Talk to the right person

A name on a permit isn’t enough. You need the person who signs the check. Wrong number? Wasted day. That’s why we find real phone numbers and emails.

Homeowner?

We run a skip trace. You get a phone and email for the owner.

A company?

We check Sunbiz for who runs it, then find the boss or project manager.

Nothing found?

You don’t pay. A credit is only used when we find a real phone or email.

Lookups cost credits. Plans come with 25 or 100 a month. Extra credits are $1 each, 10 at a time. We can’t find everyone.

Real permits. Your next call.

These three permits are in our app. Here’s how each one could turn into a bid, an order or a job.

Miami-Dade County records, checked Oct 27, 2026. Names, addresses, permit numbers and contact details are hidden. Values are rounded permit estimates—not money left to spend.

Real permit · Miami-Dade County

A new home. No contractor listed.

Work listed
New single-family home
Issued
Oct 23, 2026
Permit value
About $830,000
Who’s on the job?
Owner-builder flag on

1. Pick your angle

Best for: Builders, trade crews, lumber suppliers and rental shops.

The record has an owner-builder flag and no contractor name. That is a reason to ask who is running the job—not proof they still need help.

2. Find the right person

A business is listed as the owner. Check Sunbiz, then try Apollo for a work phone or email. Confirm who handles bids.

3. Make the call

“Hi, I saw a permit for your new home project. Who is handling the build? We can price our part of the work. Are you taking bids?”

4. Turn the call into a quote

Ask which trades are booked and when the next work starts. If they need your trade, get the plans and send a quote. Follow up on the date you agree on.

Real permit · Miami-Dade County

A pool job. A yard job could be next.

Work listed
New pool, spa and deck
Issued
Oct 24, 2026
Permit value
About $45,000
Who’s on the job?
Contractor listed

1. Pick your angle

Best for: Landscapers, fence crews and yard clean-up teams.

The scope includes a pool and deck. Yard work may come next. Ask about the plan; the permit does not say the yard work is open.

2. Find the right person

An individual owns the property. Try a BatchData skip trace for an owner phone or email. Check that the person you reach is the right owner.

3. Make the call

“Hi, I saw your pool and deck permit. Have you lined up someone to put the yard back together? We do that work. Would a quote help?”

4. Turn the call into a quote

Ask when the pool crew expects to finish. If yard work is needed, book a visit, measure the job and send a clear price.

Real permit · Miami-Dade County

A warehouse roof. Sell to the crew.

Work listed
Roof change from BUR to TPO
Issued
Oct 24, 2026
Permit value
About $55,000
Who’s on the job?
Contractor listed

1. Pick your angle

Best for: Roof suppliers, equipment rental shops and roof trade crews.

A roofer is already listed. Do not pitch as if nobody has the job. Ask if the crew needs supplies, gear or extra hands.

2. Find the right person

Check the contractor’s Florida license. Use Sunbiz for company details and Apollo to look for the person who buys supplies or hires crews.

3. Make the call

“Hi, I saw the warehouse TPO roof permit. Who handles supplies for that job? We can quote materials or rental gear. Is anything still needed?”

4. Turn the call into a quote

Ask for the specs and delivery date. Quote only what they need. Confirm the order or crew slot before counting it as a sale.

Set your trade and area in My profile. Your fit rating helps you pick a lead. Then tap “Write my pitch” for words based on your trade, fit reasons and likely job phase. Ask about timing—the permit alone cannot tell you how far the work has gone.

These are sample scripts and possible next steps, not calls made or jobs won. No contact match was checked for these examples. BatchData and Apollo use 1 credit when a phone or email comes back; a match does not prove it is current or that you can market to it. Check the person and follow call, email and door-to-door rules.

4 ways to turn a lead into a job

Call with a script

Calls win the most jobs. Use the AI pitch as your script.

“Hi, this is Mike with Sunshine Roofing. I saw your roof permit on 4th Street went through. Nice! Who’s putting the roof on for you?”

Send a short email

No phone? Email works. Keep it to 3 lines.

“Saw your new pool permit. We do pavers and yards once the pool is in. Want a free quote this week?”

Reach out to the GC

The GC hires the subs. Get on their list early.

“I see you’re framing on Coral Way. When is rough-in? I can have a plumbing price to you by Friday.”

Knock the block

Open Hot spots. Go where the work already is.

“We’re working on your neighbor’s place. While we’re here, want us to look at yours?”

What you get, and who it helps

The permit

Address, owner name, what they’re building and about how much it costs.

Best for: Everyone. This is where you start.

Owner-builder flag

No contractor on the permit. The owner is running the job alone.

Best for: GCs, roofers, pool guys, anyone who can take work off their plate.

Job phase

Tells you if the job is at the slab, the frame, the rough-in or the finish.

Best for: Subs who want to be next in line.

Sunbiz record

If an LLC owns it, see the real people who run that company.

Best for: Commercial trades and suppliers.

Contractor license

Look up the GC’s Florida license to see who you’re dealing with.

Best for: Subs and suppliers selling to GCs.

Hot spots

Streets where 3 or more permits popped up close together.

Best for: Door knockers, landscapers, pressure washers, solar.

How each trade uses it

Roofer

Sees a re-roof permit with no contractor. Owner-builder flag is on. Calls the owner the same morning and offers to handle it.

Plumber / HVAC

Sees a new home at the framing phase. Rough-in is next. Calls the GC to get on the bid list before it fills up.

Pool & landscaping

Sees a new pool permit. Knows the yard is torn up. Sends a quick email: “Want the yard done when the pool is?”

Electrician

Sees a panel upgrade and a generator permit. Pulls the owner’s phone and offers a fair quote fast.

Windows & doors

Sees 4 impact window permits on one street. Drops door hangers on every house on the block.

Supplier / rental

Sees owner-builders with big jobs. Calls to offer dumpsters, lumber or a lift. They need it, and nobody’s calling them.
