Find the project before they are looking for a contractor.
PermitScout.com monitors new project activity in your market, uses AI to prioritize projects that may need your services, helps identify who is involved, and prepares your outreach.
Project scoring tuned for 56 business categories and counting
Most lead generation starts too late
Referrals, search, ads, and lead services can work, but they usually begin after a buyer starts looking. By then, several contractors may already be in the conversation.
Referrals are unpredictable
A strong referral can become good work, but you cannot decide when the next one will arrive.
Search makes you wait
Google, your website, and paid ads depend on someone deciding to search and then choosing to contact you.
Shared leads create a crowd
Traditional lead services may sell the same opportunity to several contractors after the buyer is already shopping.
Project intelligence hiding in plain sight
Every day, public permit records signal projects that are being planned. PermitScout.com turns that activity into a focused set of opportunities, so you can find potential work before the buyer starts actively shopping.

PermitScout.com monitors county and city permitting systems continuously, turning new public records into local project activity you can review.
