The best way to look at a NewBuildLeads subscription is through the lens of ROI (Return on Investment).

If you or your sales team spent just 5 hours a week manually searching municipal websites, tracking down developers, and organizing spreadsheets, that would cost you roughly $400–$600 per month in labor alone. We provide that same intelligence—often in higher detail—for a fraction of that cost.

More importantly, in the construction space one single lead turning into a contract doesn't just pay for the subscription—it could pay for it for the next few years. If our data helps you get your foot in the door on one project that you otherwise would have missed, the service has paid for itself hundreds of times over.

Our goal is to turn your "research hours" into "bidding hours."

In the construction industry, timing is the difference between a contract and a "no-bid." Industry data shows that up to 80% of sub-contractor selections are finalized within the first 30-45 days of the initial permit filing. By the time a project is "common knowledge" or has a sign on the fence, the General Contractor has usually already picked their team. NewBuildLeads puts you in the room while the door is still open, giving you the First-Mover Advantage to get your bid in before the competition even knows the project exists.

We aren’t a "Phone Book" service; we are a Permit Intelligence service. We don't just sell you a list of 5,000 random contractors. We provide a curated report based on verified municipal filings. If a lead is in our report, it’s because a developer just handed a check to the City. The data is "fresh" because it’s tied to a legal document, not an old database we bought from someone else. It’s data we would use as Enterprise Business Development professionals.

Cold calling a developer and asking "got any work?" doesn't work. Our subscribers are successful because they use our data for contextual outreach. Instead of a cold call, you’re calling with a specific reason: "I see you just pulled the NB for the 4th Ave project—we’re finishing up a similar build nearby and wanted to get on your bid list for the structural steel." We provide the "Reason to Call," which is the hardest part of sales.

Yes. This is one of our greatest strengths. Unlike "Tender" sites that only show government jobs, we track private developments. Because every private developer must still file for municipal permits, we can alert you to new private plazas, condos, and industrial builds that never hit the public tender boards.

Most lead services focus on residential "handyman" jobs or projects that are already out for bid. NewBuildLeads focuses on upstream intelligence. We identify the major commercial and multi-residential developments before they hit the public bidding portals. We provide the "who" and the "where" so you can try to secure a spot on the preferred sub-contractor list long before a project goes to open tender. Essentially we aim to expand business in typically challenging areas.

Currently, our intelligence focus is on Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond in British Columbia, Canada. We monitor all major municipal planning departments within this zone to ensure our subscribers have a comprehensive view of the local development landscape. We also plan to expand beyond this scope.

Your report is delivered as a clean, structured data file. You can use it as a standalone tracker in Excel/Google Sheets, or import it directly into your CRM to assign leads to your sales team immediately.

Our intelligence is gathered through a multi-stage proprietary aggregation process. We utilize custom-built algorithms to monitor thousands of municipal data points, building permit registries, and urban planning records.

Once the raw data is captured, it undergoes a curation and verification phase where we filter for project valuation, permit status, and stakeholder relevance. We don't just "scrape" the web; we synthesize fragmented public records into a structured, actionable intelligence report. We do the hours of digital "detective work" so that our subscribers receive only the highest-probability leads.

Our reports focus on the "New Building Permit" filing stage. This is the "Sweet Spot" of construction intelligence. A permit filing typically happens 3 to 12 months before major "boots on the ground" activity. By identifying a project at the permit stage, you are catching the developer after they have committed to the build, but before the General Contractor has finalized their list of sub-contractors. This gives you a critical window to get your quote in and build a relationship while the project is still in the "pre-construction" phase.

We provide the intelligence (who is building and where), but we do not submit bids on your behalf. We provide the "opening" so that your sales team can reach out, request blueprints, or get added to the invitation-to-bid list.

Not at all. In fact, smaller firms often benefit the most. Large GCs already have their "inner circle" of subs. NewBuildLeads levels the playing field by giving you the same information the "big players" have, allowing you to bid on projects you would otherwise never hear about until the foundation is already poured.

No. We believe the value of our data speaks for itself. Our subscriptions are month-to-month, and you can cancel at any time through your Customer Account. We don't believe in "trapping" subscribers; we believe in providing so much value that you wouldn't want to miss a single week of reports.

Let’s be honest: not every city filing includes a direct cell phone number for the CEO. If a lead only provides the Company Name and the Applicant, we’ve still done 90% of the work for you. You now know exactly who is building, what they are building, and where. A 2-minute search on LinkedIn or their company website with that specific project name in hand will get you to the right person 10x faster than "blind" prospecting.

Because your network only tells you what they are working on—not what your future competitors or new out-of-town developers are planning.

The Vancouver market is changing fast. New investment firms and REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) are constantly entering the region, bringing in General Contractors you’ve never worked with before. If you only rely on your existing "Rolodex," you are essentially capping your company's growth at its current level.

NewBuildLeads acts as an early-warning system. We show you the new players entering the market before they establish their "preferred sub-contractor" lists. Even the most well-connected firms use our data to ensure they aren't being "blindsided" by major developments happening right in their own backyard.

Don't just maintain your network—expand it before the new guys find someone else.
