9.1 months of booked work
A Construction Email List Built on Backlog, Not Budget
ABC publishes contractor backlog every month, free. A firm at 11.6 months is turning work away and will buy capacity. A firm at 8.6 will buy anything that wins a bid. Build the construction email list the week you send it.

Backlog, not budget
The number your buyer is underwritten on is published every month
Ask a contractor for its budget and you get a shrug. Ask how many months of work it is carrying and you get a number, because its bank and its surety already have it.

What you get
Every field on a chief estimator's record
Chief estimators have no press office. They have a work email and a phone that rings inside a truck. The record carries both, plus company, headcount, title and LinkedIn, checked across 9 providers at reveal.

The honest pitch
Most construction lists photograph a workforce that already moved.
Construction sheds contacts by the hundred thousand. BLS JOLTS counted 305,000 construction separations in May 2026 against 295,000 hires, a 3.7% monthly separations rate against the 8.33M construction jobs BLS CES counts. The headcount barely moves, so a bought file looks healthy while the names under it turn over. And once ABC reprices the backlog, a construction email list from spring sends the wrong email by autumn.

↓ three things that actually move the needle
- 01
The first number is months, not dollars
Contractors underwrite in months of booked work, and so do their lenders. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator read 9.1 months in May 2026. Write to the number: capacity for the firm turning work away, a win for the firm chasing one.
- 02
The second number has to survive an estimator
The estimator decides whether your number is allowed into a bid at all. Cost is moving: Gordian's 2026 RSMeans data has construction labor wages entering 2026 up 4.6%. An email that takes cost out of a bid gets read.
- 03
The third number is a year ahead of the shovel
Dodge's Momentum Index tracks nonresidential building projects entering planning, and Dodge says the index leads nonresidential construction spending by a full year to 18 months. June 2026 read 271.7. By groundbreaking, the subs and the software are already chosen.
