How it works
STEP 01
Pick your city, your trade, and the ZIP codes you actually work in. Fence, pool, roofing, HVAC — or all of them.
STEP 02
Every morning we read the city's free public open-data portal and tag each permit by trade, so you only see the jobs you can do.
STEP 03
One email, every morning, with the new permits in your area — address, scope, value, and a link back to the city record. Same time, every day.

Pricing

Month to month. Cancel anytime.
$149/month
Month to month. Cancel anytime.
Free sample: the real digest, no card. 30-day full-refund guarantee. One subscriber per ZIP + trade territory.
Need more room? Each ZIP past five is +$49/month. A second trade on your account is +$49/month — it runs as its own workspace, with its own exclusive ZIPs.
Try the alerts for 30 days. If they don't help you find work, tell us and we refund the full month — no forms, no exit interview. A filed permit shows where money is about to be spent; it can't promise the work lands with you, and we'd rather refund you than keep a subscriber the product isn't helping.
Simple terms
Every bundle is built around a single trade — yours — across the ZIPs you pick. You never pay for permits outside the work you actually do.
Every plan runs month to month. Cancel in a couple of clicks and your alerts keep arriving until the end of the period already paid for — access is never cut off early.
A permit means money is moving on your trade in your ZIP — that's the opening. Volume swings with each city's building pace, and turning an opening into a signed job is still your follow-up. We don't guarantee work; we make sure you see it first.
The problem
The jobs are public. Getting to them before anyone else is the hard part.
City permit portals are built for clerks, not contractors. Hundreds of rows, codes instead of trades, no filter for the ZIP codes you actually work in.
By the time you scroll the portal on a Sunday night, the good jobs already have a contractor. The permit was issued on Tuesday — you just didn't see it.
Word of mouth is great until it's quiet. You can't refer your way to a full calendar, and you can't refer your way into a neighbourhood that's building right now.
One city has five portals. Your trade spans three towns. Nobody watches all of them for you — so most of the market passes by unnoticed.
What trades do with it
The digest tells you where the money is moving. What you do with that is the trade.
USE 01
See the job the day the permit lands: the address, the scope, the project value, and the city record behind it.
USE 02
The builder is named on the permit where the city publishes it. Know who to call — or who to sub for.
USE 03
A permit on one house means the neighbours are thinking about the same work. Knock while it's fresh.
Straight talk: a permit is the starting gun, not the finish line. The owner may already have a contractor — or be doing the work themselves. What it proves is that someone near you is spending on your trade this week.
The math
One extra job pays for the whole year. A single job the digest finds for you — one you'd have missed scrolling portals — covers a year from $99 a month for 3 ZIPs.
Daily alerts — every city, every trade, every morning
1 extra job covers twelve months

Not just for GCs
The digest isn't only for the contractor chasing the job. It's for everyone who sells to the job.

Builder names come from the permit itself, where the city publishes them — Chicago names the general contractor on most permits; Los Angeles publishes no contractor field; Minneapolis publishes no ZIP, so we derive it from the property address.
