Questions

How do I find construction projects to bid on in Texas?

Building permits and state project registrations are public record. groundranger collects City of Houston, Dallas and Austin permits plus TDLR project registrations statewide every day, and lets you filter new projects by type, size and location, so you see jobs the morning they're filed.

Are Texas building permits public?

Yes. City permit filings and state TDLR project registrations, including the address, scope of work and square footage, are public records. We organize them by address and project.

How early can I see a project?

Permits appear the day after a city issues them. Commercial projects over $50,000 are registered with TDLR, often before construction starts, and in Houston subdivision plats show up months before the first building permit.

Which trades is this useful for?

General contractors, MEP and fire protection subs, interior finish trades, roofing, pools, solar, signage and residential remodelers all use permit data to find work.

How is this different from a city's permit search?

City portals show individual records, one city at a time. groundranger connects city permits and state registrations at each address across Texas, translates the codes into plain English, and sends you new matches automatically.
