We know this industry

New business in construction runs on relationships, not directories

Bid platforms and referrals both matter, and both have a real limitation. Here is what we build around for every construction client.

Bid platforms put every job on price

PlanHub, BuildingConnected and public RFPs put your bid next to everyone else who saw the same listing, comparing on lowest number, not track record.

Feast and famine project cycles

One quarter your crews are fully booked, the next you are bidding jobs below margin just to keep people working.

Referrals are real but slow

A GC or developer who liked your last job will call again eventually. You cannot forecast growth off a relationship that moves at its own pace.

Estimators bid, they do not prospect

Your team is built to price and win published bids, not proactively build relationships with developers before a project exists.

No one owns new business full time

A principal or ops lead handles business development between actual project work, so outreach happens in bursts, then stops.

The best relationships happen before the bid

By the time a project is formally out to bid, the developer or owner may already have a contractor in mind from an earlier conversation.

What you get

A complete outbound engine, run for you

You do one workshop. We build, run and optimise everything else.

ICP Workshop

One session to define your ideal project by type, contract size and buyer role. No generic targeting.

Infrastructure, Built and Warmed

Email domains and LinkedIn accounts set up and warmed properly before a single message sends. You never touch a tool.

Relationship-Led, AI-Personalised Copy

Every message references a specific project trigger and starts a relationship, never a generic capability pitch.

Email and LinkedIn, Run for You

Multi-channel outreach managed end to end to developers, owners, GCs and architects. We send it, track it, adjust it.

Reply Handling and Qualification

Every reply is read, qualified for real project fit and budget, and moved forward. Only genuine opportunities reach your calendar.

DeliHub CRM Included

A fully set up CRM instance so every conversation, project stage and meeting is tracked in one place, included in every plan.

Why timing matters

Reactive bidding puts you at a structural disadvantage

By the time an RFP or bid is public, several firms are already competing for the same number. Reaching the buyer earlier, before the project is formally out to bid, changes the conversation from price to fit.

This is illustrative, not a guarantee, every market and project type is different, but the structural logic holds across the industry.

FAQ

Questions construction companies ask before starting

We already bid through PlanHub, BuildingConnected and public RFPs. Why add outbound?
Bid platforms and public RFPs are reactive, you can only respond to what is already published, and you are competing on price against everyone else who saw the same listing. Outbound reaches a developer, owner or GC before the project is formally out to bid, when relationship and reputation matter more than being the lowest number.
Will this feel like cold calling? Our industry runs on relationships.
No. Every message references a specific, real project trigger, a permit filing, a funding close, a facilities capital plan, and is written to start a relationship conversation, not close a deal by email. It reads like a principal reaching out about a real opportunity, not a mass campaign.
Can you help us reach general contractors for subcontractor work specifically?
Yes. If your firm is a specialty subcontractor, we can build a campaign targeting GCs who have recently won contracts and are building out their subcontractor bench for that project.
What is actually included in the monthly plan?
Every plan includes ICP research, email and LinkedIn infrastructure fully set up and warmed on your behalf, relationship-led AI-personalised copywriting, multi-channel outreach, reply handling and qualification, meetings booked directly to your calendar, and a DeliHub CRM instance.
Can you target specific project types, like healthcare, education or multifamily?
Yes. The ICP workshop defines your target by project type and typical contract size, so outreach goes to developers, owners and architects actively involved in the specific building types your firm specialises in.
How quickly will we see meetings on the calendar?
Infrastructure setup and warm-up typically takes the first two to three weeks. Most clients see their first qualified meetings by the start of month 2. Construction sales cycles run longer than most industries, so early meetings are about pipeline building, not instant contracts.
Do we need to hire a business development person?
No. Deligatr runs the entire operation. You complete a single ICP workshop at the start, then show up to booked meetings. We handle infrastructure, copy, sending and qualification.
Is there a long-term contract?
No long-term contract on monthly billing, cancel any time. Quarterly billing is available for a 20 percent discount if you want to lock in a lower rate.
