Trades & Construction
Full order books, without cold calls.
From urban planning to procurement: Cernavio shows trades, suppliers and subcontractors where construction happens next and which general contractor needs a partner right now.
Where sales fails in this industry
450,000 notices, zero overview
Federal, state, municipal and utility buyers publish construction notices across thousands of portals. No one can check that manually.
Projects are born before the tender
Zoning plans, building permits and development resolutions announce projects months ahead. They sit in gazettes nobody reads.
Tender hunting eats your evenings
If you spend the day on site, you search portals at night and read 100-page specifications. That costs contracts and nerves.
This is what your morning looks like
