Our Story

Good contractors should not have to wait for the phone to ring.

Contractors often depend on referrals, searches, advertising, and shared lead services. At the same time, public records are signaling future construction activity. PermitScout.com connects those two realities.

Practical project intelligence, built for contractors.

Contractors can build an excellent reputation and still depend on opportunities arriving through referrals, Google, their website, advertising, or shared lead marketplaces. Those channels matter, but they often begin after a customer has decided to look for a contractor.

As Chief Technology Officer at Foster Web Marketing, Toby led the technology organization behind one of the most recognized digital marketing platforms in the professional-services space, overseeing mission-critical infrastructure that supported thousands of digital properties and the campaigns running on them.

Before that, he held senior technology leadership roles at Giesecke+Devrient, a $3.5B global currency and payment-automation company, working on enterprise infrastructure behind some of the world's most secure financial systems.

PermitScout.com applies that engineering experience to a practical business development problem. It monitors supported public project and permit records, organizes the activity, scores potential opportunities for your business category, and helps your team decide whom to contact and what to say. The goal is simple: help you take a more proactive role in building your pipeline.
