Why a permit is the earliest useful signal

By the time a job is on a jobs board the trades are already picked. A pulled permit is months earlier: the owner has committed the money, the drawings are stamped, and the schedule is being built. Nobody has called your trade yet.

That gap is the whole opportunity. Los Angeles issued 237 of them in this window, and each one names an address, a work type and the party who filed it. Reach the ones that will need you before the phone tree starts and you are not bidding against four other quotes.

Elsewhere in California

Where this comes from. Open permit records published by City of Los Angeles (Building & Safety). AEC Stack reads them daily, classifies the trades each job will need, and drops the jobs too large for a small contractor to bid.
