This article shows subcontractors how to find available projects in PlanHub with the keyword and filter tools.
PlanHub has a huge selection of projects that subcontractors can view and download files from and bid on.
To start browsing available projects, log into PlanHub, please navigate to the Project Leads tab. These projects have all been selected for you, and match your trades and the territory you set when you registered.
In the Project finder page you have three tabs:
PlanHub: A full list of all projects posted to PlanHub that align with any filters you have in place. These could be inside or outside of your plan access based on project location.
ITBs: a rolling 30-day list of projects you have received an Invitation To Bid, you may or may not have full access to these projects based on your plan and your relationship with the General Contractor inside of PlanHub.
Connections: This is a list of the projects that have been posted by the General Contractors that your company is is following. You may or may not have full access to these projects based on your plan and your relationship with the General Contractor inside of PlanHub.
From the PlanHub tab, you can sort the projects on your list by relevance, bid date, or distance.
Tip: Projects with padlocks on them are outside of your purchased plan. 
You can also apply filters to help narrow down the list of projects. To view and edit the filters click on the "Active Filters" button.
In the slide out you can edit, add, remove, or clear all filters. You can also set more detailed location parameters and search by additional trades, sectors, and labor status to see more specific projects.
After you select the specific filters you're interested in, scroll down to the bottom of the filter list and click the option you want:
Cancel: make no changes to current filters
Apply without Saving: apply the filters without saving your filters as a filter set
Save: saves this filter set to your current filter or as a new filter set.
You can access a list of all you saved filters and Archived Projects in the Filters List button
If you're just looking for a specific project, you can search by project name.
If you have Premier access, you can also scan for Keywords that occur with the project files for all projects that align with any filters you have in place: Example search "CMU".
Once you have performed a search, you can see how many hits we found on each project, click on the number of matches found to see a list of the hits we found and preview project files that have the phrase you listed.
When a project is selected in the project section, it will appear on the right. Click “View Project Details" and a separate window will open with additional details and documents associated with the project so you can start researching if the project is a good candidate for bid.
