Demand Generation for Commercial General Contractors

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We put your offers in front of the right buyers through paid ads on Google, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok, plus targeted B2B outreach and landing pages. Then our AI SDR and AI voice agents answer every inquiry in under 60 seconds — 24/7 — qualify it against your rules, and book it onto your calendar, so you're first in line when owners and developers build their bid lists.","question":"How does Worqd help a commercial general contractor win more bid invitations and ITBs?"},{"answer":"That's exactly why lead quality and timing matter. With 94% of firms struggling to find qualified craft workers and 40% turning down projects, you can't afford to chase work you can't staff. We help you find the bottleneck first, then target the project types and buyers that fit your crews, and make sure every worthwhile inquiry gets a fast, professional response.","question":"We're already turning down projects because of labor shortages — why would we need more leads?"},{"answer":"No. Our B2B outreach is personalized, permission-aware outreach to relevant accounts — the opposite of a template blast. We also use explicit consent on every booking form, and details are only used to prepare for the call.","question":"Will your outreach spam property managers and developers?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free growth call where we find the bottleneck, then build the plan. Once launched, paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days; SEO compounds over months. From there we test what matters, drop what doesn't, and scale the winning channels.","question":"How fast can a commercial GC see results, and what does implementation look like?"},{"answer":"Traditional setups are fragmented — one vendor for ads, another for creative, nobody owning follow-up. Worqd is one retainer-style growth partner running the whole path from first click to booked call, with AI SDRs claiming a 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team. One plan, one report, no vanity metrics — and pricing scoped against the results that matter to you.","question":"How is Worqd different from hiring an in-house marketing person or a traditional construction marketing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Book a free growth call.

With the commercial construction market projected to reach $723.25 billion by 2031 at a 4.22% CAGR, demand is rising — but your ability to bid on ITBs and RFPs is limited by crew availability. Every unqualified lead that slips through while your superintendents are managing MEP coordination on-site is a project you'll never bid on, directly shrinking your addressable pipeline in office construction (35.1% market share) and fast-growing industrial/logistics sectors (5.44% CAGR)."},{"icon":"PhoneMissed","stat":"Every inquiry qualified in under 60 seconds, 24/7","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Inquiries Go Cold During Job-Site Hours and After-Hours","description":"Developers, property managers, and owners distribute bid documents and addenda during business hours — and increasingly after hours.

In a market where private spending drives 85.2% of commercial construction and owners send ITBs to multiple contractors simultaneously, first response often determines who makes the bid list.
