New-Construction Concrete & Foundation Leads
Foundations, slabs, and hardscape, at the start of the build.
Concrete crews are the very first trade after site prep. Your win rate depends on knowing about builds while they're still in permit-pulled, pre-mobilization state. PermitFocus surfaces residential new-construction permits within days of issuance.

How concrete contractors use PermitFocus
Three-step workflow most operators run weekly:
- Watchlist counties and builders in your operating radius. Most concrete contractors work within 45 minutes of their plant.
- Filter the dashboard to permits issued in the last 30 days.
- Get alerted when a builder enters a new market or crosses a volume threshold.
What concrete contractors get
Be first to the foundation bid
The earlier you're known to a builder, the better the bid terms. Permit issuance data gives you the earliest possible lead time.
Bid by phase
Builders running 50 or more permits a year typically split foundation work across two or three contractors by region. Find the active ones.
Plant-location modeling
Where should the next plant go? Drop pins, run drive-time catchments, compare permit density inside each, exactly what cement haul-distance economics demands.
Track competitive activity
Watchlist local competitors. If they're picking up volume in a specific subdivision, you'll see it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find new-construction concrete jobs before my competitors?
Every new home starts with a building permit, a public record filed weeks before ground breaks. PermitFocus collects those permits, identifies the builder behind each one, and shows you the most active builders in your service area, refreshed weekly, so you can reach out before the job is spoken for.
Are the permit leads exclusive to me?
Building permits are public records, so they aren't exclusive. PermitFocus's edge is speed and completeness: you see issuance within days, get the builder's ranked activity and contact path, and reach them earlier than a competitor relying on a six-month-old purchased list.
Which areas does PermitFocus cover for concrete contractors?
Every US county is covered at the market level, with per-permit builder detail in a growing set of markets. Florida markets like Hillsborough (Tampa), Broward, and Miami-Dade have deep builder-level data today, and more markets are added continuously.
How current is the permit data?
Permit data is refreshed regularly from authoritative public sources, so you typically see a new permit within days to about a week of issuance, not the three-plus months it takes for a build to become visible from the road.
How much does PermitFocus cost?
PermitFocus is $129.99/mo, cancel anytime. That replaces enterprise construction-data platforms that charge $15,000 to $30,000 per year.
