Mercator.ai provides AI-powered business development intelligence for general contractors to find early commercial and industrial project opportunities.

Mercator.ai is an AI-powered platform designed for commercial and industrial general contractors to enhance their business development efforts. It uses proprietary AI to detect early signals of private construction projects, such as title transfers, rezonings, municipal hearings, and filings, often months or years before traditional methods. The platform transforms these early signals into actionable project intelligence, providing details on what prospects are building, where, with whom, and for how much, along with suggested next steps for outreach. This enables contractors to identify and pursue high-value, negotiated work by being among the first to know about opportunities. Mercator.ai aims to reduce time spent on research, increase early project discovery, and improve business development efficiency. It covers specific markets in Texas and Florida, tracking over 110,000 active private projects across various sectors like healthcare, retail, office buildings, industrial, and multi-family.
