New jobs and new homeowners in your area, every week, before your competition.
A permit gets pulled, or a house changes hands. Either way, there's a new customer near you who hasn't shopped for anyone yet. Buildvane watches both signals, ranks the few worth your week, and names who to reach first.
Skip the raw data dump. Start with the short list that's actually worth a call — ranked, each with the reason it made the cut and who to reach first. You chase real demand, not noise.
No card, no commitment. The sample is real data for your trade and metro — proof before you pay.
A spreadsheet, and good luck.
Three hundred rows, no order, no context. You burn the week sorting noise from signal — and by the time you find the job worth calling, it's already been shopped.
The short list — before it's shopped.
The specific job sites to act on, in order, with the reason each made the cut and the builder to call — the week the permit posts, before he's fielded a single bid. You work the top slice, not the whole dump.
Two moments create demand nobody has shopped yet.
Buildvane watches both and hands you the ranked shortlist for your trade — you don't watch anything.
Someone's about to build.
A construction or demolition permit hits the public record, and a builder now needs site services, equipment, and trades — before they've shopped for anyone. This is the supply side of the job: work is starting. Delivered as a fresh ranked list every week.
Best for: equipment & dumpster rental, porta-potty, pool & privacy fencing, foundation, roofing, solar, irrigation, and trades chasing a new GC.
Someone just moved in.
A house changes hands on the county deed record, and the new owner needs recurring home services with no provider chosen yet. This is the demand side: a build finished and sold. It's a periodic prospecting list — refreshed each time the county posts (roughly quarterly), delivered as direct-mail-ready addresses, not a weekly feed.
Best for: lawn care, pest control, cleaning/maid, window & power washing, gutters, HVAC service, pool service, and tree service. Live in Nashville today — other metros on request.
Fewer calls. Better odds. First in line.
You get the demand that matters this week — ordered — not a raw feed to filter yourself.
The top slice, in order
You get the leads that matter this week, ranked top to bottom — not hundreds of rows to sort yourself. Work the list, stop when your week is full.
Before it's shopped
Each one surfaces as soon as it's on the public record, with a timing read — so you reach them before they've shopped, not after three other firms have quoted.
Why this one, for you
The same lead isn't worth the same to everyone. Buildvane tells you why this one matters for your trade — what's needed first, and who actually decides early.
Two kinds of demand. Find where your trade fits.
Some trades sell to a fresh permit. Others sell to a fresh move-in. Pick your side — we watch the record and hand you the ranked shortlist.
New permit → site services & trades
Weekly · Austin + NashvilleA stranger's new permit is an un-shopped need. The builder needs machines, a dumpster, a fence, a foundation, a roof — and hasn't called anyone.
New homeowner → recurring home services
Nashville live Quarterly list · more metros on requestA new owner needs recurring service and hasn't picked a provider. Delivered as a direct-mail-ready list, refreshed when the county posts — live in Nashville today; other metros are on request, never implied as live.
Permit volumes are directional — what we watch each week, not a delivery promise, and they vary. The new-homeowner list is a periodic (roughly quarterly) prospecting list, not a weekly feed.
Three steps. You get the decision, not the homework.
Tell us your trade
Your trade and metro. That's the whole setup — we tune the read to the permits and move-ins you sell into.
We rank the demand
We read every new permit the week it posts and every new home sale the county records, verify the address and the firm or owner, then rank what's worth your time by timing and fit — and show why each one made the cut.
You reach first
A ranked shortlist lands in your inbox: who to act on, in order, with a timing read and who to reach first — so you get there before it's shopped.

