Every construction permit is public the moment it's filed. BuildRadar monitors them all — filtered to your trade, sent within hours. You call the GC before any other sub knows the project exists.
Access is not guaranteed. One operator per trade, per market. Applications are reviewed by hand.
The reality
The GC already has three bids by the time you hear about the project. That's not a sales problem. That's a timing problem. And timing is the one thing you've never had a tool for.
What changes with BuildRadar
The moment a permit is filed, it's public record. That's your signal. The permit window — the 24–72 hours before the GC finalizes his subs — is the most valuable window in construction. We put you inside it.
Why now
How it works
Takes two minutes. Tell us what you do, where you work, and the minimum job size worth your time. That's the only setup you'll ever do.
Our system pulls from county and municipal databases continuously. Every permit: project type, scope, declared value, owner contact, GC of record.
Fresh leads in your inbox every morning. You reach out the same day. The GC hasn't heard from anyone else yet. That's your edge.
Platform
We scan county and municipal permit portals continuously. When a relevant permit is filed, it appears in your feed within hours — not days. The window of first-mover advantage is narrow. We keep you inside it.
LiveYou only see what's relevant to your work. Insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC — the feed is filtered for your trade so there's no noise to sift through.
Every permit includes available contact information for the property owner and contractor of record — so you can act immediately.
Permits include declared project values. Prioritize the jobs worth your time before you spend a minute on outreach.
See every active permit plotted on a map of your territory. Spot clusters, plan drive routes, and understand where construction activity is concentrated — all at a glance. Route your outreach efficiently instead of guessing.
A clean email every morning with new permits that match your profile. No login required to stay up to date.
Who this is for
We are not running an open beta. We are hand-selecting a small group of subcontractors who operate with intention — and giving them a structural advantage over every other sub in their market. If that's you, apply.
Our selection criteria
We review every application before granting access. Here's exactly what we look for:
You run an active subcontracting business in the US right now
You move fast — when you see an opportunity, you act on it the same day
You're willing to give direct, honest feedback while we build this
You understand that a first-mover advantage only works if you actually use it
The truth about this industry
"The data has always been public.
Nobody bothered to make it fast."
Every permit filed in the US is a matter of public record. The GC's name. The owner's address. The declared project value. The scope. All of it — sitting in government databases that were never built to be useful. We built the layer that makes it instant, filtered, and actionable. The subs who get in now will be unreachable in their markets within six months.
