Any opinions on or favorite places to find projects, both commercial and larger residential? I've just started using Blue Book and PlanHub to find commercial work. I like PlanHub pretty well, but it's too early to tell if I've won anything from it and it wants a monthly fee after my trail period ends. Are there any others I should be looking at? I'm not into Angie's List, we've tried that.
Also, these sites are GCs throwing their projects out there for anyone to bid on, so all the bids are sent in "cold". I try to warm them up a little by contacting the GC prior to submitting my bids but there is no relationship behind it. Anyone having luck in doing this or am I wasting my time? Most of the GCs are out of state and I don't know if I'd ever end up bidding for them again.
