Intelligence built in.Intelligence for construction results.
You're a contractor.
Not a business development team.
You're great at the work — that's why you have a business. But growing that business means an entirely different kind of work: brand building, bid lists, GC outreach, proposals, follow-up, closing. That work doesn't happen in the field. It happens at a desk, on a phone, in front of a screen.
And it takes time you don't have, talent that's expensive to find, and experience most contractors weren't trained for.
You build. We grow.
One business. Two lanes. You stay the contractor your GCs know — we run everything that happens off the job site.

We handle — behind the scenes
- ✓Sourcing the right projects in your market

- ✓Writing accurate, brand-specific proposals
- ✓Building GC relationships and following up on every bid
- ✓Closing the work — under your brand

Four steps. Zero disruption.
We assess where you are.
We map your GCs, pricing, past bids, and team. No software to learn. We get smart on your business before we touch a thing.
We package you to GC-grade.
Brand, templates, language, systems — we bring your business up to the bar large GCs expect. Everything stays your company. We just make sure it shows up the way the room expects.
We connect you to the GCs that matter.
We introduce you to GCs across our network, represent you in the first conversations, and get you onto their bid lists. By the time the first RFP arrives, they already know who you are.
We bid, close, and run the back end.
Every RFP gets a response within 48 hours, under your brand. Our team manages the deal through close. After signing, we handle lien notices, billing, and paperwork. You show up and build.
Four steps. One partner. Your name on everything.
Jobs we won. For our partners.
We know how each one prices, how each one bids, and how each one chooses.

Built by people who lived the problem.
Polytrades was started by trade contractors who spent years inside the bid room — losing jobs they should have won, watching follow-ups slip, hiring estimators they couldn't keep.
We partnered with estimators from the largest commercial GCs in the country and AI technologists who turn messy real-world data into reliable systems.
One team. Three disciplines. Every output runs through all of them.
How does Polytrades work?
Polytrades is the growth partner behind your business. We source the right commercial projects in your market, write accurate brand-specific proposals, follow up with the GC on every bid, and close the work — all under your brand. You stay the contractor. We run everything that happens off the job site.
Do my clients know I'm working with Polytrades?
No. Every proposal, every email, every follow-up goes out under your company's name, from your domain, on your templates. When our team is on a call with a GC, they're representing your business. The GC never knows Polytrades exists. We're invisible infrastructure — your name is on everything.
Can AI really estimate construction work accurately?
Yes — but the AI is only half of it. We use the latest commercial AI to run takeoffs, decompose scope, and generate brand-accurate proposals at speed. The other half is people: a team of vetted, experienced commercial TI estimators with backgrounds at major GCs, covering every trade we serve. Every estimate is checked, revised, and signed off by a senior estimator before it goes out. No proposal ever leaves the building without a human review.
How is Polytrades different from hiring an estimator?
An estimator does one part of one job — they produce takeoffs and pricing. We do the whole growth function: sourcing the opportunities, building GC relationships, writing the proposals, following up on every bid, closing the contract, and handling the back-end paperwork. One estimator costs $95K+ a year before benefits. Polytrades costs nothing until we win work for you.
How is Polytrades different from outsourced estimating services?
Outsourced estimators hand you a number and disappear. We run the entire revenue engine — finding the work, bidding it, building the relationship, working it through follow-up, closing the contract, and handling the administrative tail after the deal is signed. Estimating is one of six functions we run for you. The rest is what actually wins the work.
How is this different from bid management software?
Bid software is a tool you operate. You still do all the work — finding projects, writing proposals, following up, closing. Polytrades is the team that does the work. You don't log into anything. You don't manage a workflow. You just stay in the field and let us run the growth side.
What trades do you serve today?
Polytrades is live for electrical contractors today. The platform is built to scale across the full commercial TI trade stack — HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, low voltage, and the interior trades — and we're onboarding new trades as we grow. If you're in a trade we haven't launched yet, talk to us. We're prioritizing demand.
How fast can I expect to see results?
Most partners see their first proposals going out within the first two to three weeks of onboarding. Closed contracts depend on bid cycles and GC award timelines, which vary by project — but partners typically see their first wins within 40 to 60 days, with steady deal flow building from there.
How much does it cost?
We work on a performance model. We grow together — you earn more, we earn more. There's no software subscription, no recurring platform fees, and no charges on bids that don't win.
Depending on the state of your business when we start — your brand, your templates, your systems, your bid readiness — there may be a one-time onboarding fee to bring everything up to the standard large commercial GCs expect. We walk through that on the first call so there are no surprises.
