We work with the leading parcel, property, and audience companies that power the built world.
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.
A permit is the earliest signal that something is about to change at an address. The signal gets more valuable when connected to parcel and property records, maps, and the people associated with it.
GEOSPATIAL
As an Esri Startup Program partner, Shovels makes its data available through ArcGIS Feature Layers and maps in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. In just a few clicks, ArcGIS users can map nationwide permit activity across new construction, remodeling, electrical work, roofing, and more.
LOCATION AND PROPERTY DATA
As a leading Precisely Data Link partner, Shovels has pre-linked more than 150 million address-resolved permits to Precisely’s location, property, demographic, boundary, and risk data. Teams can bypass address matching, reconciliation, and ongoing maintenance and move directly to scoring leads and modeling risk.
PARCEL DATA
Regrid is a leading provider of nationwide parcel data. Every Shovels permit record is geospatially matched to a Regrid ID, so customers who already license Regrid can connect the two datasets without building the join themselves. The result is a unified view of parcel boundaries and construction activity for site selection, market analysis, and risk assessment.
Shovels data is available as a live share in all major cloud data platforms. It lands inside your own environment, so there is no egress, no pipeline to maintain, and no copy of the data going stale in a bucket somewhere.

Delivered natively through Analytics Hub, refreshed twice monthly.
Not every team wants another data vendor or integration. Our platform partnerships bring permit data directly into the tools where teams already analyze portfolios, plan projects, and activate audiences.
Always On Data turns Shovels permit signals into addressable audiences for digital activation. Brands and agencies can reach homeowners actively planning roofing, HVAC, electrical, window and door, or plumbing projects. They can also reach contractors segmented by trade. Available through LiveRamp, these audiences help marketers connect with the right households and professionals while projects are still active.
Shovels permit and contractor data is available directly within Cherre’s real estate data management and intelligence platform. Teams can analyze construction activity alongside their financial and operational data, without a separate Shovels integration or login.
Autodesk Construction Cloud users can access nationwide Shovels permit data within the tools they already use to manage construction. Teams can identify projects in development, track jurisdictional timelines, and spot opportunities earlier.
Shovels partners with Regrid for parcel data, Esri for geospatial mapping, and Precisely for location and property data. Shovels data is also available as a live share in Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, and inside platforms including Cherre, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Always On Data.
Every Shovels permit record is geospatially matched to a Regrid ID. Customers who already license Regrid can join the two datasets without building the match themselves. That gives them parcel boundaries and construction activity in one view for site selection, market analysis, and risk assessment.

If you run a platform, dataset, or marketplace that could use an early signal of construction activity, reach out through the Shovels contact page. Shovels records already include join keys for parcels and locations, which makes it easier to connect Shovels data to your product.
