What is a plan room?
A plan room is where contractors look at the drawings, specs, and bid dates for a job. Plans360 is an online plan room and bid room for public construction in Washington. It gathers government bids so you do not have to check every agency site yourself.
Where do I find government bids in Washington?

Each listing links back to the official posting. Plans360 does not copy listings from paid bid boards.
Is posting a project free?
Yes. Agencies, owners, architects, and general contractors can post a project at no cost. Submissions are reviewed before they go live, and you can link to your official bid documents.
What grants are available?
The grants list covers public grant programs for Washington, including federal, state, and local programs that contractors, small businesses, and communities can read about. A membership is required to open the details. The public home page shows how many grants are open, not the individual grants.
What does a membership include?
