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. Toronto issued 2,145 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 Ontario

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

Chase them without losing track of them

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.
