The reality

You're not losing jobs because your work is worse.
You're losing them because you show up late.

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's actually happening right now
A permit was filed this morning in your county. You won't find out for two weeks.
By then, the GC has a preferred sub. The relationship is set. Your bid is a formality at best.
Word-of-mouth puts you fifth in line, every time.
By the time a job reaches your network, at least four subs heard about it before you. You're not competing — you're catching up.
Driving around to spot new sites costs you hours and gets you nothing actionable.
A dumpster in the driveway means the project started three weeks ago. The GC already has his team. You're scouting history.

What changes with BuildRadar

You become the first call. Every time.

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.

The structural shift
Permits in your area land in your feed within hours of being filed.
Filtered for your trade, your geography, your minimum project size. No noise. No searching. Just jobs you can actually bid.
You call the GC before any other sub knows the job exists.
That single advantage compounds over time. Early relationships win repeat work. One first call can become a three-year account.
This is not lead generation. It's a permanent structural edge.
Your competitors are still relying on word-of-mouth. You'll know about every project in your market before they hear a word.

Why now

The construction market is the largest it's been in two decades. Most subs are still finding work the same way they did in 2005.

$2.1T
Annual US construction spend
Construction spending in the US hit record levels. Permits are being filed daily across every major metro. The opportunity is there. The question is who captures it.
72 hrs
The window that matters
The 72 hours after a permit is filed is when GC relationships are formed. After that, the sub roster is set. Most operators never even know that window existed.

Tools built for this — until now
No software existed to surface permit data in real time, filtered by trade, delivered before the competition. BuildRadar is the first. Early users lock in a structural advantage that doesn't go away.

How it works

Three steps. Then you're ahead of every sub in your market.

1

Set your trade, territory, and project size floor

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.

2

We scan every public permit filed in your counties — daily

Our system pulls from county and municipal databases continuously. Every permit: project type, scope, declared value, owner contact, GC of record.

3

You get the matched permits. You make the first call.

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.

We are selecting one operator per trade, per market.
If someone in your area gets in before you, your window closes.

Platform

Everything built around one goal:
you hear about it first.

📡

Real-Time Permit Monitoring

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.

🎯

Trade-Specific Filtering

You 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.

📋

Owner & GC Contact Details

Every permit includes available contact information for the property owner and contractor of record — so you can act immediately.

📊

Project Value Estimates

Permits include declared project values. Prioritize the jobs worth your time before you spend a minute on outreach.

Who this is for

This is not for everyone.
We built it for the best.

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.

🔧 Plumbing
Electrical
❄️ HVAC

🪟 Framing

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

We will not approve your application if
You are a general contractor — this is built exclusively for subs
You are not currently operating in the US
Someone from your trade in your market already has access
You're not actively looking for new project work right now

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.
