🏗️ About The Permit
The story behind The Permit — and how we're helping construction professionals find real opportunities using verified government data.
Our Story
The Permit was built by construction professionals who were tired of chasing dead-end leads. We knew the best source of truth was the building permit itself — so we turned that insight into a powerful tool for builders, suppliers, and tradespeople.
The Problem
Contractors wasted hours chasing unreliable leads from outdated sources, missing real opportunities while competitors got there first.
The Insight
Building permits are filed before any other lead generation source knows about a project. They're the ultimate source of truth.
The Solution
We built a platform that monitors government permit databases 24/7, delivering fresh leads directly to construction professionals.
Our Purpose
Driving the construction industry forward with data-driven insights and real opportunities.
