NYC construction leads, graded and delivered daily.

What counts as a lead here

A construction lead on PermitPipeline is a real NYC job — an address, an owner or developer, a project type, and an estimated value — that was just filed with the Department of Buildings. It's either a new construction job, a major alteration, a demolition, or a trade permit (plumbing, electrical, mechanical, sprinkler, structural, demo).

We pull two data streams and join them so you see the full picture: the initial job filing (the project is proposed, often 2–6 weeks before a permit issues) and the permit (the job is greenlit and about to move dirt). GCs want the filings. Subs want the permits. We score both and send the right ones to the right contractor.

Who we build this for

General contractors

If you bid residential alterations, mid-market commercial, or ground-up — you want to reach the owner or developer before they pick a GC. The window is small and mostly hidden. We surface pre-issuance filings scored A+/A/B so you can get an intro in before the bid list closes. See the GC feed →

Subcontractors

If you do plumbing, electrical, mechanical, sprinkler, structural, or demolition work — you want to find newly-permitted jobs where the GC is known but the trade work is still open. We tag each lead with the likely trade needs based on project type and value, so you can focus on the jobs where you have the best shot. See the sub feed →

Why the grade matters

NYC files thousands of construction records every week. Most are noise — minor sidewalk sheds, boiler swaps, single-fixture plumbing updates. The signal is in the 5–10% of filings that represent a real, biddable job with a credit-worthy owner.

Our grade factors in project value, project type, filing status, and — for subs — whether the job size implies trade work you specifically bid. A value-ramp gives more weight to jobs in the $250K–$1M range (where a single GC or sub can still land the whole thing) and flattens above that (enterprise jobs usually have an existing bid list).
