Finding Your Untapped Market Potential Using Building Radar’s Calculator

Identifying underutilized markets is a game changer for any construction sales team. The Building Radar Revenue Potential Calculator helps companies pinpoint where growth is being left on the table—revealing new sales opportunities and showing how their current approach can be enhanced through AI. Whether you're operating in a single region or targeting international markets, this free tool helps clarify what you could be achieving with smarter prospecting and tighter sales strategy.

Building Radar supports construction-focused organizations by combining early project detection with CRM-ready automation and over 45 market filters. Its tools help uncover untapped potential in overlooked geographies or sectors, while streamlining the qualification and outreach process. This article walks through how each part of the calculator reveals growth opportunities and shows where your sales operations can evolve.

Why Untapped Market Potential Matters

Most companies are aware of the regions they serve best—but very few have a comprehensive view of where they could grow next. Untapped market potential refers to those segments, industries, or regions where your solutions could thrive but are currently underserved by your team.

The Revenue Potential Calculator breaks this wide open by factoring in key sales metrics and cross-referencing them with construction activity data. It allows you to rethink your focus markets and evaluate how you're using your resources.

Exploring the Market Selection Field

One of the first inputs in the calculator is your most important markets. Selecting one or multiple regions helps the algorithm determine where you currently have exposure—and where you're potentially missing out. For example, if your team has been focused mainly on the UK but high-value tenders are appearing in the Nordics or MENA, that’s a missed opportunity.

Building Radar Construction Projects shows live activity by country and sector. Pairing this with AI-driven insights can help reposition your sales team to regions with rising demand.

Using Filters to Discover Underexplored Regions

Building Radar’s calculator and platform offer access to over 45 filters, including region, sector, building type, and timeline. These filters help sales teams drill down into regions that fit their ideal customer profile but haven't been targeted yet.

By applying these filters to the project database, teams can identify pockets of demand they may have overlooked. For example, mid-sized residential projects in Central Europe or logistics facilities in North Africa might align with your products—but without filters, they stay hidden.

Sales Cycle Insight and Market Fit

Your average sales cycle is a critical data point that also informs market suitability. If your team has a 12–18 month sales cycle, entering markets with longer lead times (like infrastructure or public contracts) might be more natural than quick-turnaround developments.

The calculator factors this in, helping your team align their go-to-market efforts with how long it takes to close deals. Building Radar Insights provides market trend breakdowns and project timelines to help refine this alignment.

"The measurable impact really is... showing how efficiently we are managing the process to get in contact with these prospects and position our products."Bengt Steinbrecher, Holcim

CRM Use and Opportunity Management

Another input is whether you use a CRM system. If not, there’s a good chance your pipeline data is scattered across spreadsheets or emails. This limits your ability to spot where growth is actually happening.

Building Radar Features include CRM integrations that bring live project insights directly into your tools. With pipeline visibility and timeline tracking, your team can act faster on underutilized markets and identify when projects shift from planning to procurement.

The Role of AI in Unlocking Markets

AI is central to discovering untapped opportunities. The calculator asks how your team currently uses AI — if at all — in their sales process. If you're not yet automating lead discovery or project alerts, you’re likely missing time-sensitive opportunities.

With Building Radar, AI-driven recommendations help you uncover projects that match your product strengths, detect new tenders, and automatically route them to the right team. Tenders & Procurement updates ensure you're not late to the bid table.

"The whole point of the platform is to win projects at the end of the day. Building Radar has allowed us to get in front of key decision makers, people we wouldn't have necessarily approached before."Hannah Travis, Holcim UK

Time Allocation: Are You Selling or Researching?

The calculator also asks how much time your team spends actively selling. If more than 40% of their time is spent researching or qualifying, then scaling will be difficult. These gaps often come from not having the right data upfront.

Building Radar’s tools reduce admin work by centralizing project updates, contact discovery, and qualification checklists in one place. This gives reps more time to focus on nurturing real deals.

Building Radar’s Value in Uncovering Growth Gaps

The calculator is just the starting point—Building Radar turns insights into execution. Once you’ve identified a growth-ready region, you can monitor new projects, find key stakeholders, and launch targeted campaigns with a clear timeline.

Its automation tools also ensure new tenders, planning updates, and firmographics are fed directly into your CRM. This lets your team act on live intel instead of static data.

From Data to Action: Unlocking Your Market Edge

Using the Revenue Potential Calculator is the first step in discovering the upside your current sales efforts might be missing. With Building Radar’s AI-backed platform, teams can go beyond their current scope and penetrate new markets with speed and precision.

Rather than hoping your existing approach is optimized, the calculator gives you visibility—and Building Radar helps execute with real-time project data, AI tools, and CRM-ready workflows.
