SEATTLE, Feb. 11 - Onvia (NASDAQ:ONVI), a leading provider of comprehensive sales intelligence, today announced it has broadly expanded its solutions for the construction industry by delivering hard-to-find information on emerging commercial and residential projects nationwide.
Unlike the government purchase opportunities Onvia has traditionally offered, commercial and residential projects typically start out below the radar.
"The new Onvia service eliminates the need to manually search public records," said Mike Pickett, CEO. "Onvia now notifies architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers about early-stage projects, including industrial parks, condos, retail developments and assisted-living facilities, in time for clients to build relationships with decision makers and potential partners."

"Onvia now notifies architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers about early-stage projects, including industrial parks, condos, retail developments and assisted-living facilities, in time for clients to build relationships with decision makers and potential partners."
One of the first companies to sign up for the new service was Long Span Bridge & Culvert, which designs and builds bridge and culvert systems nationwide. Long Span is a division of Lane Enterprises, both headquartered in Camp Hill, Penn.
"Private-sector projects are hard to find, and we need to learn about them as early as possible if we want to be part of the project team and get our systems specified," said Kevin McKee, PE, head of operations at Long Span. "The new Onvia service showed me projects I didn't know about and linked them to data on developers and engineers I need to meet. To have all that information available can change the way Long Span develops business."
"Clients have told us the new Onvia service plugs a major information gap in the industry," said Pickett. "By enlarging the pool of known opportunities, we can help clients sustain revenue growth in a slowing construction market."
