With the construction industry’s reliance on timely and accurate project information, Databuild’s Project Lead Generation service is an indispensable solution. This flagship offering provides a comprehensive B2B online database filled with active contacts, projects, and tender opportunities across South Africa and SADC regions.
“Our platform was designed with the unique needs of the construction sector in mind,” says Morag Evans, CEO of Databuild. “It connects businesses with relevant project leads that align with their specialities, ensuring contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers can target opportunities at the right time.”
Project Lead Generation provides a wealth of information across various stages of construction projects — from planning to tender and awarded. This resourceful data includes contact details for architects, quantity surveyors, contractors, and sub-contractor teams, creating a clear line of engagement with the decision-makers.
“The real-time updates we provide empower our clients to proactively market their products and services to the right people throughout the supply chain,” Evans explains. “Whether targeting specific sectors, locations, project types or stages, companies can filter their search criteria, ensuring they pursue high-potential leads that align with their business goals.”
“Our service isn’t just about quantity; it’s about delivering leads that truly matter,” says Evans. “Clients can set up watchlists for projects, assign tasks, and create reminders, making it easier to stay organised and competitive.”
Databuild’s platform tracks both private and government projects within the building and civil sectors, covering everything from commercial and residential builds to educational facilities and industrial developments. This breadth of coverage ensures that clients have access to the most relevant and actionable construction leads.
“Construction companies are incredibly diverse in their focus areas, and our database reflects that. We provide industry-specific insights so that businesses can engage with projects that align perfectly with their expertise,” adds Evans.
Additionally, Databuild’s commitment to data integrity means clients can be confident in the information they are accessing. Along with having built key relationships with industry professionals over the past 50 years, the company’s dedicated research team also actively monitors various platforms for new project developments and updates.
“We conduct extensive validation to ensure that every lead is accurate, timely, and relevant to our clients. Over the course of a year, our researchers engage with approximately 33,000 industry professionals. It’s this depth of engagement that sets Databuild apart.”
The service goes beyond lead generation. It also includes insights into the businesses that are being prospected, their current projects and activity. This enables Databuild clients to make informed pitches and gain a competitive advantage. This market intelligence component is vital for businesses looking to position themselves strategically.
“Knowing where demand is growing allows our clients to direct their efforts toward projects with the highest potential. In this way, we help them scale their growth by connecting them with leads that are not only timely but also relevant to their sales opportunities.”
By freeing up sales teams from the task of sourcing new leads, Databuild enables companies to focus on what they do best – winning projects and building strong client relationships. Every Databuild client receives support from a dedicated Account Manager, providing tailored assistance and training to maximise the platform’s impact.
“Our goal is to become a partner in our clients’ success. When their sales teams can dedicate their efforts to closing deals rather than hunting for leads, they see a significant boost in productivity,” concludes Evans.
