A permit posts
Every re-roof, panel upgrade and condenser swap becomes a public record the day it's filed.* We pull each metro's own permit feed daily, geocode it, and categorize it.
Live permit coverage across US metros refreshed daily
We know where the next job happens before anyone else.
All kinds of work need building permits. We track that public permit data along with other factors to predict future activity with a one-of-a-kind learning model. See what's going on in neighborhoods around you and get intel on the hottest new opportunities.

Accuracy

median accuracy of the model's top calls
Predictions are made at the census-tract level. Individual property suggestions are based on similarity to past property characteristics of permits. A call counts as a hit when the predicted figure lands within 15% of the true count, or when the tract's predicted rank lands within 10 places of its actual rank within a city.

Start freeHow it works
Permits are a leading indicator. We turn them into your next appointment.
No scraped homeowner lists, no bought leads, no cold data. We track public building permits and use our millions-deep database to predict future activity.
Trends form
Permits cluster. A neighborhood's recent same-trade activity, its housing stock age and its income profile all move together. We map and analyze these trends.**
We rank the neighborhoods
For each tract and work type the model discovers invisible trends and puts a number on how many homes are likely to pull a permit, and what that work is worth.
*Some metros do not make new data public every day. We check and pull new data daily as it updates.
Permit and other data and their categorization is not guaranteed to be complete and/or correct.
