We’re making construction data accessible

When you can see what's getting built and who's building it, the world opens up. We're fascinated by real-world data, the records that describe the world around us. We've come a long way since we started in 2022 and we still have a long way to go.

We hope you'll join us for the ride.

Our mission

We started with a simple mission: make building permit data accessible to everyone. That mission has grown to include building contractors, geospatial data, and property attributes.

Fundamentally, we believe in making complex data accessible and ready for analysis. We want to delight data scientists and account executives alike. This is a massive market and we're just getting started.

Building permits added monthly
5+ million
Contractors tracked
3 million
Properties with permit history
30+ million
