Openconstruction

A public-records library of real project-delivery documents from publicly funded construction, assembled by the operator filing its own records requests over several years: 6,719+ documents across 1,975 projects in 36 states, representing over $44 billion of project value. Composition: 1,883 pay applications (schedules of values with billed-to-date line items — general conditions, fee, contingency, subcontractor lines), 757 GC/CM RFQ-RFP responses (proposed fees, staff billing rates, team structure), 1,653 designer RFQ-RFP responses, 807 executed contracts as signed (values, fee and contingency terms, liquidated damages, payment schedules), 306 selection-committee score sheets showing how each firm scored criterion by criterion, 247 bid forms and tabulations with winning and losing unit prices, plus 141 change orders, 88 project schedules, 222 budget pricing records, 51 design documents and 65 consultant RFQ responses. Owner mix: universities 2,247 records, transportation & infrastructure 1,154, municipalities 1,018, school districts 679, state agencies 488, hospitals 240, plus military and correctional. Every answer traces to the specific page it came from.

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal — page images and PDFs of real submitted documents (pay-app grids, contract signature pages, score-sheet tables, bid tabulations) indexed with page-level provenance and served through plain-English retrieval that returns the exact source pages. Underlying content is tabular once extracted (line-item values, unit prices, fees, dates, scores).
Volume: Stated on the property: 6,719+ documents across 1,975 projects and 36 states — 1,883 pay applications, 1,653 designer RFQ/RFP responses, 807 executed contracts, 757 GC/CM RFQ/RFP responses, 306 score sheets, 247 bid forms and tabulations, 222 budget pricing records, 141 change orders, 88 project schedules, 65 consultant RFQ responses, 51 design documents — representing over $44B of project value. Sample records range from hundreds of thousands to over $600M in project size.
Users: Not disclosed; membership model with state-based pricing and a $150/mo standard plan, so the base is professional members rather than registered consumers. Est. tens to a few hundred members (inferred from founder-led LinkedIn demo sales, a per-state pricing ladder, and a member-cooperative request feature that only works at modest scale).
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — new records arrive weekly from both the operator's own filings and members' requests (a cooperative library where member submissions add to the shared collection), the request service now spans all 50 states against 36 states of existing coverage, and the founder continues to publish demos on LinkedIn. Collection is demand-driven and compounding rather than static.
Launched: 2023 — stated directly by the founder ("I founded OpenConstruction in 2023"). The records themselves predate the product, since the operator describes having filed requests "for years" before assembling the library.
