Contractor Trade Segmentation
Know your target trades
SubForge's trade segmentation classifies commercial contractors by trade specialization, project type focus, and license class. This data helps you target firms that match your ICP and avoid wasting outreach on contractors that will never buy.
What we segment
- Trade specialization (16 categories with 25+ subcategories)
- Project type focus (healthcare, K-12, higher ed, multifamily, industrial, data center, hospitality, federal)
- Commercial vs residential focus
- License class and bonding capacity
- Decision-maker identification (owner, operations, BD, equipment manager, procurement)
How it works
Trade segmentation is available as a standalone dataset or as an enrichment layer on any contractor contact data order. We analyze license records, firm websites, project filings, and trade association memberships to classify each firm across multiple dimensions.
The result is a dataset that lets you target firms by what they actually do, not just what NAICS code they fall under. Know which contractors have the right trade, project mix, and license class for your product before you make the first call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard fields: company name, owner name, deliverability-tested email, direct phone, business address, state license number, license class, active status, trade classification, and project type focus. We can add bonding capacity or ENR ranking on request.
How is the data verified?
Every contact starts with a state license record. We verify the contractor is actively licensed, confirm their trade classification, validate the email address, and check the phone number. Records that fail any verification step are flagged or excluded.
