Buying signals

Where the money is moving in Colorado Springs

Federal contracts and building permits are early signs that a building is changing: new construction, a renovation, a re-roof.

Market view

What we see in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs storms come in a tight window: 84% of the 716 hail and wind reports from 2015 to 2024 fell in July, June and August. Roofing is crowded, ranked #83 of 89 markets on larger buyer sites per contractor, so roof assessments belong in the spring, before the season, not after the first hailstorm.

Health care is where the buyers are growing. Medical offices rose by 156 in one year, the largest gain of any category here, and sit at 1.35x the U.S. concentration. UCHealth's Memorial Hospital North expansion on Briargate Parkway begins construction in 2026, with multi-year mechanical, electrical and fire protection work before flooring and painting, and Children's Hospital Colorado announced an expansion of its Briargate campus in September 2026, which means construction inside an occupied hospital.

Painting has the most room of the trades we rank, at #18 of 86, and the pipeline needs painters: both hospital projects, Palmer High School's rebuild downtown, with a new wing opening in February 2027 and the historic building in March 2028, and the new Douglass Valley school at the Air Force Academy. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke ground on a temple in September 2026 with a general contractor from Utah, so the local opening there is the mechanical, electrical, paving and landscaping subcontracts.

Federal obligations reached $3.80 billion, nearly all of it in El Paso County. The Space Force operations facility at Schriever has no construction start yet, so it is a watch item, not a call list.

The rates are Abstrakt sales center, Performance Intelligence, national, October 2026, across all programs, not Colorado Springs results; the scenarios use the slower and faster quarter of buyer industries. Outbound results typically build over 6 to 12 months, so a first year rarely runs at a full year's pace. Benchmarks by trade and method.

Ava walks through the platform our strategists use, set to Colorado Springs.

Abstrakt Intelligence

This demonstration showcases real Abstrakt Intelligence capabilities using fictional companies and contacts to protect client and prospect privacy. Ava is Abstrakt's AI guide. The screens are the demo set to the Colorado Springs territory; its territory counts come from the demo data, not the Census figures above.

Read the transcript of Ava's Colorado Springs walkthrough

Hi, I'm Ava.

Here's what an Abstrakt program looks like in Colorado Springs.

First, we size your territory.

The Colorado Springs area has about 17 thousand companies and 76 thousand business contacts.

Next, we pick the playbook for your industry.

Each playbook starts with criteria that have already booked meetings.

For roofing, that's roof size, roof age and who owns the building.

Then we build the list.

Anyone who isn't a fit comes off before a rep ever sees the name.

Every prospect gets a full profile.

The decision-maker, the building, and every touch so far.

Before the first dial, each rep practices in an AI role play and gets certified.

Now the calls start.

The dialer, the talk track and the follow-up all live in one place.

Every meeting is reviewed for quality before it reaches you.

And we track each one all the way to closed.

We take one client per trade per territory.

Once a spot is taken, it's gone.

Check if your trade is still open in Colorado Springs.

Contractor licensing in Colorado

Colorado does not license general contractors or roofers at the state level, so licensing is handled by individual cities and counties. The state does register electrical contractors and fire suppression contractors.

Outsourced sales development in Colorado Springs, answered

Does Abstrakt provide B2B lead generation and appointment setting in Colorado Springs?

Yes. Abstrakt runs outsourced lead generation and B2B appointment setting across the Colorado Springs, CO metro from its St. Louis sales floor: U.S.-based reps prospect the buildings, qualify the opportunity and book meetings with the person who signs. We take one client per trade per territory.

How does B2B appointment setting work for a Colorado Springs program?

It starts with the list. Of the 1,562 sites in Colorado Springs with 20 or more people on site, we keep the ones that buy your trade inside your service area, then a certified rep works them by phone, email, LinkedIn and direct mail. Meetings are booked with the decision-maker, reviewed before they reach you and tracked to a proposal and a close.

Which commercial trades have the most room to grow in Colorado Springs?

Measured by larger buyer sites per contractor across the markets we track (a market is ranked for a trade only where it has at least 10 local contractors), commercial painting & coatings (#18 of 86), commercial landscaping (#36 of 100) and commercial HVAC & mechanical (#68 of 100) rank best in Colorado Springs.

What kinds of businesses are concentrated in Colorado Springs?

Compared with the national mix, Colorado Springs has more colleges and universities (1.66x), medical, dental and outpatient offices (1.35x) and apartment and residential property managers (1.29x). Those industries are the best-represented buyers for trades that serve them.

Is the Colorado Springs business market growing?

Yes, on both counts below. Private business establishments across Colorado Springs's counties went from 23,845 in 2021 to 25,937 in 2025 (+8.8%), and private employment +8.2% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, annual averages). In the latest Census count, 2,137 establishments opened and 1,999 closed in the metro (U.S. Census Bureau, Business Dynamics Statistics, 2023, March to March), so openings ran ahead of closings by 138.

How much federal construction money is spent in Colorado Springs?

Federal contract obligations with a place of performance in Colorado Springs's counties came to $3.80 billion in federal fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026), $117.5 million of it in construction (NAICS 23) (USAspending.gov (U.S. Department of the Treasury), retrieved 2026-10-15). Fiscal 2026 will still rise as delayed defense contract actions post.

Is the new temple in northeast Colorado Springs an opportunity for local subcontractors?

Yes, for the right trades. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke ground in September 2026 on a temple, a separate meetinghouse and a maintenance building at Flying Horse Club Drive and Barossa Valley Road, on a build of several years. The general contractor is from Utah, so local mechanical, electrical, paving and landscaping subcontracts are the opening, and a grounds site of that size needs long-term landscape maintenance after it opens.

What does the UCHealth Memorial Hospital North expansion involve?

An expansion that will nearly double the hospital on Briargate Parkway, adding surgical capacity and an expanded cancer center, with construction beginning in 2026. That means multi-year mechanical, electrical and fire protection work, followed by flooring and painting before the new space opens to patients. Painting has room in this market, ranked #18 of 86 on larger buyer sites per contractor, so painters should track the finish packages from the start.

Which counties make up the Colorado Springs market?

The metro covers 2 counties. El Paso County holds 98% of the larger business sites, so most programs start there.

What does outsourced sales development cost in Colorado Springs?

Starting at $5,000 per month for an Outbound BDR program, as a flat monthly program. The price depends on how many reps work your program, the channels, and how large a territory and how many trades it covers. For comparison, one in-house SDR costs about $124,700 in year one at a $55,000 base salary on our illustrative model, before ramp time.
