The practical answer
A public building permit can give a provider a starting point for researching the kind of work recorded by the City and deciding whether the timing and scope warrant further business development. The record should be treated as context to investigate, not evidence that a homeowner has asked for outreach.
What to look for
Use the published record to organize your own research and planning.
- The published work description and permit type.
- Whether the work stage is likely to relate to the provider’s service.
- Whether the location fits the provider’s real coverage area.
- Whether the provider has a responsible, lawful next step for business development.
Use the source carefully
City records can change and may not answer every field question. Confirm project details through the source and use your own professional judgment. Trade Radar’s private workspace is designed to help organize that research, not to create a public lead database.
