For trades and suppliers · Door 1

Leads in your trade, not a spreadsheet.

Every permit is tagged with the trades it involves, 17 in all, from roofing, HVAC, electrical and plumbing to windows, solar, decks and basements. A roofer gets this week's Calgary roofing jobs over $20,000, not every permit the city issued. Suppliers and rental yards see which companies are building, and where. Save the search, get it by email Monday morning, export it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick your cities and trades

    Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Red Deer now; Airdrie, Grande Prairie and Strathcona County are being added city by city. Add a value range or a neighbourhood if you only work part of town.

  2. 2

    Save the search

    Get it by email every Monday at 7 am, or daily when something new is issued. Each permit links to its address page.

  3. 3

    Quote the work

    Export the week as CSV for your CRM or estimating sheet. Track an address to hear when the next permit lands on it.

What the city files, cleaned up

Sorted by trade

We read each permit's work description and tag it with one or more of 17 trades. A re-roof is roofing even when the city files it as an "alteration".

One name per contractor

"Example Roofing", "EXAMPLE ROOFING LTD" and "Example Rfg" become one company, with its permit history across every city we cover. Company names only.

Matched to the address

Every permit is tied to its address, with the zoning, the neighbourhood and the property's earlier permits.

Export and alerts

CSV and PDF export. Saved searches with weekly or daily email. Track single addresses.

What we show: address, work, trade, value, status, permit number, issued date, and the contractor or applicant company as the city supplies it.
What we don't: names of individual applicants, owner names, phone numbers or emails. Where a city leaves a field out, it stays empty and we say so.
Depth: contractor names on Calgary and Vancouver permits, construction values on Edmonton and Vancouver permits, the assessed value on Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver addresses, and the zoning and an aerial photo or drawn plan on every address page.
Free to check: the permit history on every address page is free, with no account. You pay for the feed, the filters, the alerts and the export.

Being added to the feed

New business openings from the cities' licence files, company names only; and more cities: Airdrie, Grande Prairie and Strathcona County. Subscribers get each one as it is added, at no extra cost. Edmonton development permits are already in the feed; we are working on getting Development Permit information for the other cities we serve.

What lands Monday at 7 am

One email per saved search: the count, the trade, the city and the week in the subject line, then each permit with its address, work, contractor and value. Tap through to the address page or the full feed.

Every alert has one-click unsubscribe and our sender details. Change how often, or pause it, any time.
