Unlike many other industries in the United States, the demand for commercial and residential contractors and workers has continually grown 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 in New York that it ranks within the top 15 states in the nation for construction demand today. The good news is that many general contractors are frantically searching for subcontractors and material suppliers to keep their projects on schedule and meet completion deadlines, so there’s no shortage of active and upcoming projects ready for you and your crew. You can learn more about current New York construction projects here.
PlanHub allows you to see the current projects available for bid throughout New York. You can search by a project type such as new construction or remodel. Or you can search for construction projects by location such as Newburgh or Rochester. In a few clicks, you can find a variety of different contracts all over the state. From a large commercial construction project to simple road work projects, you can easily find any project you’d like in every borough and all over the entire state.

New York requires a state contractor license for asbestos abatement and crane operators only. General and subcontractor licensing occurs at the city or county government level, so you’ll need to do some Googling to find the appropriate local licensing office. In addition, there may be specific bond and insurance requirements, so be sure to ask about those too.
If you’re considering bidding on projects in New York, you will want to visit the New York State Worker Safety website. Understanding the state’s latest worker safety requirements will be helpful as you prepare your bids for New York construction projects.
Subcontractors constantly struggle to find and connect with reputable and busy general contractors. PlanHub has reviewed the most recent construction industry data to determine New York’s most prominent and active general contractors, and here are their website links.
Depending on the project’s size and scope, new drawings can take a few weeks to several months to complete. Plans for new construction projects go out to bid once the architect has finalized the plans with the project manager or owner. 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 four 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, GCs submit their bids to the owner, while subs 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 New York provides training, support, and business resources to help contractors, both general and subs, build a better and safer environment for construction workers and for the future of New York.
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.
