Win More Public Building Work — Industry Knowledge for Specialty Contractors

Public building data (Denver bid tabs, SAM.gov, Colorado BIDS, TX SBEDS) delivers GC pricing signals, pipeline, and price calibration.

The same AI-powered bid intelligence transforming Texas road construction, now built for specialty contractors competing on publicly funded building projects in Texas and Colorado.

The problem

Every public building bid you didn’t win is a public record. When a publicly funded project — schools, government buildings, municipal facilities, federal construction — goes to bid, the results become public: every GC who submitted, what they priced, who won and by how much. That data exists for thousands of projects across Texas and Colorado, published across SAM.gov, state agency portals, school district procurement systems, and city bid archives. Until now, nobody assembled it into something you can actually use.

What Taskwell does

Taskwell Industry Knowledge for Public Building Construction handles the continuous collection, processing, and delivery of public building bid intelligence through a conversational AI your estimating team can query in plain English — no subscription to Dodge or ConstructConnect required.

The underlying record is deep and specific. The City of Denver publishes detailed bid tabulations for building construction back to 2016. The federal SAM.gov database records every construction contract award above $10,000, including contractor, award amount, agency, and project type. Colorado’s statewide BIDS system tracks post-award notices across hundreds of agencies. Texas school districts and state agencies post solicitation results through the Electronic State Business Daily (SBEDS). Taskwell collects it, normalizes it across sources, and delivers it through a single conversational interface.

How it works

The product rests on three pillars:

  • GC Bid History & Pricing Signals — see what GCs have been pricing on public building projects similar to yours across Texas and Colorado, and how your trade’s competitive landscape has shifted over time.
  • Project Pipeline Visibility — track upcoming publicly funded projects before they go to bid: state agency solicitations, school district capital programs, municipal facilities, and federally funded construction.
  • Competitive Field Awareness — surface which specialty contractors are active in your market, which GCs they’re paired with, and where you have clear field or face stiff competition.

“What have GCs been pricing on public school construction in the Denver metro over the last two years?” · “Show me Colorado school district capital projects over $5M expected to let this quarter.”

What this unlocks

Combined in a single interface that also knows your own bid history, the compound questions become the real value:

  • Win Rate Analysis — see your win rate by GC, project type, geography, and scope, and sharpen your pursuit strategy on the next letting.
  • Price Calibration — pressure-test your estimates against real market pricing across hundreds of public projects before you submit.
  • GC Relationship Intelligence — identify which GCs consistently win the public work you want and prioritize relationship-building there.

What you get

  • Smarter pursuit decisions — know which upcoming public projects are worth pricing before the invitation arrives
  • Better price calibration on your trade across hundreds of public projects
  • Higher win rates by understanding your competitive field before you commit to a number
  • Stronger GC relationships focused on the firms winning the work you want
  • No new data subscription required — Taskwell collects the public record; you get the intelligence
  • The same proven model as Texas road construction, applied to public building work in Texas and Colorado

There is no Dodge subscription to buy, no ConstructConnect license to manage. The data is public record — we do the work of turning it into a meaningful edge on the bid board. The data is public. Now it’s working for you.
