Austin names the electrician on a job once one pulls an electrical permit. Until then, the builder is still deciding. Fortific checks every sub-permit on every new build, pool and interior remodel, and sends you only the jobs where no electrician has filed.

Interior remodel and roof extension to main house with partial demolition.
Every electrical permit list is a list of electricians who already won. You can't bid what's been awarded.
Electrical is hired before framing is done. Hear about it at drywall and it's gone.
One-off repairs keep trucks moving. New construction and remodels fill the schedule for weeks.
If any electrician has filed on the job, at any date, it's not a lead. You only see open jobs.
Only jobs whose building permit is young enough that rough-in hasn't been awarded.
New pools need bonding, lighting and pump circuits. Interior remodels need rewiring. Both included when no electrician is on file.

Austin publishes every permit it issues. We pull the full feed each morning, so nothing slips past.
Each permit is decoded into plain English and checked against every sub-permit on the job, so we know which contractors are named and which trades it still needs.

Permit lists sort by the trade on the permit, which is the one trade the job doesn’t need. Fortific sorts by the trades it still has to hire.

Austin files each trade on a job as a sub-permit: BP for building, EP for electrical, MP for mechanical, PP for plumbing. We check every sub-permit for the job, at any date. If there's an EP, it's not your lead.
Often. But they haven't filed yet, so the job is still open, and many smaller builders and remodelers price each job. Calling before the EP is filed is the only time you can win it.
No. Service upgrades and EV chargers are sent to solar companies as leads, because an electrician already did that work.
Every lead comes straight from a permit the city issued, checked against every sub-permit on the same job, so we know who's already named. The "why" line tells you exactly which rule made it a lead. The job value and contractor phone are whatever the city recorded; when the city left them blank, so do we.
No phone numbers. Most leads are the contractor running the job, with their phone when the city lists it, which is most of the time. For work that follows a job, like a fence after a new pool, you get the owner of record and their mailing address from the Travis Central Appraisal District's public tax roll, ready for a mailer, plus whether they live there and when they bought. Owners who've had the appraisal district keep their records confidential are never included.
Most lists sort permits by the trade on the permit, so a roofer gets a list of roofs other roofers already sold. We sort by the trades the job still needs. We check every sub-permit filed for the job so we never send you one where your trade is already named, and every lead says in one line why it's yours.
Yes. Building permits and the appraisal roll are public records, and calling a contractor about work on their job is ordinary business. Owner records are for mail outreach only, which you agree to in our terms, and we remove any owner who asks. You're responsible for following do-not-call and anti-solicitation rules where they apply.
