Three records, walked end to end.

This tour uses labeled sample records only. They show the shape of the feed and the way a record changes over time, without presenting invented projects as market evidence. Every record below is a sample, and every entry in its history is a sample entry.

Record one: Electrical

The first record is the same sample record carried on the home and product pages, reused here so the tour starts from the record a visitor has already seen.

Sample record Stage: Bidding

Riverside Community Recreation Center

A sample project, invented to show the shape of a live record. No real project, firm, or posting is shown here.

Location
Austin metro, Texas (sample)
Trade in scope
Electrical (sample trade)
Bid deadline
A Thursday, 2:00 PM Central (sample date and time)
Documents
Published bid documents, specifications included
Planholders
Named on the record where the public posting publishes them
Source
A city procurement posting: a published public solicitation document. On a live record, the source is named in full, with the posting date.

Stage history, as a live record keeps it (sample entries):

  • 🗂️Permit record matched to this project and merged into one record
  • 📄Solicitation published by the public owner; the bidding stage opens
  • 🔁Addendum issued; the bid deadline moved, and the record shows both dates

1. The record as published

The record opens with the project, location, trade, deadline, documents, planholders, and source together. The stage sits on its face, and the source line says where the record came from.

2. What changes over time

A permit record is matched and merged. The solicitation opens the bidding stage. An addendum moves the deadline, and the history keeps both the old and the new position instead of overwriting either one.

3. What the subscriber sees

A saved search for the trade surfaces the record. The daily digest carries the addendum as a change to a record already held, and following the project keeps every later event on the same record.

Record two: Roofing

The second sample shows a quieter kind of change: an addendum that clarifies the work and leaves the deadline where it was.

Sample record Stage: Bidding

Northgate Elementary School Roof Replacement

A sample project, invented to show the shape of a live record. No real project, firm, or posting is shown here.

Location
Austin metro, Texas (sample)
Trade in scope
Roofing (sample trade)
Bid deadline
A Tuesday, 10:00 AM Central (sample date and time)
Documents
Published bid documents, specifications included
Planholders
Named on the record where the public posting publishes them
Source
A school district procurement posting: a published public solicitation document. On a live record, the source is named in full, with the posting date.

Stage history, as a live record keeps it (sample entries):

  • 📄Solicitation published by the public owner; the bidding stage opens
  • 📝Pre-bid meeting note posted to the record by the owner
  • 🔁Addendum issued; the roof material note is clarified, and the bid deadline is unchanged

1. The record as published

The record opens at bidding stage with the roofing scope, the deadline, and the published documents named. A subscriber reads the scope before anything else, because the trade filter is what put it on the list.

2. What changes over time

The meeting note lands as a dated event. The addendum then clarifies a material note and expressly leaves the deadline unchanged, and the record shows that too: no change is also information.

3. What the subscriber sees

A saved roofing search holds the record. The digest flags the addendum as a clarification rather than a deadline move, so the subscriber can price the change without re-reading the whole file.

Record three: Plumbing

The third sample shows the change subscribers care about most: a deadline move, carried at the top of the record and in the digest.

Sample record Stage: Bidding

Harborview Medical Office Building

A sample project, invented to show the shape of a live record. No real project, firm, or posting is shown here.

Location
Austin metro, Texas (sample)
Trade in scope
Plumbing (sample trade)
Bid deadline
A Friday, 2:00 PM Central (sample date and time)
Documents
Published bid documents, specifications included
Planholders
Named on the record where the public posting publishes them
Source
A county procurement posting: a published public solicitation document. On a live record, the source is named in full, with the posting date.

Stage history, as a live record keeps it (sample entries):

  • 🗂️Permit record matched to this project and merged into one record
  • 📄Solicitation published by the public owner; the bidding stage opens
  • 🔁Addendum issued; the document set is revised, and the bid deadline moves later, with both dates kept

1. The record as published

The record opens with the plumbing scope, the document set, and the deadline in one place. The source is a public county posting, named on the record the way every live source is named.

2. What changes over time

The addendum revises the document set and moves the deadline later. The history keeps the original deadline beside the new one, so the size of the move is visible at a glance.

3. What the subscriber sees

The deadline move leads the daily digest for anyone holding the record. A saved plumbing search keeps it on the list, and following the project carries the next event to the same place.
