Unlike many other industries, the demand for commercial and residential contractors and workers has continually grown in the United States since 2012. General contractors are reporting their biggest backlog of work in years, thanks to increased consumer demand, coupled with the unprecedented low interest rates. In fact, there are so many active and upcoming construction projects that Maryland ranks within the top 15 states in the nation for construction demand today. The good news is that many general contractors are busy searching for subcontractors and material suppliers to keep their projects on schedule and meet completion deadlines. You can learn more about current Maryland construction projects here.
PlanHub allows you to see the current projects available for bid throughout Maryland. You can search by a project type such as roadway or remodel projects. Or you can search for a construction contract by location by starting specific in a large city such as Baltimore or expand your horizons by searching widely across counties like Cecil county. Additionally, you can also find a multi-family or tenant improvement construction project if you are looking for quick work. In just a few clicks you can find any type of contract that fits your wants and needs all over the state, even in smaller counties like Howard county.

Maryland does not have a statewide licensing process for contractors. Local jurisdictions such as the Montgomery county department of permitting services city or county offices issue licenses for any sub or general contractor. For any licenses or legal advice in the state of Maryland you’ll need to check in with city hall or the county offices for your specific area. In addition, there may be specific bond and insurance requirements which can change from one jurisdiction to another.
If you’re considering bidding on projects in Maryland, you will want to visit the Maryland Worker Safety website. Understanding the state’s latest worker safety requirements will be helpful as you prepare your bids for Maryland construction projects.
We understand that if you are a subcontractor, it’s a constant struggle to find and connect with reputable and busy general contractors. PlanHub has reviewed the most recent construction industry data to determine Maryland’s most prominent and active general contractors, and here are their website links.
The construction industry doesn’t have a designated schedule for posting new projects. Plans for new and remodel construction projects go out to bid once the architect has finalized the plans with the project owner. Depending on the project’s size and scope, new drawings can take a few weeks to several months to complete. While we can’t speak for other plan room services, once PlanHub receives a new construction project, the plans, specs, and bidders list are available online within hours.
Access the PlanHub plan room to pick and choose the projects that interest you and start your takeoff process. Once you’re properly licensed with the city or county, you can begin submitting your bid to the general contractors bidding on the project. Certain publicly funded projects may contain specific bidding requirements or forms, typically included with the plans and specs.
The AGC of Maryland provides training, support, and business resources to help contractors large and small provide a better worker experience and create the best construction environment possible for the future of Maryland.
Some similarities from one state to the next are typical since most state building codes provide a baseline of occupant safety and comfort. However, every state creates its building code to address localized environmental issues such as hurricanes, tornadoes, landslides, flooding, and even earthquakes.
