How it works

1. We pull official permits

Straight from city open-data portals: NYC DOB NOW, Austin Development Services, and the Chicago Department of Buildings.

2. We filter to real jobs

New builds, demolitions, gut rehabs and major renovations. Chicago and NYC permits must be over $50k. Office fit-outs and facade repairs are filtered out.

3. You get your trade's leads

Address, scope, reported value and the GC or applicant business, delivered to your inbox every Monday.

4. Contractor contact cards

Each lead names the builder and includes whatever the public record shows: license number, business phone and address. Where we add details from official city business-license registries, we tell you how confident the match is.

5. Your filters, your alerts

Choose your trades, neighborhoods or ZIP codes, and a minimum job size. You can also turn on same-day alerts for big jobs.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Official open-data building permit records published by each city. They're public records, refreshed daily by the cities, and we compile them weekly.

Aren't these jobs already taken?

The general contractor usually is. But new builds and major renovations need subcontractors for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, windows and finishes, and the permit often comes before those subs are chosen. We include the GC or applicant business so you know who to call.

Do you include homeowner names?

No. We only list business names. We never publish private owners' names.

How accurate are the trade tags?

Tags come from keyword rules applied to the permit description, so treat them as a filter, not a guarantee. Always review the full scope.

Which cities are next?

Los Angeles and Philadelphia are on the shortlist. Tell us where you work.

Where do contractor phone numbers come from?

Only from public records: the permit itself (Austin lists the contractor's phone) or official city business-license registries (NYC). Each card shows its source and match confidence. We never publish homeowner contact details.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime, from the link in any email or your billing portal.
