Since 2012, the demand for residential and commercial contractors has steadily increased, creating the biggest backlog of construction projects in years. Many Kentucky 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 in Kentucky ready for your crews or waiting for your bid. You can learn more about current Kentucky construction projects here.
PlanHub allows you to see the current projects available for bid throughout Kentucky. You can search by a specific location such as Louisville in central Kentucky or Owensboro to check out road work projects and tenant improvement projects. You can quickly find renovation or infrastructure projects in and around Lexington-Fayette. With a few mouse clicks, you can find multi-family or hospital projects in cities in western Kentucky like Bowling Green, too. You can learn more about PlanHub’s Kentucky subcontractor jobs here.
Kentucky requires all HVAC, electrical, and plumbing contractors to hold a current Kentucky contractor’s license issued by the Contractors State License Board. Generals, subs, and specialty contractors get licensed at the city or county level. In addition, there may be specific bond and insurance requirements listed that vary from one area to the next.
If you’re considering bidding on construction projects in Kentucky, you will want to visit the Kentucky Worker Safety website. Understanding the state’s latest worker safety requirements will be helpful as you prepare your bids for Kentucky 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 Kentucky’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 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 Kentucky AGC chapter 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.
