General Contractor Leads from New Building Permits
You don't need another list of generic tire-kickers clicking around on a directory site. When a homeowner or property manager files a permit for a major addition, an ADU, or a structural retrofit, they've already spent money on plans. They are ready to break ground. Finding these projects the moment the permit hits the public record means you can bid before they start fielding calls from everyone else.
The Signals That Matter
Not every permit is a goldmine. We extract the critical descriptions and project valuations that indicate real money is being spent on your trade.
Whole-Home Remodels
Permits detailing structural changes, additions, and heavy residential alterations.
ADU Conversions
Accessory Dwelling Units are booming. We flag new ADU filings the day they happen.
Commercial Build-Outs
Tenant improvements and commercial space alterations that need a serious GC.
Why Permit Timing Beats Bought Lead Lists
Most lead platforms sell the same "remodel inquiry" to five different contractors. A building permit is a matter of public record indicating true, undeniable intent. They aren't just thinking about it—they are dealing with the city to make it happen. Reaching out right after a filing means you catch them at the exact moment they need a general contractor to take the baton.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How recent are these general contractor leads?
We process the permit data daily. You see the opportunities roughly 24 to 48 hours after they are filed with the city.
Q. Do these homeowners already have a GC?
Often, permits are initially filed by an architect, an expediter, or the homeowners themselves before a GC is officially locked in. Reaching out early maximizes your chances to bid.
Q. Can I filter out small jobs?
Yes. Our feed includes estimated project valuations and clear work descriptions, so you can ignore the $5,000 jobs and focus on the $250,000+ projects.
