Quick answer

How does PermitRadius work?

PermitRadius collects new building permits from BC municipal records every week, removes personal information, and matches each permit to your trade and service radius. Every Wednesday at 7 a.m. you get an email with the new builds near your yard, the builder behind each one, and a CSV. Plans start at CA$39 a month, locked in for life during early access.

01

The data

Straight from BC city records.

We read the building permits BC municipalities publish: open-data portals, weekly permit reports and daily lists. We keep the original record, the permit number and the link back to the source.

If a city asks us not to use its data for outreach, we don’t.

Filtering

Only the permits that turn into your kind of work.

Every trade has its own rule set: permit types, dwelling types and value thresholds. Landscaping keeps new homes, laneways, multiplexes and big renos. Plumbing and sign permits never make your list.

Mark jobs Won in the portal and the filter gets sharper.

03

Your radius

Draw the circle your crews actually drive.

Drop a pin on your yard and set how far you’ll go, from 5 to 40 km. We measure every permit from that point, so a job across the bridge doesn’t sneak onto your list.

04

The portal

Track it from permit to paid.

Every lead lands in your portal. Mark it Contacted, Quoted or Won, add a note, export a CSV, and on Crew, rank every builder by permits pulled this year.

Your Wednesday email links straight to it.

Privacy

Companies only. Never homeowners.

PermitRadius is built for business-to-business outreach. We strip personal information from every record before it reaches you, and we follow BC’s privacy law (PIPA) and Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL) in everything we send.
