Hear about Austin job sites within a day of the permit, not after your competitor's truck is already there.

SiteSignal reads the City of Austin and City of San Marcos permit records every morning, and gives site-service providers a short, curated list of the projects that actually need them: address, scope, valuation, and the contractor's name and phone number where the record states it.

How it works

The jobs are in the permits. Reading them is the tedious part.

Every commercial project in Austin needs temp fencing, portable toilets, dumpsters, and security. The buying signal is public record, published at permit issuance. The problem: hundreds of permits a week, and most are water heaters, window swaps, and solar panels. SiteSignal does the mining so you don't have to.

1

Permits, daily

Every issued construction permit in the two metro records we cover, City of Austin and City of San Marcos, pulled from their public data every morning: valuation, scope, status, location, and contractor details where the record carries them.

2

Qualified by AI, watched by a person

Deterministic rules handle dates, territory and duplicates. A model then reads each permit and writes the one-line scope and the "why this fits you" note. A person does not sign off every record: they pick what goes in your sample by hand, sample the day's output, and look at whatever the run flags. That is exception-based oversight, not per-record approval.

3

Your daily feed

Qualified opportunities in your service area, appearing the morning they're permitted rather than batched for a weekly send: address, scope, valuation, stage, contractor name & phone where the record states it, and a plain-English "why this fits you." We aim for 5–15 a week; what actually arrives depends on what gets permitted near you. Mobile portal and Excel export.

Who it's for

Built for the trades that show up first

One feed, filtered to your service and your part of the Austin metro.

🚧Temporary fencing

Every new commercial and multifamily permit means a perimeter that needs securing before ground breaks. Get there while the site is still dirt.

🚻Portable sanitation

Units go in day one and stay for the whole build. New permits flagged the day they're issued means recurring rental revenue you'd otherwise never hear about.

🗑️Roll-off dumpsters

Demolition and construction permits are a distinct, strong signal: debris is coming. Know which sites will need cans before the first call goes out.

📹Site security

High-valuation projects with long build timelines need cameras and patrols from the first week. We flag the sites worth protecting.

Pricing

About us

What we do, and what we don't

SiteSignal is a small shop by design. The pipeline reads every Austin permit so nobody has to, and a model writes the scope line and the fit note on each record. We do not hand-check every row, and we won't pretend otherwise: a person picks the records in your sample, samples the day's output, and works the exceptions the run raises.

We're building this alongside a founding group of Austin operators, and their feedback decides what the product becomes. When you email us, a decision-maker answers, not a ticket queue.

The free sample isn't a gimmick. It's real, recent Austin projects in your service area, fully open: address, scope, valuation, permit, and the contractor's name and phone where the record has one. Nothing is held back for a subscription. If the sample doesn't look like money, don't subscribe.

FAQ

Common questions

Can't I just read the permits myself?

Absolutely. They're public. Most owners don't, because it means scanning hundreds of rows a week to find the handful that matter, then looking up each contractor. SiteSignal costs less than the hours it replaces.

How is this different from a raw permit-data subscription?

A permit-data subscription sells you the regional record; you still do the filtering, the qualification and the contact lookup. SiteSignal ships a short list for your specific service and service area, with an AI-written scope line and a "why this fits you" note on each record, updated daily. We haven't benchmarked anyone else's product and don't quote their prices here.

What exactly is in the free sample?

Real, recent Austin opportunities in your service area, each one fully open: address, scope, valuation, permit number, and the contractor's name and phone where the permit record states it. There's no fixed count and nothing is masked or teased. We send the records worth a call, so if only three qualify you get three. No credit card, no trial infrastructure. If it's not useful, that's the end of it.

Do you check every record by hand?

No. Deterministic rules handle dates, territory and duplicates; a model reads the permit and writes the scope line and the fit note; a person picks your sample, samples the day's output, and works whatever the run flags. That is exception-based oversight. It's honest about the failure mode too: a readable summary can still be wrong, which is why every record carries the permit's own wording behind it and why you can tell us when one misses.

Which parts of the metro do you cover?

The Austin metro, built from two public permit records: the City of Austin's daily issued-permit dataset and the City of San Marcos's. That is the coverage today, and it is not every jurisdiction in the metro. More metros are under evaluation.
