1. Find the source
We start with public records, official project pages, company announcements, procurement notices, and established news reporting.
How we verify
Source first. Label uncertainty. Keep checking.
DCBX organizes project and vendor information so contractors can evaluate a lead without mistaking research for an official bid notice.
Method reviewed October 2, 2026
2. Check the facts
We compare names, locations, project stage, timing, trade needs, and known participants across the available sources.
3. Label confidence
We separate confirmed facts from estimates, reported information, and items that still require direct confirmation.
4. Show the date
Records include source and review dates so members can judge whether the information is current enough to act on.
Project information
- Official bid documents and owner or GC notices take priority.
- Public plans, permits, utility records, and company announcements help establish project status.
- Dates, scopes, and contacts must still be confirmed with the official project source before bidding.
Vendor information
- Vendors submit their company, trade, coverage, safety, licensing, and experience information.
- DCBX may request supporting documents and compare material claims with public sources.
- A verified status is an information review, not a safety certification or contract recommendation.
