For Contractors & Trades

Reach the project at the stage your trade works

A permit alone is a vague signal. A permit tagged with stage, scope, and value is a lead. We tell you not just that work is happening, but exactly when each project is ready for your trade.

THE CHALLENGE

Cold bidding is expensive and slow

Bid boards are expensive. Word of mouth is late. Reaching a project at the wrong stage, too early or after the trade is hired, is wasted estimator time.

WHICH PERMIT FIELDS YOU USE

The permit fields you actually use

The fields your trade relies on most:

01

Permit type and sub-type

Filter to the project types your trade actually works on (basement finishing, kitchen renovation, addition, new build, roofing, etc.).

 

02

Scope-of-work flags

Filter on the specific work flags (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, drywall, finishes) that your trade is hired for.

 
 

03

Lifecycle stage

The single most useful field. Targets your outreach to the stage where your trade is hired, not too early and not too late.

 
 

04

Declared value and value band

Qualify project size and budget before spending time on outreach.
• Location and geocoding: filter by radius around your base or service area.
