Different sales motions
Different tools for different parts of the sales motion.
Construction Monitor may help with its specific data or workflow lane. PermitPub is built for the moment a public record says someone is building, opening, remodeling, licensing, or spending money in a market.
| Question | Construction Monitor | PermitPub |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Construction Monitor | Fresh public-record event: permit, license, opening, buildout, or local market signal. |
| Main buyer | Contractors, suppliers, and service providers tied to construction activity. | Street reps, territory sellers, contractors, merchant-services reps, and local B2B teams. |
| Primary data | Building permit data for construction projects and prospects. | Buyable permit and license lead records, market inventory, sales angles, and locked paid details. |
| Alert/search workflow | Permit lead discovery and monitoring. | Plain-English search, lead views, market filters, CSV export, and paid unlocks. |
| API or export | Public research did not confirm a self-serve API. | CSV and custom public data feeds. Full API-style needs can be quoted as custom feeds. |
| Pricing transparency | Pricing was not confirmed in the captured public evidence. | Transparent Live Lead Inventory, monthly plans, and custom feed pricing. |
| Best-fit use case | Teams that already buy traditional construction permit monitoring. | Finding fresh local sales triggers that a rep can work quickly. |
PermitPub advantage
Where PermitPub is built to win.
PermitPub does not ask a rep to start with a cold list and guess who might care. It starts with a fresh public-record signal and turns that into something a seller can work.
Pick the records
PermitPub lets buyers search live inventory and choose the permit or license signals worth buying.
Beyond contractor leads
Lead views can support merchant services, retail openings, clinics, home services, commercial buildouts, and more.
Transparent buying path
Live Lead Inventory, monthly access, and custom feeds give reps a clear way to test a market.
When to start here
Start with PermitPub when the rep needs a reason to move now.
The stronger the signal, the easier it is to decide where to spend the next hour. That is the lane PermitPub is built for.
PermitPub helps reps find the address, project signal, and market context behind a current public-record event.
You want transparent per-lead, pack, and monthly access with exact records unlocked after purchase.

Better starting signal
The best sales workflow starts with a reason, not a random name.
