One generic contractor field can make a staffed project look like an opportunity. That wastes estimator time and weakens trust.

The problem we solve

Public data is everywhere. Useful timing is not.

Most contractors do not need another database. They need an answer to one operational question: what should we act on today?

We look earlier than the permit alone.

Development and site-plan filings can surface projects before a building permit is issued, creating an earlier relationship-building signal.

We check instead of assuming.

Permit-stage candidates are checked against the City’s current record before they become a recommended call. The briefing separates what the record shows from what still needs confirmation.

We deliver a shortlist, not a quota.

Projects are organized by timing and trade relevance. If nothing clears the bar, we would rather say so than manufacture activity.

How the system works

From city filing to morning briefing.

A simple email on top of a careful research process. No dashboard to learn and no fixed lead count to justify.

Collect the signals.

During the pilot, we monitor available public building permits and development filings for commercial projects entering relevant stages in the Raleigh/Wake launch market.

Weekday monitoring during the pilot

Verify the record.

We check the current City record for the strongest permit-stage candidates and state exactly what was found, when it was checked, and what remains unknown.

Evidence before inference

Send the shortlist.

Your team gets a concise email with what changed, why it may matter, and where to direct the next check or call.

No alert when nothing clears the bar

How every project is triaged

Not every project deserves the same urgency.

The briefing separates projects by what the public record says today, so your team knows where to spend attention now versus later.

Candidate

Worth checking now.

A building permit is live, the GC is identified, and your trade was not named in the City record when checked. That is a reason to confirm status with the GC. It is not proof the package is open.

Preconstruction

Build the relationship.

A site plan is filed or moving through review before the building permit. The GC, bid timing, or trade team may still be unknown.

Relationship-building context
Facts kept separate from estimates

Watchlist

Tracked in silence.

A relevant project without a strong timing signal today does not appear in your briefing. Its status stays tracked run to run, and the moment the public record shows a real stage change, it comes back as a new signal.

The difference

We make the record more useful by knowing when to exclude a lead.

The credibility of the briefing is not how many rows it contains. It is whether your estimator can trust the rows that remain.

7-day founding pilot

Let a week of real briefings earn the next month.

Start with a private sample, confirm a pilot start date, then judge a week of current briefings by the checks and calls your estimator would actually make. No card is required.

Prove the value before you pay.

The first goal is not to sell you a long contract. It is to learn whether the briefing consistently helps your estimator find calls worth making.

Raleigh-area coverage. Additional Wake municipalities confirmed during onboarding
Feedback helps shape the product

Standard rate after the five founding seats: $199/month for one trade in the launch market. The founding cohort covers the first five electrical or HVAC/mechanical companies accepted into the pilot. Coverage is confirmed during onboarding. The service is non-exclusive, because the underlying records are public and GCs typically seek multiple bids. You are paying for monitoring, filtering, record checks, prioritization, and delivery. It is not a promise that a trade package is open. Some days may produce several relevant signals. Some may produce none.

Our origin

A friendship, a real problem, and the right partner.

Ethan and Gabe met freshman year at NC State and had long talked about building something together. While helping his mom make sense of public real-estate records, Ethan saw how difficult the research was. Privacy and do-not-call concerns also limited residential outreach. Those same sources held useful commercial-construction signals that could be organized automatically. Having watched Gabe succeed in sales and heard how energized he was by the work, Ethan knew Gabe's customer instincts made him the natural partner. Ethan's deep Wake County roots made the Triangle the natural place to start.

What is confirmed

Call, confirm, or monitor

A missing contractor in a public record is a reason to verify. It is not confirmation that a package is open. Records may be incomplete, delayed, or changed after the briefing is sent.

Start with a private sample

See the format. Then test it on a live week.

Founding pilots are set up manually so we can confirm the trade, service area, and project types before sending anything.

Launching with commercial electrical and HVAC/mechanical contractors using Raleigh and available Wake County public records. Coverage varies by municipality.

No app to learn. The product lands where estimators already work: their inbox.

Non-exclusive, point-in-time intelligence. Project status still needs to be confirmed directly with the project team.

Founder-led onboarding
