What is included?
Build Alerts watches new permit filings and organizes the owner, address, scope, jurisdiction, and available contact details into a practical daily list for contractors.
How quickly can I start?
Choose a sample, review the coverage for your city, and start a free trial when the list fits your work. There is no long-term commitment.
Who is it built for?
It is built for owner-operators and small trade businesses that win work by reaching property owners early and speaking directly about the project.
What if my city is not listed?
Contact us with the city and trade you need. Coverage requests help us prioritize the next jurisdictions to add.
Can I change my trade?
Yes. Your trade and city settings can follow the work you actually want, so the list stays useful instead of becoming another inbox of noise.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Plans are month to month and can be cancelled without a long-term contract. Existing subscribers can use the portal or contact support.
Build Alerts helps contractors turn fresh permit filings into first conversations with property owners. We keep the workflow direct, practical, and focused on the cities and trades you serve.
