This is a visual preview of the intelligence PermitScope delivers in email reports. It is not a dashboard, a database login, or an interactive product. Your own digest is filtered to your trade, your territory, and your preferences, so your list will differ from this sample.

City source record

Sample matches from report data, presented as a visual summary. Record confidence scores how complete and corroborated the city record is; the basis is shown for every project in the full report. Valuations are the city’s stated figures, shown with their source in the full report. A permit shows a project exists; it never guarantees available work.
How it works

How PermitScope Works

Anyone can download a city’s permit file. Almost nobody has time to clean it, merge it, and judge it. That is the work we sell.

Every week, PermitScope reads the issued-permit records each market publishes, qualifies them into real projects, and matches them against the preferences you gave us at signup. What reaches your inbox is a short, sourced list built for your business, not a raw feed with your trade’s name on it.

01

You set your preferences once

Your trade, the ZIP codes you serve, residential or commercial work, the project types you want, and the value range you prefer. Change them any time; the next digest follows the new answers.

02

The engine qualifies every project

Permits merge into single projects, leads are classified, record confidence is scored with the reasoning shown, and bad data is flagged rather than hidden. In our latest 30-day Austin run, 4,690 permit records were fetched, 794 were excluded as final, expired, withdrawn, or otherwise inactive, and the remaining 3,896 were grouped into 3,064 projects.

03

Your digest arrives by email

The projects that match your preferences, who leads them, what their scope implies for your trade, and a link to the source record for every single one. No dashboard to babysit, no database login, nothing to install.

Personalization

Built Around Your Business

Two tile contractors in the same city can want completely different work. Your digest is built from your answers, so it reflects your business instead of a generic trade feed.

01

Your trade and specialty

Tell us your primary trade and the specialties inside it. Projects are matched on the trades their scope implies, and implied trades are labeled as inference on every card, never presented as fact.

02

Your territory

Give us the ZIP codes you actually serve. Projects outside your area are left out, however good they look on paper.

03

Your project types

New construction, additions, remodels, or the specific kinds of work you name. Residential, commercial, or both, so remodelers are not buried in office towers and commercial crews are not buried in bathroom renovations.

04

Construction value, handled honestly

Set a preferred value range and it is applied only where the city record carries a reliable valuation figure. Placeholder values in the records are never used to filter your digest.

05

A preference match score, nothing more

Each project is ranked by how well it fits the preferences on file for you. The score describes preference fit only. It is not a probability that work is open, or that you will win a contract. Every project that matches your preferences appears in your digest; we never withhold eligible projects to make two lists look different.
