Shovels links residents and homeowners to our property and permit data. Get validated contacts for addresses where work is happening.
Shovels is SOC 2® Type II certified
Shovels meets enterprise security and compliance requirements. Our SOC 2 Type II certification reflects controls independently audited over a sustained period, not just a point-in-time snapshot.
Every resident record starts with a property in our permit dataset, linked by a persistent address ID.
Names, workplaces, addresses, and contact details are connected across independent data signals.
A data point makes the record only when three or more signals agree.
Contacts carry validation status and last-seen dates, so you know what's current.
01
Permits tell you where work is happening, and resident data tells you who to talk to about it.
02
Household attributes help you prioritize the addresses that are valuable to your business.
03
Pass any address into the residents endpoint and see the people associated with it.
Explore, filter, and export permit, contractor, and decision data in our self-serve web app.
Build construction intelligence into your product, CRM, or internal tools with our REST API.
Get the full dataset as parquet files or table shares in Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery.
We source data from thousands of jurisdictions online and offline through public records. New jurisdictions are added continuously based on market trends & customer demand, with coverage spanning all major metros and expanding rural markets.
Every resident is tied to a property, so you see the full picture — the permits, the contractors, and the work happening at each address.
Decisions
Resident data identifies the people living at a property: names, validated contact details, homeowner status, and household attributes like age range, income range, and net worth. Shovels ties each resident to a property in our permit dataset.
We assemble resident records from multiple independent data sources, linking names, workplaces, addresses, and contact details. A data point is included only when three or more signals agree, and every contact carries a validation status and last-seen date.
Yes. Every resident record includes a homeowner flag, so you can filter for owners when your product or service is for the person who makes decisions about the home.
Contacts (phone, personal and business email, LinkedIn), homeowner status, household attributes like age range, income range, net worth, marital status, and children, plus job title, seniority, and employer details. Full list in the data dictionary.
Three ways: search and export in Shovels Online, integrate the Shovels API (pass any address from a permit into the residents endpoint), or license the full dataset via Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery.
