About Us
The People Behind the Data
Construct-A-Lead was built on a conviction the rest of our industry forgot: that the people who use construction data deserve to trust it. Every project in our database is researched, called, and confirmed by a real human being — because your pipeline is too important for anything less.
Founded on a Simple Idea
When co-owners Sharon and Bill launched Construct-A-Lead from Lincolnshire, Illinois, the commercial construction industry had a data problem. Lead services were recycling the same publicly available filings, passing scraped records through automated pipelines, and calling it “intelligence.” Contractors and suppliers were paying premium prices for stale information and dead-end contacts.
The founders saw the gap — and refused to fill it with another algorithm. They built a company around a straightforward premise: hire skilled researchers, train them on the construction industry, and verify every single project before it reaches a subscriber’s screen. No shortcuts. No automation masquerading as accuracy. Just disciplined, human-driven research at scale.
That idea turned out to be exactly what the market was missing. Today, Construct-A-Lead delivers thousands of verified commercial construction projects every month to subscribers across the United States and Canada — and the process that makes it possible hasn’t changed.

A Team That Picks Up the Phone
In an era of web scraping, AI-generated content, and automated data aggregation, Construct-A-Lead takes a decidedly human approach. Our research team identifies commercial construction projects through proprietary sourcing channels, then picks up the phone and calls — architects, owners, general contractors, construction managers — to confirm every detail firsthand.
Project scope. Estimated value. Timeline. Building materials. Decision-maker contacts with direct phone numbers and verified email addresses. Nothing gets published until a real person has confirmed it.
While our competitors invest in faster bots and bigger scraping engines, we invest in better people. The result is a database our subscribers actually trust — because every record in it was touched by a trained researcher who asked the right questions and got real answers.
