Every day, thousands of building permits, inspections, and violations are filed across major US cities. That data is public — but it's buried across dozens of city websites and clunky portals. By the time most contractors find it, the opportunity is already gone.
Signals pulls from every source automatically and delivers the results to you in minutes, not days. The contractor who shows up first wins the job.
We don't hide leads — we just get them to you faster than anyone else.
Our scrapers pull directly from official city databases every 10 minutes. No third-party aggregators, no stale data—just fresh permit filings, inspection results, and violation notices.
Tell us your trade and where you work. We match incoming data against your criteria so you only see opportunities that matter to you.
When a permit, inspection, or violation matches your criteria, you get notified immediately. No checking dashboards—opportunities come to you.
