Built for trade subs, general contractors, architects and engineering firms
PermitGuv monitors fragmented public sources, identifies relevant trade opportunities, and delivers the ones worth pursuing. Each report is written for the seat you sit in, because the same filing means something different to a sub than it does to an architect. Software finds them. We verify them.
Reporting today in Connecticut and Tennessee, with additional markets available on request.
Not a permit dump — verified opportunities with the context an estimator needs to decide in thirty seconds.
Glastonbury, CT · $1,200,000
Commercial — Alteration / Fit-out · Issued Aug 19, 2026
Why it matters
New commercial fit-out with the building permit just issued — the GC is on record but the trade subs often aren't selected yet. Mechanical, electrical, and interior scope all still in play.

Knoxville, TN · $480,000
Commercial — Renovation · Issued Aug 21, 2026
Why it matters
Commercial occupancy with renovation scope at a project size worth an estimator's time, flagged before any trade permit was pulled against it. The permit names the applicant and a phone number.

Illustrative examples showing the format and level of detail of a real issue.
Public construction data is scattered across hundreds of municipal and procurement systems — every town publishes somewhere different. PermitGuv collapses them into one ranked list, so you stop clicking through portals and start choosing which jobs to pursue.
If you first hear about a project when the invitation to bid goes out, you're competing on price. Find it earlier and you can reach the GC or owner, get on the bidders list, and shape the conversation.

Planning-stage
A site plan, rezoning or subdivision in front of the planning commission, months to a year before anyone pulls a building permit. No general contractor has been chosen, so there is no bid list to be left off of yet.
Early opportunities
Work has been identified, but the public record doesn't show that your trade has been awarded. This is the opportunity to get in early.
Bid opportunities
Scope, due date, and procurement documents are available. PermitGuv identifies the bids relevant to your trade so you don't have to monitor procurement portals.
Planning-stage coverage depends on how a town publishes its board records, so it is deeper in some places than others. Ask what we track in your territory.
A filed site plan is the earliest a general contractor can reach an owner, and at the same moment it is proof that an architect has already been hired. Sending one report to both is how you tell an architect that work they lost is a lead. So you tell us who you are at signup, and what leads your report changes.
Trade subcontractor
Building permits first: the GC has the permit, and on many of these the mechanical, electrical and plumbing scopes are not bought out yet. Issued trade permits are filed under market intelligence, because that job is gone.
General contractor
Board applications first. The owner has a designer by then and usually not a builder, which makes it the earliest public moment you can introduce yourself. Each row names who filed.
Engineering firm
Development plans, subdivisions, site development permits and stormwater approvals lead, because those are your scope of work rather than a signal of it. Where a row already names an engineering firm, we say so.
Architect
Read as intelligence rather than a call list. By the time an application reaches a board, somebody has drawn it. The exception is a project announced with no case filed yet, and that is the part worth a call.
Developers, owners and suppliers get the neutral report. We would rather send that than pretend we have something written for you.
PermitGuv automatically collects, standardizes, and filters public project data. High-potential opportunities are reviewed before they're delivered.
STEP 1
PermitGuv gathers permit, project, and bid records from hundreds of fragmented public sources every night.
STEP 2
Every record lands in one consistent format, whatever system it came from.
STEP 3
Irrelevant and duplicate records are removed — residential noise, demolitions, refilings.
STEP 4
Relevant opportunities are scored on trade scope, project size, and timing.
STEP 5
A person confirms what ships. If an issue is thin, we say so instead of padding it.
Scored opportunities, each linking back to the source record so you can verify everything yourself.
Scope, valuation, permit type, occupancy, and dates — the context an estimator needs before committing time.
The applicant who filed, the contractor the portal names, the property owner, and a phone or email where one is printed. Knowing about a project early is worth little without knowing who is attached to it.
Open government solicitations with due dates surfaced ahead of time, not after they close.
Filings at the same address are stitched into one project history, so a site plan, its building permit, and the trade permits that follow read as one story instead of four rows. One project shows up once, even across three portals.
Every item carries its score and the reason it was flagged — and when an issue is thin, we say so.
A growing registry of licensed trade contractors puts your territory's activity in perspective.
Contact details come from what the portal itself publishes. Where a town prints nobody, the row says so rather than guessing.

PermitGuv reports on two markets today, built from municipal permitting portals, planning-board records, state and county filings, and federal procurement. Collection runs wider than reporting does: sources are configured in most states, and a market joins the list below once its coverage is deep enough to be worth paying for.

Your region next. Coverage requests move the queue, and we will tell you what we already track in your territory before you pay for anything.
A qualified opportunity is a project PermitGuv identifies as relevant to your role, service area, and project criteria — and confirms before delivery. Every record that survives filtering is scored on the factors that predict whether it's worth an estimator's time; a person confirms the score before it ships. What counts as qualified moves with your seat: a filing an architect reads as a job already let is the same filing a GC can still win.
Tell us the seat you sit in and the towns you work. We build the first report by hand and send it. No card, no login, no subscription to cancel.
Coverage is not uniform and we will say so before you rely on it. Some towns publish the contractor on every permit and some publish none, so the first thing we do with your territory is tell you which kind yours is.
