Every new garage in your radius, while it’s still an opening.
In short
New houses, laneways, coach houses and detached garages: every one gets a door, and the builder picks the supplier long before the framing is done. PermitRadius sends you each permit the week it lands, with the builder behind it, so you’re the quote on the desk — not the third call. From CA$39 a month, no per-lead fees.

The city issues the permit
Every building permit is published as open data, usually the same day it’s issued. It carries the address, the value, the work type and often the builder.
- 02
We read it and tag what’s being built
Each morning we pull every new permit, scrub personal details, and read the description for the features that matter to you.

Three plays that win the job.
01
The framing-week quote
Call the builder the week the permit lands with a price for the opening size on the plans. Most decide the supplier before the slab.
Best for: new homes02
The builder account
Builders with 5+ permits a year buy doors in bulk. One account, a dozen doors a year.
Best for: repeat builders03
The move-in upgrade
Occupancy is when the standard builder door gets replaced with the one the owner actually wanted. Time your mailer to it.
Best for: dealers + showroomsToday’s permit is next quarter’s door order.
The opening size is on the drawings from day one. The supplier gets chosen months before install — be the number on the plans.

What garage door dealers and installers ask us.
How do you find the garages?
New-house permits almost always include a garage; permits that are only a garage, carport or coach house are kept too and tagged Garage in the permit text.
Can I see only detached garages and coach houses?
Yes. Filter by the Garage or Laneway chip, or watch for either one so they’re pinned to the top of your Wednesday list.
Which cities?
Vancouver, Surrey, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Victoria, with more added by permit volume.
Do I get homeowner contacts?
No. Site address, permit details and the builder company only.
