Construction sales leads made easy
Tracking and sourcing in one place
With Barbour ABI, subcontractors can find new work and visualise competitor activity on one easy to use platform.
From finding new prospects, viewing planning applications sourced from local authorities, discovering ideal projects, exporting data, and more our Construction Project Leads Platform saves your team time and hassle.
Your team can work together on the platform by sharing, tagging, and adding notes to projects so you can always have the most up to date pipeline under one log-in.
The traditional method
Subcontractors traditionally rely on word-of-mouth, repeat work, work that walks in the door, sourcing on LinkedIn and viewing applications on local council sites.
This method will only get your business so far and with constant changes in the industry, you could be too late to the game.
What if we said you could do what works for you with the best data on the market to streamline your efforts and get the latest updates before anywhere else? Use our construction project data to fact check project details the contractor might not have told you. Build league tables instead of sorting through local authority sites. Check through material codes in one click of a button.
Ditch the laborious methods for the smartest sourcing in the industry.
