How the PWR intelligence layer is built.
Public Work Radar is not a raw scraped-data dump or another bid board. The useful product is the filter: source-backed signals checked on a schedule, converted into opportunity intelligence, then tagged by trade, geography, buyer type, timing, fit, and likely next action.
1. Source Watch
We monitor lawful source-backed signals: public bids, procurement, planholders, prequalification lists, agency pages, project notices, permits, development movement, facilities needs, utility work, owner activity, and customer demand signals where available.
2. Trade and scope fit
Signals are tagged by likely trade fit: electrical, plumbing, HVAC/mechanical, GC, framing, roofing, low-voltage, fire protection, facility maintenance, civil, concrete, ADA, asphalt, utilities, sitework, excavation, demolition, landscaping, and related scopes.
3. Action Filter
The brief focuses on what a customer can do next: verify source documents, identify buyers or qualified vendors, check requirements, contact the right party, pursue, decline, qualify, or watch.
What customers should verify
- Official documents, addenda, scopes, and requirements.
- Timing, meetings, submission rules, customer requirements, and buyer contacts.
- Bonding, insurance, prequalification, licensing, permits, and compliance constraints.
- Quantities, site conditions, drawings, specifications, budget fit, and capacity fit.
Why this can be worth paying for
The job is not to replace estimating judgment, procurement judgment, or sales judgment. The job is to reduce missed windows, late quote requests, irrelevant browsing, stale project lists, and random vendor discovery. Avoiding one missed opportunity—or starting one qualified conversation earlier—may justify the subscription.
