How it works

Public records in. A clean list out.

01 · PULL

Every published permit

We pull building-permit records from city and county open-data portals on their own publishing schedule.

02 · CLEAN

Mapped to your trade

Addresses are standardized, duplicates merged, and each permit type and work description is mapped to the trades it affects.

03 · DELIVER

Monday, in your inbox

A CSV filtered to your ZIPs and trade plus a short digest. Daily alerts, a live Google Sheet and webhooks on higher plans.

The honest limit. A permit usually means the job is already sold. We say that up front. The value is what happens around it:

  • Neighbor marketing around active jobs: same-age houses on the same street.
  • Cross-trade follow-on demand: new roof → solar, gutters, insulation; remodel → HVAC, electrical, landscaping, pool; new build → pest, security, landscaping.
  • Competitor intelligence: which contractors pull permits where (where the jurisdiction publishes it), and who to recruit as subs.
  • Early-stage projects for commercial trades and GC subs.
What's in a row

Fields you can act on

  • Issue date, permit number and permit type
  • Standardized street address and ZIP
  • Scope of work from the permit's own description
  • Declared job valuation, where published
  • Contractor of record, only where the jurisdiction publishes it
  • Source dataset link for every row, so you can verify it
What we never do

Clean by design

  • Cold SMS, autodialed calls or AI voice calls to homeowners
  • Skip-traced homeowner phone numbers
  • “Guaranteed jobs” or “guaranteed revenue”
  • Add homeowner names to public records
  • Invent counts, customers or reviews

Questions

Where does the data come from?

Public building-permit records that cities and counties publish on their open-data portals (Socrata, ArcGIS, CKAN and similar). Each page names its source dataset and the date it was last pulled.

Does a permit mean the job is still open?

Usually not: a permit typically means the job is sold. The value is neighbor marketing around active jobs, cross-trade follow-on work, and competitor intelligence.

Do you include homeowner names or phone numbers?

No. Public permit data generally doesn't include homeowner names, and we don't add them or skip-trace phone numbers. You get the job address, ZIP, scope and declared value.

How do I know you cover my ZIPs?
