For contractors & subs
Call while it's still being priced
A permit is filed weeks before trades get awarded. TarSignal turns every filing across North Carolina into a list you can work before the job reaches a bid board.

Call the builder before the other subs do1:19
The building permit comes weeks before the first trade permit. Here's how to be the sub who called first.
Know where the work is heading1:22
The ZIPs pulling ahead, the builders speeding up, and how many new homes are coming in your counties.
What you'd use
Project Alerts
Your areas and trades, filed since yesterday, in your inbox each morning — with the contractor's name and phone number and a CSV you can drop straight into a CRM.
Permit Map
See what's going up around a job you're already on, or scan a county you're thinking of expanding into before you commit a crew to it.
Permit Search
Every permit filed in the last three years, searchable by address, contractor and type.
Permit Pulse
Check whether the metro you're bidding in is actually growing before you chase it — and which trades are carrying the dollar value there.
What it costs
One paid plan with every product in it — the same plan whichever side of the job you're on.

- The 5 metros: Charlotte, the Triangle, the Triad, Wilmington and Asheville. Material Leads needs each job's permits filed stage by stage, which Raleigh, Wilmington and Asheville have today.
- Search limits reset at midnight Eastern. Reach yours and searching pauses until then; you're never charged for more.
- Every permit comes from the municipal record, not a scraped listing site or an aggregator's resale feed.
- Contractor names and phone numbers where the permitting office publishes them — which is most of Raleigh and Wake County, less of the coast.
- Filter down to the areas, trades and permit types you actually bid, or leave it on everything.
- The free weekly list costs nothing and needs no card, so you can see your own area's data before deciding anything.
