Become a GCRA Contractor

Create a Lasting Impact in the Lives of Greenville County Residents

Through our work with builders and contractors, GCRA offers the dream of affordable homeownership to new buyers throughout Greenville County. Our efforts also allow us to provide safe, well-kept communities that spur economic development and pride.  Help us to continue the dream by becoming an approved builder and bidding on projects.

Current Bid Opportunities:

There are no projects currently out for bid.

The following requirements apply to all GCRA projects:

Any bids received which do not comply with the following will not be accepted.

Bids may not be submitted via email or other digital format (unless otherwise noted).

For proper bid submission, they must be sealed (wet-sealed or taped closed), and may be delivered by hand, US Mail, UPS, FedEx, or other carrier.  GCRA takes no responsibility for failure by carrier to deliver bids on time; bids arriving late will not be considered.
