What's in every daily email

Every permit, with the details you need to reach out

Each permit is a job someone is about to pay for. You get it the morning after the city issues it, while there's still time to get in first.

Address & ZIP

Where the work is happening.

Property owner

Who owns the building, often an LLC or developer.

Contractor

The company that pulled the permit.

Scope of work

What they're building, from the permit itself.

Category & sector

New build, demo, renovation, roofing or change of use. Residential or commercial.

Spreadsheet

The full list as a CSV you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Who uses it

Built for businesses that sell to job sites

Dumpster rental & junk removal

Demolition and renovation permits mean debris. Call the contractor before the first wall comes down.

Roofing, HVAC & subcontractors

Roofing permits and major renovations show where work is starting and which GCs are busy.

Building supply & lumber

New construction and additions need materials. Get in front of the buyer early.

Commercial insurance

New structures and changes of use need new coverage. Every one is a policy conversation.

How it works

From City Hall to your inbox

  1. The city issues permits

    Philadelphia's Department of Licenses & Inspections publishes every permit it issues as public data.

  2. We sort them

    Every morning we pull the permits issued the day before, drop the small stuff and sort the rest into five lead types.

  3. You get the list each morning

    The list lands in your inbox every weekday morning with a spreadsheet attached. Monday's covers the weekend. Start calling before lunch.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

Public permit records from the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections. We collect them, clean them up and sort them every weekday morning.

Do you include phone numbers or emails?

No. The city publishes names, not contact details. You get the owner and contractor names, which are easy to look up.

Which areas do you cover?

The City of Philadelphia only, for now.

How do I cancel?
