Public works project lead intake software for construction law professionals

See the dollars at stake before the consultation

The intake asks whether the project is government-funded, what role the caller played (contractor, subcontractor, supplier, designer, or surety), and whether at least $10,000 is at stake, plus any notice or claim already filed, so you see the agency and parties involved before you agree to a consultation.

What a qualified public works projects lead should tell you

Disputes and claims arising from construction projects funded by a government agency (city, county, state, or federal) — including payment, change order, delay, termination, bid/procurement, bond, and contract issues raised by contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, designers, or sureties.

The questions your team needs answered

Every public works projects intake asks these — and why each one matters.

QuestionWhy it matters
Is your issue about a construction project paid for by a government agency (city, county, state, or federal)?Government funding is the threshold fact that determines whether public works rules and remedies even apply, so it carries the heaviest weight in the catalog.
Are you a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, designer, or surety involved in that project (not just a nearby resident)?Confirming the caller is an actual project party (not a resident or bystander) filters out inquiries that have no legal standing on the project.
Does your issue involve payment, change orders, delays, termination, bid/procurement problems, bond claims, or contract disputes on the project?This identifies which of the covered dispute types (payment, change orders, delay, termination, bid protest, bond, contract) the matter actually involves.
Did the problem happen within the last 2 years, or is the project still ongoing?Recency matters because notice and claim deadlines on public projects are often short, so stale disputes are less likely to still be actionable.
Can you identify the government agency for the project and at least one other party involved (such as the prime contractor, subcontractor, or surety)?Being able to name the agency and at least one other party shows the caller has enough documentation to move a claim forward quickly.
Is there at least $10,000 at stake for you (unpaid amounts, extra costs, back charges, or potential penalties)?The $10,000 threshold separates disputes worth litigating or negotiating from disputes too small to justify the firm's time.
Have you already given any required written notice or claim on the project (or do you still have time to do so)?Whether notice has already been given (or can still be given) affects whether the claim is preserved or already time-barred.

Built for public works projects workflows

Cliont capabilityPublic Works Projects application
Weighted scoringGovernment funding, party role, and the $10,000-at-stake threshold carry the heaviest weights, so a well-funded, well-documented public works dispute automatically outranks a marginal one.
Conditional branchingIf a caller isn't a party to the project (contractor, subcontractor, supplier, designer, or surety), the intake can shortcut remaining questions rather than walking them through the full public works flow.
CRM routing with tagsLeads arrive in your CRM tagged with the government agency, the party role, and the issue type (payment, delay, bond, bid protest) pulled directly from the intake answers.
Notice-deadline flaggingAnswers about whether required written notice has already been given are surfaced prominently so you can spot time-sensitive claims before the consultation.

Common public works projects lead scenarios

Subcontractor unpaid on city project

Government funding, contractor role, and a payment dispute all confirmed with clear dollar amount at stake — this combination scores highest and routes straight to your CRM.

Bidder disqualified from municipal bid

The dispute involves a bid or procurement problem rather than payment or delay, but still qualifies since it's flagged as a covered issue type on a government-funded project.

Nearby resident with a complaint

The caller isn't a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, designer, or surety on the project, so the intake flags this as a poor fit rather than booking a consultation.

Old dispute, no notice given

The problem happened more than two years ago and no written notice was ever filed, which lowers the score even if the agency and dollar amount would otherwise qualify.

Surety fielding a bond claim

A surety on a public project reports a bond claim tied to a terminated contractor, combining the surety-party signal with the bond-claim issue type for a high-value match.

Public Works Projects lead-intake FAQs

How does the intake separate public works matters from private construction disputes?

The first question asks whether the project is paid for by a government agency (city, county, state, or federal); a 'no' answer drops the score sharply so private-project inquiries don't get treated like public works matters.

Will the intake filter out people who aren't actually parties to the project?

Yes — the intake confirms the caller is a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, designer, or surety, not just a nearby resident or unrelated third party, before scoring the lead higher.

What happens if the amount at stake is under $10,000?

The intake still captures the dispute type and party role, but a lower dollar amount reduces the score, so smaller matters are routed as lower-priority rather than discarded.

Does the intake ask about notice or claim deadlines?

Yes — it asks whether required written notice has already been given or whether time remains to give it, which helps you spot matters where a procedural deadline may be at risk.

Can this intake handle a bid protest instead of a payment dispute?

Yes, bid and procurement problems are one of the covered issue types alongside payment, change orders, delays, termination, bond claims, and contract disputes.

What if the project happened years ago?

The intake asks whether the problem occurred within the last two years or the project is still ongoing; older matters score lower, which helps you prioritize live and recent issues.
