Builder lookup FAQ

Builders and permits, answered.

How are builders ranked?

By the number of building permits listing the company as builder or contractor in the last 12 months, in the city you pick. Ties are broken by the most recent permit.

Why don’t I see some names?

We only show companies. When a permit lists a person, such as an owner-builder, we leave the name out, in line with BC privacy law.

Can I see every builder in my area?

The free list shows the top 10 per city. PermitRadius members get every builder in their radius, ranked, with their newest permits each Wednesday.

My company is listed wrong. Can you fix it?

Names come from the City’s permit records. Write to data@permitradius.ca and we’ll merge spellings or correct obvious errors.

How often is it updated?

Every morning, as new permits appear in each city’s open data.
