuance calendars give estimating teams runway on pours and manpower.
Roads, sites, subdivisions, and arterial work churn through tenders and agendas, and consolidated signal cuts the noise.
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.
