Construction permit leads are only worth something while the permit is still warm, because a business that just pulled one is mobilizing crews and equipment now.
TLDRProxi reads construction permits daily, one of 10,000+ public sources it watches across 11M+ businesses. Every permit resolves to one business, so you get a ranked morning call sheet instead of a feed: who just pulled one, the permit as evidence, and a phone number, priced per territory rather than per seat.
Nobody files a construction permit for fun. It costs a fee, it invites an inspector, and it is filed because work is starting: a slab, a tenant buildout, a utility trench, a new yard. By the time the permit is issued, the company has priced the job, signed something, and put a date on the calendar, so the crews and the equipment have to be there.
That is what makes a permit different from a firmographic record. "Thirty employees, sitework contractor" stays true for years and tells you nothing about this week. A permit issued on Tuesday has a short shelf life, and the window while it is still open is exactly when a rental, a machine, a materials order, or a service agreement gets decided. Miss the window and you are calling a company that already bought.
Construction permits are read daily, alongside state business filings, 811 locate tickets, environmental records, licenses, procurement awards, court records, job postings, and the open web. Each source is polled on its own publishing cadence.
A permit names an applicant, an address, and a contractor, spelled differently in every jurisdiction. Every record resolves to one business, so the permit joins everything else already known about that company instead of becoming another orphan row.
You open Today: a ranked list of businesses in your territory whose records just moved, each with the evidence that put it there, the permit or the award or the locate ticket, and a phone number. The list and its evidence push into the CRM you already use.
Construction permits are read daily and 811 locate tickets within minutes of posting, because each source is polled on its own publishing cadence. The call sheet is rebuilt every morning from everything that landed overnight, so what you read at eight is what the records said at seven.
Everything Proxi reads is already public, and every source is collected within its published terms. A permit is a public filing, and so is an award, a license, and a locate ticket. Coverage shows exactly what was asked, what was found, and what could not be asked, so there are no silent gaps in your territory.
No. Proxi pushes the ranked list and the evidence behind each name into the CRM you already use. It is the input that decides the day's calls, not a replacement system of record.
No. A permit feed hands you permits, one row per document, and leaves the work of figuring out which company that is and whether it matters to you. Proxi resolves every record to one of 11M+ businesses and ranks the businesses, using permits as one source among 10,000+, so the output is a call order rather than a pile of filings.
