One pursuit through the win
Keep the source, follow-up, and Bid together
Most bid pipelines begin after somebody invites you.
By then, the same request may already be in every competitor’s inbox. Contractors spend hours checking permit portals, driving past job sites, searching for builder contacts, and copying the same information into a CRM and estimating spreadsheet.
onBuilds connects the public signal to the pursuit. See the work, research the company, save the Opportunity, create the Bid, and keep the follow-up attached to the same record.
Permit portals are fragmented by jurisdiction.
The project address and builder relationship live in different spreadsheets.
Contact research gets repeated for every property.
Bid deadlines and follow-ups disappear into inboxes.
Winning the work creates another disconnected folder with no sales history.
Find it. Reach them.
Bid it. Track it.
Find active work
Review new construction permits, builder activity, and relevant lot signals across supported Arizona jurisdictions. Filter the data the source provides and save the records worth pursuing.
Identify the decision-maker
Follow the Permit to its applicant, contractor, owner, or related company. Use contact lookup where available, add known information manually, and choose who you want to pursue.
Save one linked pursuit
Create the Lead and Opportunity together. The company, contact, address, Permit, outreach, tasks, and notes stay connected for the whole team.
Build or import the Bid
Use your price book and assemblies, enter a simple estimate, or import the Excel or CSV workbook you already trust. Track it from draft to submitted, won, or lost.
Keep the win organized
A won Opportunity becomes a lightweight Job with its Bid, customer, files, activity, dates, photos, and tasks. Use optional planning only when it helps.
Start with what changed in your market.
Search recent permit and lot activity, save the builders and areas that matter, and turn a public record into a connected Opportunity without rebuilding the research somewhere else.

Keep your spreadsheet. Lose the disconnected process.
Start with a simple amount, build a detailed estimate in onBuilds, or import the workbook your estimator already uses. The source file stays attached and the Bid stays connected to the Opportunity and builder.

Track the work without rebuilding your business in another app.
When the Opportunity is won, keep the builder, address, winning Bid, value, tasks, activity, photos, and files together. Upload documents or connect an existing folder. Planning is optional.
onBuilds is not trying to replace your accounting system, payroll, crew dispatch, or full field-management stack at launch.
One pursuit history the company keeps.
Builders, contacts, Opportunities, Bids, Jobs, tasks, and activity are shared inside the organization. Assignment shows who owns the next action; it does not hide the rest of the customer history from coworkers who have access to the page.

Arizona first. Built to expand.
onBuilds adds public-data sources jurisdiction by jurisdiction so each one can be tested, monitored, and connected to the same pursuit workflow. Coverage varies by record type and source.
| Jurisdiction | Record type | Status | Refresh cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maricopa County | Permit records | Available | Source-dependent |
| Yavapai County | Permit records | Available | Source-dependent |
| Coconino County | Permit records | Available | Source-dependent |
| Mohave County | Permit records | Available | Source-dependent |
Coverage and freshness depend on each public source. Review the source details in the product before acting on a record; a permit does not guarantee that work is available or appropriate for your trade.
