For certified MBE, WBE and veteran-owned firms · New York & New Jersey

A buyer checks three things in thirty seconds. We make sure you pass.

For certified operators who already sell to government, institutions and general contractors, and are under-equipped for the buyers they already have. Start with a free read of the opportunities you are eligible for and the one thing on your site a contracting officer would flag. Free, on a 20-minute call, by a certified MBE studio.

01

Who This Is For

Certified, established, and selling to buyers who check.


Trades and specialty contractors

Electrical, mechanical, carpentry, site work, general contracting. You bid to agencies, authorities and primes, and the licenses, certificates and POs decide as much as the price.

Staffing, home-health and facilities services

Nursing and home-care agencies, security, janitorial, environmental services. Your customers are hospitals, agencies and institutions with a vendor portal and a checklist.

Suppliers to institutions

Logistics, equipment, uniforms, print, food service. You are on a certified list already; the question is whether the buyer can find you and trust what they find.

The fit is specific on purpose. NMSDC, WBENC, NYC, NYS or Port Authority M/WBE, SBA 8(a), HUBZone or SDVOSB certified, or eligible and not yet certified. Five years or more in business. The owner or principal is the person on the call. If that is you, the read below is worth twenty minutes. If it is not, the studio’s other work is on the work page.

The Certified Opportunity Read.


Before asking for your time, we do the work. Tell us your company, your certification and your NAICS codes, and within two business days you get three things, walked with you on a twenty-minute call.

  1. 1

    The opportunities you are eligible for and not bidding.

    Open federal, state and city solicitations matched to your NAICS codes, your certification and your geography, with the ones due inside thirty days at the top.

  2. 2

    The buyer’s thirty-second check of your site and capability statement.

    What a contracting officer, a prime’s diversity manager or a hospital procurement lead sees first, and the one thing that would make them move on. Read against a real checklist, not an opinion.

  3. 3

    The program you are eligible for and not registered in.

    Certifications and registrations stack. Most certified operators are missing at least one they already qualify for, and it is usually the one their next buyer requires.

No cost, and no pitch attached to it. If the read shows nothing worth doing, it says so and the file closes.

03

If The Read Finds Work

Three engagements, in the order buyers need them.


First

Buyer-Ready Kit

The first desk, live, in three weeks: the one process costing you the most, built on your own POs and cost sheets. Fixed fee, credited toward a Build signed within 90 days.

Then

The Build

The Core System in 4 milestones, or the full Contractor OS in 8 to 10, on AsBuilt. Each milestone is billed when it goes live.

Ongoing

Studio Care

One named person runs your system and keeps it current, priced by your annual volume. 12-month term.

The prices are one ladder, the same for everyone, published on AsBuilt’s pricing page. Every engagement starts with the free read. Most certified operators start with the Kit.

Not registered in SAM.gov? Your certification does nothing federally until you are. Registration itself is free and you can file it alone. If you want the codes and positioning chosen for you, ask on the read. Already bidding? AsBuilt keeps the bids you are chasing on the same record as the jobs you win: see AsBuilt

Proof

Built for a certified contractor, by a certified studio.


Integral Construction of NY is an NMSDC-certified general contractor. The studio built its website, integralccny.com, and its desk on AsBuilt, the Contractor OS: purchase orders, change orders and AIA billing on one record, around how a real desk runs a real job. Read the case study.

Great Breads Studio is itself a certified MBE. The registrations, the NAICS codes and the certifying bodies are published on the supplier diversity page, and the studio’s accessibility posture on the Section 508 page, because a buyer should be able to check us the same way we check for you.

05

Request The Read

Five questions, then the calendar.


Enough to run the read properly. Submit and you land on the booking page to pick the twenty minutes; the read arrives before the call.

Two business days. By submitting, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.

Common Questions

Asked on most first calls.


Is the read really free, and what is the catch?
It is free, and the catch is that it is how we qualify. If the read finds work worth doing, we will say what it is and what it costs. If it does not, it says so and the file closes. Either way you keep the read.
We are not certified yet. Does this apply?
If you are eligible, yes. The third part of the read is exactly that: which programs you qualify for and are not in. Pick “Not yet certified, but eligible” on the form.
Do you count toward our own supplier-diversity goals?
It depends on whose goals. Great Breads Studio is NMSDC certified, so an engagement counts for corporate supplier-diversity programs that accept NMSDC certification. New York City and New York State M/WBE goals count only firms certified by the City or the State. NMSDC certified MBE. NYC M/WBE applied, October 2026. NYS MWBE not yet filed. The details are on the supplier diversity page.
Is this a website company?
No. The product is AsBuilt. The website and brand work serve it.

There are no secrets. There are systems.
