New permit alerts, pre-qualified
For a contractor who wins jobs by being first to call the homeowner who just pulled a permit.
A homeowner files for a permit to add a bathroom, and the county posts it publicly — same as every permit. Being first to call that homeowner is how these jobs get won. But "checking the county site" usually means someone opening the portal every few days, scrolling the day's filings, guessing by eye which ones are real remodel jobs versus a fence or a water-heater swap, then hunting down who owns the property and how to reach them. By the time that's done, three other contractors have already called.
One way it plays out
- New filings get picked up the night they post — no waiting for someone to remember to check the portal.
- The junk gets filtered out on its own — a $40,000 addition moves forward; a $600 water-heater replacement drops off, judged on what the filing actually says, not someone skimming a list. The owner's name, phone, and mailing address get attached, and the lead lands in your CRM with a follow-up sequence already armed.
- A digest hits your inbox the same morning — every new qualified lead from overnight, sorted by project value, with the permit type and address ready to work from.
That's one way it plays out — the exact filter (project types, value, area) gets shaped around the jobs you actually want.
So you're calling the bathroom-addition homeowner the morning after they filed, while yours is the first number they hear — and at the end of the week a short summary shows how many permits were pulled, how many passed the filter, and how many turned into a live conversation, so it's clear the pipeline is finding the good ones, not just the fast ones.
Works for: general contractors, remodeling and cabinetry, roofing and exterior services — any home-services business that wins on being first to call.
Everything stays on servers here in Canada, and once it's built the whole thing is yours to keep — not a subscription, and not tied to anyone's platform. I'm here in Winnipeg: I set it up, and I stay with you and your team until it's running the way you want.
