we use the
http://www.constructionjournal.com/ for all of our leads. we used to do a lot of higher end residential years ago and there is def. more money in that than doing dot/municipal work. sure there are some jobs we do pretty good on. but the margins are lower but were doing bigger dollar jobs so i guess it balances out?!?! im much happier doing this type of work than i ever was doing residential/commercial. both markets are shot in nj. thats one of the nice things about bidding on rate work is that its pretty much a level playing field most of the time. everyone is paying the same money per hour, same insurances, paying taxes, etc. but prevailing rate is outta control you got guys making 25 to 55 an hour depending on what they are doing.

Don't think that there is lots of money, yes prices are higher but wages you pay are higher too! Here we pay prevaling wages and I know Paydaze7 pays them too.
