New York Construction Intelligence

Know what's coming before your competitor does

The Punch List is New York construction, three mornings a week. Monday: every bid closing this week, day by day. Wednesday: open bids sorted by your trade. Saturday: who won, what it went for, and what closed. Free, 6 a.m. ET, in your inbox.

What's inside

New solicitations

Every open bid worth chasing that hit the boards this week — agency, trade, due date, and where to get the documents.

Deadline alerts

Every bid closing this week, day by day, with pre-bid meetings, site visits, and closing times pulled from the notice.

Awards & results

Who won, what it went for, how many showed up. The scoreboard that tells you where your market really is.

News that matters

Capital-plan movement, policy changes, enforcement actions, and private development — the stories that affect your next bid.

Three editions a week — start, middle and finish

Monday — The Week Ahead. Every bid closing Monday through Friday, day by day, with pre-bid meetings, site visits, and document deadlines — so you start the week already knowing it.

Wednesday — Bids by Trade. Every open bid on the board sorted by trade instead of by date, so you can go straight to your own work and see what is coming up behind this week.

Saturday — The Week in Review. Every result from the past five days in one place: who won, what it went for, how many bid, and how tight the spreads were.
