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

Contact owners of expired permits — they may be stuck and selling.

Seattle Plumbing Permits

Find active plumbing permits in Seattle. Plumbing permits include new construction rough-ins, repipes, water heater replacements, sewer line work, and commercial fixture upgrades. Every permit is a confirmed project with funding already approved.

In Seattle, plumbing permits are particularly valuable on new construction and addition projects because rough-in must be completed before slab and framing. Plumbers who reach out early — often before the general contractor has hired all subs — can secure the full build contract instead of competing for scraps.

Seattle's ADU boom and tech-sector growth have created sustained demand for plumbing work across King County. The rainy climate makes timing critical — property owners with active permits typically want work started quickly, giving responsive contractors an edge.

Seattle's ADU legislation has created a surge of smaller-scale plumbing jobs — every accessory dwelling unit needs its own kitchen and bathroom rough-in. The city's aging sewer infrastructure also drives replacement permits in older neighborhoods.
