We have spent years on the physical layer of commercial construction: pulling and certifying Cat6A and fiber, racking compute, terminating other people’s low-voltage scopes. In that work you learn where jobs actually come from. They do not come from a lead-vendor list bought three states away. They come from permits, bid sheets, and plan checks — public records that most subcontractors never read because reading 200 municipal portals weekly is a full-time job.
TradeLeads Intel is that full-time job, automated. We compile every relevant filing for your trade and metro, classify it, verify it against the issuing jurisdiction's record, score it, and render a per-trade, per-metro PDF brief. A Denver electrical subscriber and a Philadelphia HVAC subscriber receive different documents built from different records.
What is in a weekly brief
- New commercial permit filings in your trade and metro, with scope description, location, and estimated valuation where the jurisdiction publishes it.
- The people already named on the project — general contractor estimating departments, project managers, permit applicants. Public record, compiled and deduplicated so you are not retyping it.
- Bid packages and RFPs where the source publishes them, with deadlines.
- Scope breakdowns classified into trade families: electrical, low voltage, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, glazing, millwork, roofing, masonry, and seven more.
Coverage and limits, stated plainly
Coverage is 56 US metros across 15 specialized trades, and it is not uniform. Record depth varies by jurisdiction; we label coverage per metro on the site rather than pretending every county is a first-class feed. Valuations appear only where the filing itself publishes them, and every record is verified before delivery.

Why an infrastructure contractor runs this
The same reasoning behind our private AI work: the systems that route information decide who wins work. Lead aggregators sell the same recycled lists to every bidder in a metro and optimize for their margin, not yours. TradeLeads is a small, deliberately capped product built on records that already belong to the public — compiled with the same documentation discipline we bring to a certification packet at closeout.
