Every trade with enough permit volume in San Diego to be worth watching. The count is how many of the 1,542 name that trade.
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. San Diego issued 1,542 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.
Track any job on this page into a pipeline, quote it, and send the invoice when it lands. No account needed to start, and the work you do before signing up stays yours when you do.
Licensing, certification and the paperwork that gets you on a bid list.
