Every framing package in your area, before the takeoff goes out for pricing.
BuildMapper reads every new permit in BC, Alberta and Ottawa, shows your reps which builds are about to frame, and hands each one a builder to call with the intro drafted. The pipeline updates itself from their texts.
When your products get bought.
A permit tells you a project exists. It doesn't tell you the part that decides the deal: when the buying happens. Every build has a different right moment for what you sell, and BuildMapper flags each one when it's your time to call, not when the permit was filed.
Framing · Weeks 4 to 9 after the permit. The framing package is priced from the plans while the foundation is going in, and trusses are designed even earlier. A rep who calls at excavation is bidding the package. A rep who calls at framing is asking who got it.
Three things every lumber & building materials sales manager says.
These are the three problems BuildMapper was built to solve.
“We hear about the framing job after it's framed.”
A yard finds out about a build when a framer walks in with a list, or when the competitor's truck drives past. By then the package was priced weeks ago and the trusses are on order somewhere else.
“We sell to 400 builders and I still can't tell you who we're missing.”
Your top accounts are at the counter every day. The builders pulling permits ten minutes away who never come in are invisible, and nobody has the hours to go find them.
“My outside reps won't update anything.”
So the forecast is whatever they remember on Friday. Every framing quote is in someone's truck or sent folder, and the day a rep leaves, so does their pipeline.
Every active job site. Scored for what you sell.
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 the build is worth, what stage it's at, and who's behind it. Scored for lumber & building materials, so the builds that need you sit on top.
Find the builders you're missing.
Upload your customer list, and BuildMapper checks it against every permit pulled in your area. Back comes the list of builders building right now who aren't on your list, ranked by how well they fit lumber & building materials, with your share in dollars 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 built from your own list and your own product lines, never from a market average.
A morning with Scout on a lumber & building materials team.
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 builds that will need lumber & building materials, before your competitors notice.
Not a list to wade through: one builder to call, what it's worth to you, 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, 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.
Every tool on the account, for lumber & building materials.
One login, one customer record. Reps get the map, their pipeline and Scout. Managers get the team view on top. Here is what each one does for what you sell.
Every build near your yard, sorted by when it frames
A permit says a house is coming. The map says which ones are three weeks from framing, what the build is worth and who the builder is, so a rep plans a route past the sites about to order, not the ones already sheathed.
See Permit Map
Know the moment your accounts pull a permit
Add your top accounts. The day one pulls a permit anywhere you deliver, their rep hears first, with the builder's history attached. Your best customer should never frame a house on someone else's lumber because nobody knew.

The builders who never come to the counter
Upload your customer list. BuildMapper checks it against every permit in your delivery area and shows the builders building right now who aren't on it, ranked by fit, with the framing package's share of each build in dollars. Jobs you weren't on, never "lost".

One builder to call, every morning, by text
Scout reads the new permits overnight and texts each rep the best one: a builder about to frame, why it fits, the contact and a drafted intro. No app to open. The rep changes a word and sends it from their own phone.
See Scout on your phone
Monday's permits, sorted by rep
Each week's new permits arrive grouped by the rep who should work them: the rep who already sells to that builder, otherwise the rep who covers that area. Every suggestion shows its reason. You approve the week in one click.

Framing quotes tracked from a text
"Quoted the package, 62k" becomes a stage and a value on the lead. You see every open quote across the team without asking anyone, and it's still there the day a rep leaves.

Your price list, answered from a driveway
Load your price sheets and spec sheets once. A rep asks "cost and list on 2x10 SPF #2, 16 foot" from a job site and gets your number, your margin and the file it came from.
See Product Brain
Takeoffs from the plans
Upload the plan set. Quotes reads it for measurements and drafts the line items, so your estimator starts from a list instead of a blank page. The quote is accepted online and lands on the lead.
See QuotesYou see everything. Your reps type nothing.
Every rep's deals in one place: 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.
Send leads to Salesforce, use the API and webhooks, or take a weekly report. ERP Connect reads your accounts and order history, read-only, so Scout knows your customers. It never writes to your ERP.
Your whole price list, answerable from a driveway.
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 teams already selling with BuildMapper.
Supply yards, appliance and material dealers across BC run BuildMapper as the first call of their morning.
Do the math on your whole team.
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.
