BuildMapper maps every active construction project around you, tells each rep who to call and when, and keeps your pipeline up to date on its own — so your team sells more without working more hours.
Steps 1 and 2 are yours, and they take an afternoon. Step 3 is your reps’ entire job in BuildMapper — reading a text. Step 4 happens on its own.
Your customer list and your area. BuildMapper brings the permits — every new one in BC, Alberta and Ottawa, usually within a day of filing.
Every active job site on a map, scored for what you sell — plus the builders who are building right now without you.
Every morning, each rep gets the best builder to call, why it’s a fit, and a drafted intro. No app, no login, nothing to learn.
“Quoted it.” “Won it.” A rep’s reply updates the board. You see every deal without chasing anyone on a Friday afternoon.
These are the three problems BuildMapper was built to solve.
When they’re busy selling, prospecting stops. Six weeks later the pipeline is empty and everyone scrambles. You can see the cycle coming and still not break it — the only fix is hours your reps don’t have.
So you manage blind — chasing updates in the truck, in the hallway, on Friday afternoon. Every forecast you give your own boss is built on whatever people remember.
You know your top accounts. You don’t know which builders in your area have never bought from you, or what that’s worth. Nobody can tell you, so the number stays a feeling.
BuildMapper reads every permit in your area and turns it into a map a rep can plan a day around: what’s being built, what it’s worth, what stage it’s at, and who’s behind it. No more driving past empty lots hoping something’s happening.
Add your top accounts and the builders you want to win. The moment one of them pulls a permit — anywhere we cover — the rep who owns them knows first, with the builder’s full history attached. Your best customer should never break ground without you hearing about it.
Permits land in BuildMapper within a day of filing, straight from each city’s own records — 80,000+ tracked across BC, Alberta and Ottawa, with US cities on the way. Last twelve months, around Greater Vancouver:
Upload your customer list, and BuildMapper checks it against every permit pulled in your area. Back comes the list of builders who are building right now with no relationship to you — ranked by how well they fit what you sell, with a dollar figure on each.
“You named 420 builders. There are 371 actively building in your area right now. Here are the 353 you didn’t name, ranked by opportunity.”
That team had sold to 420 builders over the years — and still didn’t know most of the ones active around them today. Your numbers will be different, because everything is computed from your own list and your own product lines, never from a market average.
This is everything BuildMapper asks of a rep: read a text, tap send, reply when something happens. Same morning, every rep on the team.
Overnight, Scout read every new permit in your area and picked out the projects that will need your product — before your competitors are paying attention.
Not a list to wade through — one builder to call, what the job is worth, why it fits this rep, and the contact. Your newest hire gets the same quality of lead as your best rep.
Stops come back as a route, not a scatter of pins. Four worthwhile sites, 38 km, in order — instead of a morning of driving past lots where nothing is happening.
Scout writes the opener in your rep’s voice, mentioning the permit. The rep reads it, changes a word, and sends it from their own phone. Every message a customer sees comes from your rep — never from a bot.
Rep texts back “won it.” Scout logs it, updates the pipeline, and learns what this rep wins so tomorrow’s lead is better. Nobody typed into a CRM today.
A permit tells you a project exists. It doesn’t tell you the part that decides the deal: when the buying happens. Every project has a different right moment depending on what you sell — and BuildMapper flags each one when your window opens, not when the permit was filed.
Suppliers get flagged about two weeks before each stage. Materials are chosen and ordered before the trade shows up on site — so your rep gets there while the order is still being decided, not after the truck has been booked.
None of these is a motivation problem, and none of them goes away with one more rep.
They don’t know which builders are active or who’s worth a call, so you ride along, or you wait. With BuildMapper they get the territory on day one — every active site, the builder behind it, and the same morning lead your best rep gets.
It lived in their head, their phone and their sent folder. Here, every lead, stage, dollar value and next step is written to your company’s record as the rep works — so their replacement opens a board that’s already current.
Your top performer has a routine nobody else can copy, because it isn’t a skill — it’s hours. Scout gives the whole team the same 7:30 AM start: one good lead, the right contact, a draft ready to send. You stop managing effort and start managing results.
Ask your reps how much of last week was actually selling. The rest went to finding out what’s being built, deciding who to call, and writing down what happened — three jobs BuildMapper now does for them.
Every rep’s deals on one board — stages, dollar values, next steps — kept current by the texts they already send. You get the team view. Your reps never open a CRM.
And it stays current when a rep is slammed, when a rep is on vacation, and on the day a rep quits — the record belongs to your company, not to someone’s phone.
Each week’s new permits show up grouped by the rep who should work them — the one who owns the account first, then whose area it is, then who’s worked that builder before. Every suggestion shows its reason, and you assign a rep’s whole week in one click. Nothing goes out without you.
Push leads into Salesforce, wire your own systems up with the API and webhooks, or just take a weekly report you can forward to your owner. ERP Connect reads your Prophet 21 accounts and order history so Scout knows your customers — it never writes to your ERP.
Load your price lists and spec sheets once. Then any rep can ask a product question in plain English — in the app, or by text from a job site — and get a real number, with the file it came from. It only ever answers from your own documents.
Supply yards, appliance and material dealers, and trade crews across BC run BuildMapper as the first call of their morning.
Scout adds 20–30% more selling capacity to every rep — not by making anyone work harder, but by deleting the hours between “a project exists” and “my rep is talking to the builder.” Use the conservative 25% and your own numbers.
Then you’re ahead. A data feed still leaves the hard part to your reps: which projects matter, when to move, who to contact, what to say. BuildMapper does that part — and you can import the feed you already pay for, which gives you better coverage than either source alone.
There’s nothing to adopt. No new app, no login, no new habit. If a rep can reply to a text, they’re fully trained. The reps who resist software hardest tend to like Scout most, because it asks nothing of them — and if one wants it off, we turn it off.
It never does. Scout works behind your rep — it finds the lead, does the research, drafts the message and sets the reminder. Your rep reviews and sends every customer touch from their own phone or inbox. Your company’s voice stays human; it just shows up earlier and more often.
Your customer list is used for one thing: matching builders in your area to your accounts. It’s never shared with anyone, your reps’ contacts stay theirs, and if you ever leave, your data goes with you.
