Built for the Industry.
Powered by the Community.

At Bulk Exchange, we're not just building tech. We're building trust. Our platform is where real people in heavy civil construction come to source smarter, move faster, and get the job done.

Not a Tech Startup.

A Heavy Civil Wake-Up.

Paul Foley grew up on a farm in Ireland, the son of an excavation contractor. After working across Europe, Australia, and the U.S., he settled in Northern California and built a solid career in heavy civil construction.
‍
But no matter how much experience he had, the process of finding materials, lining up suppliers, or tracking down pricing was always the same — slow, scattered, and stuck in the past. So he built Bulk Exchange. A search engine and marketplace made for the way the industry actually works — built to save time, cut the noise, and help real people move more dirt with less hassle.

This didn’t start with a pitch deck — it started with a problem.

This is What Happens When the Industry Builds its Own Tools

Bulk Exchange is the first digital platform purpose-built for heavy civil contractors, suppliers, and disposers. No generic tech. No middlemen. Just the tools you actually need:

Real-time inventory and gate rates

Verified suppliers and disposal sites

Simple quote-to-award workflows

One-stop sourcing across regions

Why We Exist

Too Much Time, Too Little Tech

Contractors still rely on Google, cold calls, and guesswork to source materials. It’s slow, frustrating, and burns out your best people. BX puts everything in one place—so you can get back to building.

70% of the Industry is Retiring

An entire generation of knowledge is walking out the door—and there’s no clear plan to replace it. BX helps capture and share that expertise with tools the next generation actually wants to use.

Old Systems, New Problems

The industry is evolving fast: infrastructure funding, labor shortages, rising costs. But our sourcing tools haven’t kept up. BX brings modern efficiency to the backbone of American construction.

What We Stand For

Built on grit. Connected by purpose. Grounded in tradition.

BX is built by people who know the industry — part operator, part technologist. We’re not here to disrupt. We’re here to deliver. That means respecting the way work gets done, amplifying the folks who keep it moving, and showing up where it counts — in plant offices, bid rooms, and every inbox in between.

Building the Next Generation

The future of civil doesn’t build itself.

That’s why we started the BXcellence Scholarship, to back the next wave of doers, leaders, and problem-solvers in heavy civil.

Bulk Exchange partners with colleges nationwide to connect students with real-world experience, industry mentorship, and the skills that matter on Day One.

The industry needs a pipeline of talent that knows the work, respects the craft, and shows up ready to go.
