Quick answer
Deligatr generates leads for construction companies by running a fully managed outbound engine across email and LinkedIn, reaching developers, property owners, general contractors and architects directly, before projects are formally out to bid. We define your ideal project profile, build and warm the sending infrastructure, write relationship-led messaging, handle every reply, and book qualified meetings directly to your calendar. Plans start at $2,500 per month with no long-term contract.
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.
Who we target
Five buyer types, one managed pipeline
Land acquisition, permit filing, funding close
Capital expenditure budget cycle, deferred maintenance
New contract award, need for specialty trades
New project needing a build partner
Capital improvement plan announcements
Illustrative distribution, adjusted per firm during the ICP workshop based on your specialism.
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.
Relationship built before bid vs. reactive bidding only
Reactive bidding only
Relationship built first
Illustrative win-rate concept, not measured client data.

Why construction firms trust us with this
Built to be reviewed, not just believed
Full Message Visibility
Every template is visible in DeliHub before and after it sends. Nothing goes out that your firm has not seen.
Relationship-Matched by Design
We ask for your best relevant past projects during onboarding and build messaging around real, specific work.
Cancel Anytime, No Lock-In
No long-term contract on monthly billing. If it is not producing qualified conversations, you are not stuck paying for it.
Built by People Who Sell for a Living
Deligatr's own team runs this exact playbook to generate its own client pipeline. We are not guessing at what works.
