Our Story

Construction Bid Source helps contractors, suppliers, architects and estimators find construction opportunities faster. We publish bid notices, project updates, outreach ads, and tools that support Good Faith Effort (GFE) workflows.

The company began in 1992 as Regis Communications, delivering project notices by fax and bulletin board to a small member base. In the early years, coverage expanded city by city by working directly with public works and engineering agencies across the Bay Area and California.

As internet adoption accelerated in the mid-1990s, the service moved online and helped modernize how construction opportunities were distributed. During that period, the business evolved from Regis Communications to R-COM, and later to Construction Bid Source.

In 1996, California state procurement leadership recognized the platform as a viable electronic Trade and Focus media source for outreach visibility. That early recognition helped establish the company's role in supporting DBE/HUB outreach communications for public work.

Over time, the platform grew from local coverage into broad regional and statewide listings, with hundreds of thousands of opportunities published over the years. In 2005, a fully redesigned website launched at constructionbidsource.com.

Today, Construction Bid Source continues to focus on practical bid information, dependable publishing operations, and responsive customer support for the construction community.
