Leads From Planning Applications: Public Notices as a Job Pipeline for Trades
Tradespeople chase work once a homeowner is already comparing quotes. Watching planning applications gets them to building projects months ahead of rivals.
The service turns publicly available planning information β applications and notices β into sales signals for tradespeople and suppliers. Whoever is building a house will need floors, a kitchen, a fence, a garden and a removal van within months; the service collects these signals, sorts them by location and project stage and delivers them to subscribers regularly. The keys are the labour of collection, legally clean outreach guidance and per-trade, per-area exclusivity that makes the service worth keeping.
A tradesperson usually learns about a new build when the homeowner is already sending out enquiries β and then competes with ten others on price. Yet the trail starts months earlier and is public: planning applications are published for anyone to read. Established planning-data platforms do aggregate them β but they're priced for contractors and manufacturers, and nobody serves small trades with a cheap, local, exclusive digest.
π‘ Why it works
β°A head start money can't buy elsewhere
Planning runs months ahead of enquiries. Whoever knows about a project first arrives with an offer before the homeowner starts comparing β and often no contest ever happens.
