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 Electrical Permits

Find active electrical permits in San Francisco. Electrical permits cover panel upgrades, new construction wiring, commercial tenant improvements, and service changes. Electrical work is required on nearly every construction project, which creates a consistent pipeline of leads.

Electrical permits in San Francisco often show up before other trade permits, especially on new construction and major additions. Electricians who monitor the permit feed can contact general contractors while the project is still in the sub-selection phase, rather than competing against ten bidders on a public plan room.

San Francisco's complex seismic codes and density restrictions mean electrical projects that do get permitted are typically high-value and carefully scoped. The permit data includes estimated costs that help electrical contractors prioritize the most lucrative opportunities.

San Francisco's seismic retrofit requirements drive electrical permit volume as older buildings upgrade panels and wiring to meet current codes. The city's tech-sector growth also creates commercial tenant improvement permits with fast timelines and high budgets.
