The general contractors to call, and what to say.
Oxpium builds the list of general contractors in your region, finds who buys the equipment and the services, tells you when one of them breaks ground and runs the campaign.

The contractors who pour the slabs and run the jobs, in one sentence.
Describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague: a region, a headcount, a kind of project. The agent searches professional databases for size, public sources for the rest, reads each contractor's website for its project list, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list, not a page of results.

134 contractors with 20 employees or more, sorted by headcount.
A size
20 employees or more, several offices, in business for fifteen years: the agent starts from professional databases to leave out the smallest shops.
A kind of project
Healthcare, schools, industrial, multifamily, tenant improvement: the agent reads each website's project list and keeps the work you're after.
A region
A metro area, a state or a radius around a city: the agent keeps each contractor once, with its main office and the other locations it lists.
A moment
Contractors hiring a superintendent, a project manager or an estimator right now: one more criterion you add to the same sentence.
The owner, the project managers, and what they build.
At a general contractor, the owner signs the big purchases, but the project manager or the superintendent often picks the rental house, the supplier or the staffing agency for the job. The agent looks for one or the other depending on what you sell, reads the projects and equipment shown, and verifies every email.

- Verifying emails
- Looking for cell phones
128 owners found, 104 verified emails, 46 cell phones.
The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one: at a contractor with 60 people in the field, the owner still decides most things.
Project managers
Or the superintendents, the estimators or the equipment manager: the agent looks them up by title, with a verified email when there is one.
The equipment they own
Tower cranes, concrete forms, a self-perform concrete crew: the agent reads the website and notes what each contractor says it owns or does itself.
The latest project
The last project shown, its type and its city: the first line of your email, written from what the contractor chooses to show about itself.
Automations that tell you which contractor is breaking ground.
A general contractor buys when a job starts: concrete, equipment, people. Once the list is built, each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a superintendent opening, a groundbreaking, a new office. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the contractors posting a superintendent, project manager or estimator opening, with the role next to it.
Groundbreakings
Every week, the agent rereads each contractor's news page and flags the ones announcing a groundbreaking or a project start, with the city.
A new office
Every Monday, the agent rereads each contractor's locations page and flags the ones that just opened an office in a new city.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like contractors whose website now shows data center work: the agent reruns it and tells you what changed.
A campaign that calls when the site shuts down.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that tailors every follow-up. From dawn to mid-afternoon, owners and superintendents are on the job: the campaign emails early, calls before or after the site, and stops as soon as the contractor replies.
Subject Your project_city project
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Before or after the site
Calls go out Tuesday to Thursday, before 7:30 am or from 3:30 to 5:30 pm, when the project manager is back in the trailer or the office.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the summary is in front of you before the next one.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step reads the contractor's projects, news and job postings to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as a contractor replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “commercial general contractors in Texas with 50 employees or more”. The agent searches professional databases for size, matches each contractor in public sources, reads its website, removes duplicates, and hands you the list with where each one is based, its headcount, its offices and its website.
Ask for “the project managers at each contractor, with their email”. The agent looks them up by title in professional databases and on the websites' team pages, and verifies each email. When it finds none, it gives you the owner, who often runs the jobs at smaller contractors.
Tell the agent once: “every Thursday, reread my contractors' news pages and flag the ones announcing a project start”. The automation compares with the week before, and the contractor lands at the top of your list with the project and the city. Superintendent openings often say the same thing a few days earlier.
An email that mentions their latest project, a call the next day between 3:30 and 5:30 pm, a follow-up the agent writes from their job postings, then a last message. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, recorded, transcribed and summarized, and it all stops as soon as a contractor replies.
For 500 contractors with their website read, the owner and a project manager where there is one, around 380 emails and 150 cell phones, count about €75 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
In northern states, late fall and winter are when contractors plan and bid the next season, and when owners have time to talk. In the Sun Belt, building runs all year, so follow the projects instead: the week a job is announced is when they buy.
