Why Building Permits?

Building Permits are the public breadcrumb that a project is moving from idea to action.

🏗️

General Contractors

Building Permits are often too late for you. By this stage, the General Contractor has already been selected.

However! Building permits are a great substitute for driving around as a means of finding out who's building and what competitors are winning work you're not.

🛠️

Trades & Specialty Contractors

Building Permits when they're first applied for, are a great early indicator that the General Contractor has recently been awarded the work.

Depending on when your services are needed on a project, Building Permits can be used to identify who you should be building relationships with for future "last looks" OR early opportunities to get in front of the right builders to win today's project.

🧱

Material Suppliers & Manufacturers

Building Pemits are only one part of your multi-touch objective.  

You can use Building Permits to track when a projects starts, and ensure your teams are on the ground helping with installation and QC. They can also be helpful for identifying who you ought to be working with, that you might not already know.
