By the time a project is advertised, the general contractor list is often set and many subcontractor relationships are already in place. Contractors and suppliers who win consistently start tracking projects during planning and design, while they can still reach the owner, architect or GC.

1. PlanningThe owner announces the project and seeks zoning or funding approvals.
2. DesignThe architect and engineers are hired and drawings develop.
3. BiddingPlans are released and GCs and subs submit prices.
4. AwardThe contract is awarded and construction starts.
