You're always one phone call too late.
You hear about it too late
By the time a job site shows up on your radar, the GC's sub list is already set. The early bird captures the contract.
Cold calls with no context
You're dialling blindly — wrong trade stage, wrong builder, wrong timing. Every wasted call is margin you'll never get back.
No system to manage it all
Leads live in your head, a spreadsheet, or sticky notes. Reps chase the same jobs, drop the ball on follow-ups, and nobody knows who owns what.
Four surfaces. One unfair advantage.
Your trade. Your window. Every hot permit.
BuildMapper ingests permits across BC, AB, and ON the same day they're filed and scores each one against your trade's timing window. Roofing? You see the permit at framing. Electrical? You're flagged at permit pull, before rough-in. You're always first.
Research done before you pick up the phone.
Ask Scout who owns the project, which GC is running it, what they've built before, and how to position your pitch. Scout drafts your first email and surfaces the five leads that need your attention this morning.
Your roofing window: week 10–14.
The whole crew, one board.
Kanban with five stages — New / Contacted / Quoted / Won / Lost — with assignments, leaderboards, and a 'next best action' chip on every card. No more duplicate calls. No more dropped leads.
Track your best builders. Never miss a pull.
Add a GC or builder to your Watchlist. The moment they pull a permit in your territory, you're notified — before anyone else even knows the job exists.
Contractors are closing deals. Here's the proof.
Wespac Mechanical grew their contract volume 135% year-over-year after adopting BuildMapper to track mechanical permit pulls across the Lower Mainland.
2000 Plus Insulation closed $200,000 in new business within their first 30 days — by catching insulation-phase permits before competing subs were even called.
