Stop chasing tenders. Build the pipeline before tenders drop.
Developers, architects and projects piped into your HubSpot months before RFTs go out. Your estimators bid fewer no-hopers. Your BD team gets on the phone while competitors are still watching tender boards.
The work you want to win is decided before the tender hits the boards.
By the time an RFT lands, the developer has already shortlisted builders they trust. If you're not on that list, you're making up numbers. GrowthNGen gives your pre-construction team visibility at DA and Design Development — the months where shortlists actually get built.
Developer intel, not just projects
Every active developer in your market — what they're building, who they've used before, where they're going next. Track the person, not just the job.
Architects linked to every project
The practices driving design in your region, and every project they're on. Meet them while drawings are still in motion.
Win-loss signal built in
When a project is awarded to a competitor, you see it. Close the loop on estimating effort and read the market by type, value and region.
Built for pre-construction teams, not spreadsheet managers
Your estimators and BD staff should be reading drawings and having conversations — not scraping tender boards into Excel.
Pre-tender visibility
Projects show up at DA and Design Development. You qualify in or out before investing estimating hours.
Relationship graph
Developer, architect, engineer, QS — linked across every project they touch. See the full network, not just the current opportunity.
Only the work you actually pursue
Commercial only. Over $15M. South-East QLD. Educational / healthcare / mixed-use. Filter in once; only fitting work flows through.
Estimating capacity back
Fewer tenders quoted on reflex. Higher hit rate per bid. Your estimating team stops running at 110% on jobs you were never going to win.
“GrowthNGen has become our unfair advantage. It's removed the bottleneck of manual data work. We can now search at the organisational level and surface the right opportunities effortlessly into our CRM, and at scale. The results have been immediate. A stronger pipeline, higher conversions, and project wins that have already paid for years of use.”

Questions from commercial builder teams
The things pre-construction and commercial directors ask us before getting started.
We already subscribe to Cordell Connect. Why would we need this?
Cordell is a database. GrowthNGen is a pipeline. Right now your BD or estimating staff log in, search, export, and copy-paste into HubSpot — hours every week. GrowthNGen pushes matching projects into your CRM automatically, with architects, developers and engineers already linked as contacts. Your team opens HubSpot and the board is live.
We don't want every project — we only bid on certain types and sizes.
That's the point. Search profiles filter by project value, stage, type, region and stakeholder role. If you build commercial mixed-use in Sydney and Brisbane over $20M, that's what lands in HubSpot. Everything else stays out of the way.
How does this help our pre-construction team specifically?
Three things. First, visibility at DA and Design Development — months before the RFT. Second, every project comes with the developer, architect, engineer and QS already linked, so estimators can run their pre-tender reads without hunting. Third, when a project changes stage or gets let, the HubSpot record updates automatically, so no-one's checking in manually.
Can it handle projects at different stages?
Yes. Every project has a stage attached (concept, DA, design development, pre-tender, tender, contract let, construction). Your pipeline stages map to these, so a dev project at DA sits in "Early Engagement", a project at RFT sits in "Active Tender", and contract-let updates auto-flag. Different workflows for different stages.
We have BD in three states. Does this work across a national team?
One search profile, one HubSpot, every BD rep sees their patch. National view for management. Regional deals flow to the right owner. If your team has been stuck on six regional spreadsheets, that goes away.
How long does implementation take?
Most commercial builder teams are live in 1–2 weeks. We map into your existing HubSpot pipeline stages, deal properties and contact structure. Onboarding includes setting up search profiles and configuring the sync — usually done in a couple of working sessions.
