Since 2012, the demand for residential and commercial contractors has steadily increased, creating the biggest backlog of construction projects in years. Many Connecticut general contractors are now scrambling to find enough subcontractors and suppliers to keep their projects on schedule and meet completion dates. Recent industry analysis indicates this increased consumer demand will continue for the next five years, so there’s no shortage of active and upcoming construction projects ready for your crews or waiting for your bid. You can learn more about current Connecticut construction projects here.
Whether you’re looking for major projects or repairs, PlanHub allows you to see the current projects available for bid throughout Connecticut. You can search by a specific location such as New Haven or East Hartford to check out road work projects like roadways or sidewalk improvements and or tenant improvement projects. You can quickly find renovation or infrastructure projects in and around areas like Bridgeport. With a few mouse clicks, you can find multi-family or hospital projects in highly populated cities like Stamford, too. You can learn more about PlanHub’s Connecticut subcontractor jobs here.
General contractors are not required to be licensed but Connecticut requires all subcontractors to hold a current Connecticut contractor’s license issued by the Contractors State License Board. In addition, there may be specific bond and insurance requirements listed in greater detail on the state website.
If you’re considering bidding on construction projects in Connecticut, you will want to visit the Connecticut Worker Safety website. Understanding the state’s latest worker safety requirements will be helpful as you prepare your bids for Connecticut construction projects.
Subcontractors and suppliers report that they struggle to find and connect with reputable and busy general contractors. PlanHub has reviewed the latest construction industry data to determine Connecticut’s most prominent and active general contractors, and here are their website links.
There is no schedule or regulatory process for posting new blueprints to a plan room or to start the bidding process. Plans for new construction projects go out to bid once the architect and project owner have finalized the plans. Depending on the project’s size, scope, and complexity, new drawings can take a few weeks to several months to complete. Once PlanHub receives a new construction project, the plans, specs, and bidders list are available to you online within a few hours.
Once you’re properly licensed, you can begin submitting your bid to the general contractors bidding on the proposed project, or the project owner. Log in to the PlanHub plan room to pick and choose the projects that match your trade or scope of work, and then start your usual takeoff process. Certain publicly funded projects may contain specific bidding requirements or forms, typically included with the plans and specs.
The Connecticut AGC provides training, support, and business resources to help contractors build a better construction environment for the future.
Since most state building codes provide a baseline of occupant safety and comfort, some similarities from one state to the next are to be expected. However, each state creates its building code to address unique localized environmental issues such as hurricanes, tornadoes, landslides, flooding, and even earthquakes.
