Built for Contractors

Who Uses This — and How

Real workflows, not marketing fluff.

❄️
HVAC Contractors
Filter by Mechanical permits and size quotes to sqft. Active permits mean the GC is staffing now.
Book installs before the drywall crew arrives.
Electricians
Electrical permits show up early in the cycle. Contact the GC before rough-in is scheduled.
Get panel and rough-in work locked in first.
🏠
Roofers
Roofing permits are fast-turnaround. Most owners haven't picked a roofer when the permit is issued.
Close in days, not weeks — the budget is already approved.
🔧
Plumbers
New construction and addition permits need rough-in before slab. Be first to the site walk.
Secure the full build contract, not just the service call.
🏗️
General Contractors
See every active permit in your market. Some owners pull permits before hiring a GC.
Pitch before the owner gets 3 other bids.
🛠️
Specialty Trades
Solar, pool, flooring, fire suppression — filter by project type and jump on niche jobs.
Less competition, higher margins on specialized work.
📦
Material Suppliers
Track high-value new construction and commercial projects. Sell before the contractor buys elsewhere.
Be the quoted supplier before bids go out.
🏢
Real Estate Investors
Find stalled or recently-issued permits on distressed properties. Off-market deal intelligence.
Contact owners of expired permits — they may be stuck and selling.

San Francisco Building Permits

San Francisco's building permit environment is among the most complex in the country, with strict seismic codes, density restrictions, and a lengthy review process. However, the projects that do get permitted are often high-value. Our San Francisco database tracks permits from the city's Department of Building Inspection.

Because of the city's stringent requirements, permits in San Francisco often include detailed project scopes and higher estimated costs than other markets. This makes SF permits especially valuable for general contractors, developers, and specialty trades working on custom residential or commercial projects.

Neighborhoods like SOMA, the Mission, and Pacific Heights see consistent permit activity. Many San Francisco property owners pull permits for renovations before selecting a contractor, creating a window where early outreach can secure the job before public bidding begins.
