Searching for Projects by Detail is the most popular way to find projects in DATABEX. It gives you so many options and ways to filter results. This form works for both a narrow and broad approach to searching so you can find a specific project or a list of projects that meet your criteria. There are also several ways to get to the search details page.

From the top menu, hover over “Search” and then “Projects”. A dropdown will show four different project searches. “By Details” will be at the top of the list.

Another way to get to the “By Details” search page is from the main search icons on the Dashboard.

The last place to get to the “By Details” search page is from the side menu inside the app. This side menu shows only when you are on a search-related page.

Project Search by Details

From the “Search by Project Details” page, you have the option to search for any detail of the project. Let’s take a closer look at our options.

The following details are searchable in this form:

• Project Name
• Owner Name
• City
• State
• Zip
• Design Contract Availability
• Construction Contract Availability
• Method of Delivery
• Project Status
• Market
• Divisions
• Estimated Valuation (and Range)
• Square Footage (and Range)

The Project Name and Owner Name have an auto-complete function that enables you to start typing and then select the name from the dropdown. If the name you are looking for does not populate, it’s possible that it may be spelled wrong or not in DATABEX. This saves time and helps you solidify your entry.

The Sector relates to the contracted owner. Since they all operate differently and each has its own set of rules for contracting, you can select the Sector to filter your search that best suits your needs.

Contract Availability is a way to search for projects that do not have a design firm or general contractor already selected. If the contract is available, it is still a lead for those firms to pursue.

The sections highlighted in yellow below are multi-selectable filters for the project search. Select the options you would like to add then click outside the dropdown menu to exit the sections. To remove a selection, click on the X next to the option.
