Framing is never on an Austin permit, so the builder still has to line up a crew, and they do it fast. Fortific sends you every new home, addition and commercial building the morning after it's permitted, while the slab is still curing.

Addition of mud room to existing residence.
It's the first big trade after the slab. If you hear about a job from the drywall guy, the frame is already up.
One builder slows down and your crew is on the bench. You need a steady list of who's starting next.
Builders call who they know. The only way in is to call them first, with a price per square foot.
Every lead's building permit is under 60 days old. Older jobs are already framed, so we don't send them.
Additions are where small builders struggle to find framers. They're in the feed too.
Company name and phone on every lead where the city lists it, plus the job value so you can size the crew.

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.
Only new builds and additions permitted in the last 60 days, in your ZIP codes, each with the builder's phone, before the frame goes up.

Framing is hired early. A job whose building permit is older than 60 days is almost always framed already, so sending it would waste your call.
Yes. New commercial buildings and additions are included. Set a minimum job value to focus on larger work.
The trade is "Framing & carpentry", so you get every new build and addition. Finish carpenters use the same leads to meet builders early.
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.
