What changes
What this looks like in practice
One watchlist for the counties you actually bid, instead of five county portals.
Jobs grouped by stage — dirt work, framing, rough-in — so the right trade calls at the right week.
The permit trail on hand when you call, so the first conversation isn't a cold one.
