Questions

How do building material suppliers use permit data?

Permits show which builders are starting jobs, where and how big. Suppliers use that to prioritize accounts, find new builders in their territory and time sales calls before materials are ordered.

Can I track a specific builder?

Yes. Follow any builder, owner or design firm and get alerted whenever they file a new permit or project registration.

How often is the data updated?

Every day, straight from city permit records and the state's TDLR project registry.

Does it cover commercial jobs too?

Yes: restaurant, retail, office, medical, industrial and multifamily projects, with square footage when the permit lists it.
