You're losing jobs to contractors who heard first.

By the time a project shows up on Dodge or you hear about it through a rep, three other GCs have already been on-site. Most lead services sell the same list to everyone, months after the opportunity is cold.

✕

Lead lists are stale

Services like Dodge show projects 30–90 days after filing. A GC was already hired weeks ago.

✕

Cold calling wastes time

Driving past job sites and chatting with supers doesn't scale.

✕

HomeAdvisor-style leads are garbage

Price-shoppers and small jobs mean a race to the bottom.

How PermitPipeline works

We watch NYC's Department of Buildings filing system 24/7. The moment an architect or engineer files plans for a project — before any GC is hired — we grade the lead and send it to you.

1

We watch the filings

NYC DOB NOW publishes every construction filing. We pull the data every few hours, 24/7, across all five boroughs.

2

We grade every lead

Our scoring model rates each project A+ / A / B on project size, permit stage, ownership type, and GC-readiness. Only the top 18% make it to your feed.

You get them first

Daily email digest at 7am. Full project data, owner name, address, filing status, estimated value. Reach out before the competition does.

Here's what a typical morning looks like

Why trust this feed

How leads are scored

Every NYC DOB NOW filing is scored on 5 signals against a 230-point scale. A+ leads hit the top of the scale. We show the math so you know what you're paying for.

  • Filing type — new building & major alterations score higher than cosmetic work
  • No GC of record yet score higher than if a contractor's already hired
  • Project value — $500k+ scores higher than a $20k renovation
  • Owner type — commercial/institutional owners score higher than individual homeowners
  • Architect profile — licensed RA/PE filings score higher than owner-filed

Data sourced directly from the public NYC DOB NOW dataset. Updated daily.

Who's behind this

With over 25 years of construction management experience, we built PermitPipeline after years of watching good projects slip away to GCs who heard first — often just because they knew someone at the DOB or got lucky driving past a job site. PermitPipeline fixes that. We're your insider to know what's being built.

  • Runs on public NYC DOB NOW data — no scraping, no grey-area sourcing
  • US-based, secure Stripe-processed billing, no long-term contracts
  • 14-day free trial so you can verify the leads yourself before paying

Questions

Where does this data come from?
NYC Department of Buildings publishes every construction filing through its DOB NOW system. The raw data is public. What we do is watch it 24/7, filter to projects where no GC is hired yet, grade each lead on 5+ quality signals, and deliver the good ones to your inbox.
How is this different from Dodge or ConstructConnect?
Dodge shows projects after they're in the pipeline — often 30 to 90 days after filing, when a GC has typically already been chosen. We focus exclusively on the pre-GC moment: plans are filed, approved, but no contractor is listed. That's when a GC can actually win the job.
What does a "lead" include?
Project address, borough, filing type (new building, major alteration, etc.), filing status, estimated project value, owner name, filing date, and a direct link to the NYC DOB record. Enough to know whether the project is worth pursuing and who to reach out to.
Do you contact the property owners for us?
No. You do. We give you the data — you decide how to pursue it. Typical play: mail a capabilities packet to the owner, or cold-email the architect of record.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. One click in your account. No phone calls, no "retention specialists." Prorated refund on the current month.
Is this legal? Is permit data public?
Yes. NYC permit filings are public record under New York's Freedom of Information Law. We pull from NYC's official DOB NOW API.
