PermitFocus turns public building permits into a live list of the builders pulling new-home permits in your market, who's ramping up, and how to reach them. Open it and start working.
The enterprise platforms make you book a demo and sign a $15k to $30k contract before you see a thing. You just open it, and the work is right there.
Every builder ranked by new-home permits in your county, refreshed weekly, with 90-day momentum so you see who's ramping up right now.
The communities and addresses behind the permits, plus drive-time catchments so you target jobs inside your range.
Builder profiles with contact details, a watchlist that emails you when new permits hit, and CSV export anytime. No spreadsheets, no scraping.
Every trade enters the build at a different point, but all of them come after the permit. Knowing about the job on day one means your bid is in before the window closes.
A public record, filed weeks before ground breaks. In PermitFocus within days to about a week.
Anyone whose next job starts when a new home does. The same permit and builder data, tuned to your trade.
