The free coverage check, and what happens to your file
Pick your area, get every builder permitting there on the same page. No account, no card, nothing to upload. Add a customer list for the leak report; the file is deleted after it is read.
This guide is hands-on. Follow along in the app.
A free trial takes two minutes: 25 project views or 14 days, whichever comes first. No card.
The coverage check at /coverage-check is the Territory analysis with no sign-up and, since September 2026, no file either: pick your area and the report opens on the same page. It exists so a manager can see the builders and the numbers before deciding whether to talk to anyone.
- 1Pick where you sellA province, a region, or the municipalities your reps cover, from the same list the app offers, with the project count beside each. What you sell is optional; skip it and every dollar uses a broad building-supply assumption, which the report says under the headline.
- 2Read the reportEvery builder actively permitting in that area, ranked by your share of their work, with Filed in the last 90 days on so it reads as a call list; the map; and your area ranked by zone. About ten seconds.
- 3Add your customer list, if you wantCSV or Excel, straight out of your ERP, up to 24 MB. Account names are all it needs; column names and order do not matter. The report then shows which of those builders already buy from you, the work at your own customers with none of your jobs at the address if the file has addresses, and a real gap list of the rest. Not ready to use your own? Two sample workbooks (an Alberta branch and a Greater Vancouver branch) are on the page.
- 4Keep it, if you wantEverything above is already yours to read. Adding an email gets you a link back to it and the interactive version: the full list rather than the top fifty, every zone, the chat, drill-through to the permits, and the share editor. Still free, still no card.
What happens to your file
- Deleted, not stored. The file is read and then discarded. The account names it contained stay in the report you were shown.
- Nobody at BuildMapper browses it. It is never shown to another company, never mixed into a shared pool of data, and never sold.
- Only twelve rows leave. The first twelve rows go to the model that reads your column headings, under terms that forbid training on them. The rest is processed by BuildMapper's own code.
- One column is all it needs. Names. An address column adds the leak per address; a rep column adds a tab per rep.
Can it tell me who my competitors supplied?
No, and anyone who says they can is guessing. A permit names the builder, never the supplier. The report tells you which jobs you were not on, not who was.
Why does the number differ from the full Territory page?
The free check uses a blended share assumption unless you pick your product lines. In the app you also set your own share, and every figure recalculates. It is the same analysis engine either way; there is one, not two.
How current is it?
New permits land every Monday, and the report covers the last 12 months.
