Chicago Building Permit Leads

PingPermit pulls new City of Chicago permits daily, scores them, and surfaces the address, scope, and valuation before the project starts calling around for bids.

Why Permit Timing Wins in Chicago

In a market with Chicago's teardown and two-flat rehab volume, the debris box and the demo bid go to whoever reaches the GC first — usually within days of the permit posting, not weeks.

A building permit is a legal filing that a real project is moving forward — with scope, valuation, and location attached. PingPermit monitors newly filed Chicago permits daily, scores each one, and delivers qualified leads before the opportunity gets crowded.
