The problem

Your Next Job Could Be Buried in a 90-Page Meeting Packet.

Early word of local work rarely sits in one place. It shows up in a line item in a capital improvement plan, a Planning Board agenda, a paragraph of meeting minutes, or a procurement portal posting that's gone in a few weeks.

Every town posts it differently. Checking them all takes hours you'd rather spend estimating and bidding. Opportunity Radar does the reading and points you to the source.

From Finding the Opportunity to Pursuing the Work.

OPPORTUNITY RADAR

Find potential work worth investigating.

An ongoing project intelligence service designed to help contractors monitor:

  • Relevant local projects and public bids

  • Project locations and stages

  • New developments and material updates

  • Official public source documents

PURSUIT PACK

Get the deeper research before committing your time.

Project-specific research that may include:

  • Bid/no-bid checklist

  • Scope and specification highlights

  • Organized links to solicitation documents and addenda

  • Key qualification and bidding requirements

  • Historical competitor intelligence, where available

  • A prioritized action plan and outstanding questions

Pursuit Packs are deeper, project-specific deliverables. They are not automatically included, without limit, in the ongoing Opportunity Radar service.

The full Pursuit Pack is a premium deliverable; this section shows a summary excerpt only. Opportunity Radar organizes public research to support your own decisions. It does not prepare bids, verify your company's qualifications, or guarantee contract awards.

Let Us Find the Opportunities. You Focus on Winning the Work.

Tell us your trade and service area. We'll show you an existing sample of our research and discuss how Opportunity Radar could help you identify potential work.

Free sample. No credit card. No obligation.

If we don't have coverage for your exact territory yet, the sample may come from a comparable trade or project. Samples are not a personalized report, and we can't promise delivery time or that bids are currently open. After you submit, we'll review your request and email you at the address you provide.

Like what you see? Opportunity Radar is being developed as an ongoing local project intelligence service, with trade-specific updates and optional deeper project research.

Opportunity Radar reports describe potential opportunities based on public information. They are not guaranteed projects or contracts, and early-stage items may never be funded, approved, or bid.
