Market Intelligence
The scope no estimator has ever had — on your own company and every competitor. Real submitted prices, win rates, and where the market actually clears — by scope, county, and agency. Built on 1.7 million+ bids contractors actually put on paper. Updated daily.
The difference
A national number averages markets that price nothing alike — it fits no job you'll actually bid. Caliche shows the real unit prices submitted on your scope, in your county, to your agency, and who else was at the table.

Search the corpus
Pull any public bid tab by project, agency, county, or contractor. The full bidder totals ladder is open to everyone, and the first three line items are real — priced across every bidder with their actual submitted unit prices, not a model. The complete line-for-line matrix — every bidder, every line — is an Enterprise capability.
Start with yourself
Type your company. Every bid you've filed at a public letting we track — the way the market sees it. Then imagine that same depth on everyone you bid against.

01
Every unit price contractors submit at public bid openings — captured by item, county, and agency type. Not a sample, not a model. What actually got bid.
02
Houston Public Works, MUD districts, TxDOT, and city agencies each price civil work at their own level. Caliche knows which market a job belongs to and reads it on those terms — never a statewide blur.
03
Where you stand against the market — and against the specific contractors you're bidding against. Your number in context, before you submit it.
Ground truth
No cost books. No national averages. No model output dressed up as data. Every price in Caliche is a unit price a real contractor submitted at a public bid opening — dated, sourced, and traceable to the letting it came from. You don't have to trust us. Search any contractor or agency above and read the record yourself.

Calibrated to the market where you actually bid — every TxDOT district, every major metro, down to the county. Texas first; built to cover every market a civil contractor competes in.
The Caliche Enterprise market workbench — the field, your competitors, and your own scorecard, in one place.
Reconstruct the full field on any closed Texas job — the winner and every loser, line for line, off the real public bid tabs. The room you’re about to bid into, rebuilt from the numbers your competition already showed. Nobody else hands you the losers’ tape.
Search any tabulated bid and read the actual per-bidder ladder, line for line. Not a modeled "what it probably went for" — the real prices every contractor put on the table. A model gives you an estimate; Caliche gives you the receipts.
Ranked lanes worth chasing next — scopes and agencies where the field is thin, the spread is wide, or the work matches what you already win. Point your bidding at the openings, not the dogfights.
An item × bidder price matrix: pick a line item and see exactly who quotes it and what they charge. Know who you’ll be sitting next to on a scope before you write your number.
Type any contractor and pull their record the way the market sees it — win rate, win size, the agencies they own. Then run your book against theirs, head to head, scope by scope.
Your items against the whole market: where you’re leaving money on the table, where you’re pricing yourself out, and which of your rates have gone stale. The prices that move YOUR number, surfaced first.
Market Intelligence is the Caliche Enterprise workbench — every competitor, every county, every agency, your own scorecard included. Book a walkthrough and we'll pull up your market live.
