How to work this list

  • A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For roofers that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
  • Split the list. Housing permits you chase this week and win on being reachable; commercial ones you chase by finding the general contractor and getting on the bid list.
  • Track the ones you contact somewhere that will remind you, because the trade call on most of these lands one to four months after the permit is issued.
