Building permit and contractor data where you need it

Shovels can push the full nationwide history of building permit and contractor records directly into your Snowflake, Big Query, or Databricks accounts. We can also provide parquet files.

To get permit data into your Big Query account, we just need a Google service account. The tables will arrive pre-formatted and ready to query.

Parquet format

We know that dealing with CSV files is a massive headache, especially with complex data and confusing serializations. That's why we like parquet and prefer to send building contractor and permit data in this format.
