How to Filter Construction Projects by Location and Status on ConstructConnect

You can narrow the project list on projects.constructconnect.com using two filter groups that work together: a location filter (state and county) and a status filter (active projects vs. bidding soon, with bidding soon split into the next 7 or 30 days). Market type and construction category filters are also available if you want to narrow further. The filters are applied from the project search page, and the results update to show matching projects with their scope, location, and status.

Location filters: state and county

The location filter is a two-level drill-down:

1. State — select the state you want to search in.
2. County — after choosing a state, narrow to one or more counties.

The page notes that if you enter a location that isn't valid, you'll see "No results. Please enter a valid location." So the practical sequence is: pick a state first, then pick counties within it, rather than typing a free-form location and hoping it resolves.

If you want statewide coverage, leave the county selection empty and apply only the state. If you want a single metro area, select the specific counties that make up that area.

Status filters: active vs. bidding soon

Projects are grouped into two status buckets on the page:

The "Updated last 30 days" figure under Active Projects is useful if you care about freshness — it tells you how many active projects had recent activity, which matters when you're deciding whether a lead is still worth pursuing.

For Bidding Soon, the 7-day view is the tighter, more urgent list; the 30-day view gives you more lead time to prepare a bid. Choose based on how much preparation your bid needs — a 7-day window is only realistic if you already have the plans and relationships in place.

Combining location and status

The filters are designed to stack. A typical workflow:

1. Select your state (and counties, if you want to narrow).
2. Choose Active Projects, Bidding Soon, or both.
3. If you chose Bidding Soon, pick the next 7 days or next 30 days.
4. Apply the filters and review the results, which show project scope, location, and status.

This combination is what turns a national project list into a workable pipeline — for example, "active projects in my state" or "projects bidding in the next 7 days in the counties I serve."

Additional filters: market type and construction category

Beyond location and status, the page offers two more filter dimensions:

• Market type — a long list of project categories, including Amusement and Recreation, Arenas/Stadiums, Bridges/Tunnels, Data Centers, Educational, Hotel/Motel, Industrial, Medical, Multi-Residential, Office, Retail, Roads/Highways, Solar Power Generation, Warehouse/Distribution, Water/Sewer, and many more.
• Construction category — trade/scope categories such as Concrete, Earthwork, Electrical, Exterior Improvements, Fire Suppression, HVAC, Masonry, Metals, Plumbing, Roofing-related categories (Thermal and Moisture Protection), Utilities, and others.

Both use a multi-select pattern: you select items, the count of selected items is shown (for example, "0 Selected"), and you apply or cancel. This lets you filter to the trades you actually bid, rather than scanning every project.

Practical notes and common snags

• Invalid location input produces a "No results" message rather than a partial match, so use the state/county selectors instead of free text.
• Rate limiting — the page can return "Too many requests. Close to refresh the page." If that happens, wait and refresh rather than repeatedly re-applying filters.
• Preview before committing — the page offers a "Preview Active Commercial Construction Projects" option to view project scope, location, and status before going further.
• Business type — the page asks "What is your business type?", which suggests the experience may be tailored by role (for example, general contractor vs. subcontractor vs. supplier). Answering it may change which projects or categories are surfaced to you.

What you need to access it

The page references bidding on projects and viewing plans, specs, bidder lists, and project details. Pricing and subscription links are present on the site, so full project details and bidding features may require a paid plan — the free view appears to be the filtered project list and previews. Check the pricing page for what your account tier includes before relying on the filters for a full bid workflow.
