If there is specific information you would like added to your reports please don't hesitate to contact us. We will present your request to our development team who will determine if the information can be included in your reports.

Project Research "Tips & Guides"

One area we have always assisted our clients with is researching their own project data. The first concern with project research is how much will this information cost my business? What are your available business resources for collecting this information? How much time is required? Which business sector do you plan on researching, public or private, and what areas do you plan to focus on? Does your business and abundant budget allow for term contracts and exorbitant fees?

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the public sector the majority of public projects and their details can be obtained for free. Free is a relative term because someone has to spend a small amount of time compiling project information. There is also a research variant between the public and private sectors when collecting project details. We will list a few points to consider before making a decision on which sector to research. Public projects are easier to find information about and to stay current on project needs and interests. Public projects usually have the most money and are more likely to award large contracts. Public projects are more likely to pay all project costs, direct and indirect. The public project application processes and deadlines are public information. You can already see advantages for researching the public sector.

Third party listing website companies research the public sector because the project information is provided "free". Once the listing companies collect the sectors "free or comped" project data they sell "term contracts" for "peddling" the same FREE "recycled" project data to related trade contractors. Then they charge the contractors "premium fees" monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually (hence term contract) and essentially make 100% profit on the sale of the "free recycled" data. How many companies do you know that would commit to a "term contract" and be charged "premium fees" for "free recycled" project information? Why would anyone "pay exorbitant fees" for their "industry comped" information? Your business already has phones, internet access and the resources for researching the projects and details "you want". We explain how to collect project data using a "very simple process" in the next paragraph. Don't settle for listing websites limited data and wonder whether or not the information is current or out-of-date. If you are planning to bid on projects it is important to have all potential projects and their most current information for your evaluation. When researching a project and you discover the listing website's information is not up-to-date or they do not list a potential project does the listing company return your contract fees? The consequences of missing out on any size project is detrimental to your company's "bottom line". For precise project information your company's resources are the best available option for obtaining that data. Plus the information is free for industry related companies. Establishing an in-house research system is simple and it's even easier and reassuring to know "your selected" project information is "up-to-date".

Landfill site "LISTINGS" can be searched for on the internet by state, county, city, etc., (click on links for search examples e.g. 1 / e.g. 2 / e.g. 3). When you have your selected sites "contact information" call and request the site's project status. If the site has upcoming projects or a request for proposal (RFP) they will provide you with most of the details listed above (see Project Report Details) because the proprietors want contractors to bid on their projects. There are also numerous landfills that list their project details on their internet website. You can research "the projects you want" either by phone or the company's website in roughly "5 minutes". Then store your researched project information in your company's office productivity software of choice (word, excel, access, etc). This allows you to manage and review the data at anytime in accordance with your company's objectives. There's absolutely "no reason" to be "bound by" third party "term contracts", "exorbitant fees" and being obligated to "pay" for projects and details you don't care about or that are out-of-date! Also there are landfills that "won't provide" their project and bid details to third party listing companies because the "information" is neither intended to be "SOLD" nor for "PROFIT". Remember the information is "free". Listing websites are "eliminated from those projects and their details" and cannot include them in their listing data. Thus "preventing the contractors awareness and opportunity" to bid on those projects. Unfortunately the contractors are unaware of the impact those missing projects have on their company's "bottom line". Always evaluate your industry's "professional ethics" and third party "principles". Implementing a business identification protocol could resolve the issues with providing project and bid details to inappropriate companies. The information is "primarily intended" for contractors who are evaluating whether or not to bid on site projects. Outside of bid documents, project details are generally free to contractors who "should not have to pay" for public sector project information. It doesn't get any simpler than that. The private sector has different areas of concern and we will go into those details at another time.

We hope these tips help you in determining how to acquire project data. Please revisit our site for additional information regarding the public and private sectors of project data research.
