Connections

Connections. Know when your builders pull again.

Connections keeps track of the GCs and developers you know. Add a builder to your watchlist and when they pull a new permit, you hear about it first: scored, researched, and ready to call.

Why it matters

Your best leads are builders you already know.

Repeat business is the fastest close
A builder you've worked with before already trusts your work. When they pull another permit, you should be the first call, not one of five bids.
You can't watch every permit yourself
BuildMapper watches for you. When a builder you follow shows up on a new permit, you get told. You don't have to scan the whole feed.
Relationships boost every permit's score
Builders on your watchlist give their permits a score boost. That can push a lead into HOT or WARM before you even open it.
01 · Scoring integration

Watched builders auto-HOT.

Add a company to your watchlist and every permit they pull from then on gets a score boost. Won 5+ jobs with them? Every new permit goes straight to HOT, no matter what else the score says. Your track record with a builder is the strongest signal there is.

  • +4 pts
    Relationship score for any watchlisted builder on a permit
  • Auto-HOT
    5+ closed-won deals with a builder → every new permit goes HOT
  • +8 pts
    Builder already in your active pipeline (additional boost)
  • +18 pts
    Previous closed-won deal with this specific builder

03 · Contacts

Know who to call. Before you call.

When Scout digs into a permit from a builder you watch, the contacts it finds get saved to the company profile for good, not just to that one lead. The whole team has them the next time that builder pulls.

  • Contacts save to the company and are shared with your whole team
  • Scout's confidence rating (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW) stays on record
  • The source link is always shown: check it with one click
  • One-tap call or email from the contact card on any device
  • Add your own contacts too, for whatever Scout didn't find

How it works

Watch once. Keep winning.

01
Find a builder
Search by company name from the Connections page, or add to your watchlist right from a map pin or pipeline card.
02
Add to watchlist
One click. Now you'll see every permit that company pulls across your provinces.
03
The boost kicks in
Every new permit from this builder gets a +4 relationship score boost, enough to shift a borderline lead.
04
New permit, you know first
When they pull, it lands in your Scout inbox and on the map, already HOT or WARM if it scores out.
05
Make the first call
You get there first. Open Scout, run a Deep Dive, draft the intro email. Done before they know you're coming.