Pick a market and trade. We'll show the weekly volume we sort through and the kind of shortlist you'd receive — no sales call, no form first. This sampler is the permit feed; the new-homeowner list is shown below.
| Ranked job site | Builder | Type | Permit posted |
|---|
| New owner at | Home | Sold | Why now |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 Keeley Dr, 37xxx | 4 bd · built 2024 | Mar | Bare yard · no lawn/pest yet |
| #2 Silverwood Trl, Hermitage | 4 bd · built 2024 | Mar | New build · first-service window |
| #3 Evansdale Dr, 37xxx | 5 bd · built 2024 | Mar | Premium lot · pool/tree/outdoor |
| #4 Callie Ln, Brentwood | 6 bd · built 2024 | Mar | Large lot · recurring maintenance |
| #5 Graybar Ln, 37xxx | 5 bd · built 2025 | Feb | High-value move-in · cleaning/pool |
You're first because you see it first. And the ranking hides nothing.
Buildvane reads every new permit the week it posts and every new home sale the county records — but there's no black box and no "AI magic" in the score. When it ranks a lead, we show you why — the signals, the stage, the timing behind it. You're not asked to take our word; you're shown the work. An un-verifiable ranking is just a guess with confidence. Ours you can check.
And where a signal is still early or uncertain, we say so. We'd rather flag a maybe than sell you a sure thing that isn't.
How real it is
Applied → issued. A permit that's been issued outranks one that's only been applied for — because it's closer to the shovel.
Weeks vs. quarters
Permit type and build size point to a typical time to break ground, so you reach the site at the right moment — not months early, not too late.
Your trade, this build
Repeat builder or one-off, and when your trade is typically needed for this build type — so the top of the list is worth your call, specifically.
The questions buyers actually ask
What are the two signals Buildvane watches?
Two public-record moments create local demand nobody has shopped yet. A new permit — someone pulls a construction or demolition permit and now needs site services, equipment, and trades. A new homeowner — a house changes hands and the new owner needs recurring home services with no provider chosen yet. One product, two demand signals. The permit feed is weekly and live in Austin and Nashville; the new-homeowner list is live in Nashville only and refreshes when the county posts, roughly quarterly.
What makes this different from a permit list or data dump?
A raw list hands you hundreds of rows and wishes you luck. Buildvane hands you the decision — the specific new demand worth acting on, ranked by timing and fit for your trade, with who to reach first and the reason each one made the cut. You work the top slice, not the whole dump — and every ranking shows its work, so you can check it rather than take our word.
Is the new-homeowner list available in my market?
Today it's live in Nashville, TN only, built from Davidson County deed and sale records. It's a periodic prospecting list refreshed roughly quarterly when the county posts, delivered as direct-mail-ready addresses — not phone or email, and not a weekly signal. Other metros aren't live yet; tell us your market and we'll say honestly where it stands. We'll never claim home-service coverage in a market we haven't loaded.
Do you contact people for me?
No. Buildvane finds and ranks the demand and names who to reach first — so you get there before it's shopped — but you make the calls or send the mail. It does not auto-send email, cold-call, or book meetings on your behalf, and you're responsible for contacting people compliantly.
Is it legal to use?
Yes. Permit filings and county deed and sale records are public record, so the intelligence is legal to use. The value isn't the raw record — it's the reading, verifying, and ranking that turns thousands of records into the short list worth your week. What's regulated is how you contact people — so Buildvane's terms require you to follow TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and applicable state rules: manual contact, honor opt-outs and Do-Not-Call, no autodialing or mass texting. Responsible outreach is the buyer's responsibility.
What's in each ranked item?
For a permit: a verified job site — address, type, and permit date — the firm building it, a timing read, and the reason it's ranked where it is. In Austin most projects also carry a direct phone; in Nashville you get the building firm. For a new homeowner: the property address, home details and sale date, and why it fits your service, as a direct-mail-ready record. Contact depth by market is published openly on the coverage page.
Are these hot, opted-in leads?
No — and we won't pretend they are. They're ranked, early-signal records from the public record — a verified permit or a recent home sale — ranked for timing and fit. Priced as intelligence, not as pay-per-appointment lead-bait.
How much does it cost?
Plans scale by scope, not features. Solo $149/mo — one trade, one metro, shared. Operator $299–$399/mo — the established local firm. Bundle $449–$599/mo — multiple verticals or both signals in one metro. Whole-metro Exclusive from $899/mo — sole rights in your market. A real 10-row sample for your own trade and metro is free first, so you can judge the quality. See full pricing →

Straight about what this does.
Buildvane gives you foresight — the demand worth your week, ranked, with who to reach first and why, before it's been shopped.

A free sample lets you judge it on your own trade and metro before you pay.
