100% VERIFIABLE MUNICIPAL .GOV BUILDING RECORDS · DIRECT BUILDER CELL NUMBERS
Bid Open Sub-Jobs Before The Sub-Permit Is Pulled.
Every morning by 6:30 AM, FirstBid pulls newly issued master building permits directly from city & county .gov portals, strips out 80% handyman clutter and national tract builders (Lennar, D.R. Horton, Pulte), and matches the Custom GC or Commercial Superintendent's direct cell number.
1
How Does It Work?
Every morning by 6:30 AM, we pull newly approved Master Building Permits, Custom Remodels & Commercial TI jobs from abc.austintexas.gov, filter out national tract builders (Lennar, D.R. Horton, Pulte) and minor repairs, verify the specialty sub-permit is still unpulled, and match the Custom GC's direct mobile number.
2
How To Best Use This (5-Min Morning Routine)
Between 6:45 AM and 7:30 AM, pick 3 newly approved permits in your closest ZIPs and tap Message Direct to text the builder before they hit the job site. Texting 3 GCs a morning (15/week) typically lands 2–4 plan sets & bid walkthroughs every week.
3
Will It Work For Me?
Built for licensed HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Roofing, Solar, Concrete, Framing, Drywall, Painting & Commercial TI/Remodeling crews targeting $8,500–$45,000+ packages. Landing just 1 job all year pays for your $19 pass (then $99/mo) over 100x.
4
How Many Leads A Month On Average In My Area?
Right now Austin has 35 verified open dossiers live ($1.64M construction volume) and averages 95–140+ new qualified commercial & custom permits per month (~25–35 new jobs every week).

If This Sucks, Can I Get My Money Back?
100% Yes — Zero Hoops. Cancel your $19 7-Day Pass in 1 click before Day 8 and never pay $99/mo. Plus, if you text 5 builders using our scripts and don't land a bid walkthrough within 30 days, email support@tryfirstbid.com for a full 100% refund.

Why Persistent Contractors Win 3x More Bids:
1. GCs Are Busy on Jobsites: General contractors miss ~70% of first texts while driving or walking sites. 2. The 3-Text Rule: Sending Text #1 (Day 1), Text #2 (Day 3), and Text #3 (Day 5) with 1 tap puts you ahead of 90% of subs who give up after one try. 3. Track Your ROI: Check off each text as you send it, and when you land a job, tap Won Job ($) to track your total profit won inside FirstBid.
Every morning at 6:30 AM, export all open county permits + builder mobile numbers directly into Excel, Google Sheets, JobNimbus, ServiceTitan, or HighLevel:
