πŸ—οΈ Radar for General Contractors

See Every Permit Breaking Ground. Not Just One ZIP.

A roofer or an HVAC pro works one system with one replacement clock. A general contractor needs the whole market: every new build, addition, and remodel breaking ground, who else is bidding it, and which neighborhoods are aging into remodel range. That is what Radar reads from the public permit record.

No contract. Cancel anytime.

A Market Dashboard Built for How GCs Actually Work

Subcontractor trades can target one aging system. A general contractor needs to see the whole board: what is breaking ground, who else is bidding, and where the next wave of remodel demand is forming.

πŸ—οΈ

Every permit breaking ground

New construction, additions, and remodels across your whole market, not filtered down to a single ZIP, so you see where the work actually is before you bid on it.

πŸ“ˆ

Competitor GC volume

Which general contractors are pulling the most master permits this quarter, and where. Know who you are actually up against before you price a job.

🏚️

Aging-stock remodel targets

Neighborhoods where the housing stock is old and the permit record shows no major work since original construction, the clearest signal for a remodel push.

πŸ”

Full permit search

Every permit in your market, searchable by trade, address, or contractor, drawn from the most complete permit database in Florida.

πŸ›‘οΈ

License & insurance watch

See when a competing GC’s license lapses or workers-comp coverage drops, straight from the public record.

πŸŒ€

Storm-surge alerts

Post-storm permit demand spikes by trade and by area, so you know where rebuild and repair work is moving before it is common knowledge.

Why a GC Needs the Market, Not a List

Radar + roofing intelligence works because a roof has one clock: install date plus roughly fifteen years, and you know it is due. General construction does not sit still like that. A kitchen remodel, a room addition, and a new spec build are three different jobs with three different timelines, and none of them are on a fixed replacement schedule.

So the GC version of this product leads with the market view: every permit breaking ground across your whole area, which competitors are pulling the most volume, and which neighborhoods have gone the longest without a major permit, the closest thing general construction has to an aging-out signal. If you also want an exclusive territory to work directly, that is available too, further down this page.

What an Aging-Stock Target Looks Like

A property that has never pulled a major permit since it was built is a property that is statistically overdue for one. This is the GC equivalent of a roof past its useful life.

GC Job Values Don't Fit One Number

A roofing lead and an HVAC lead both point at a job with a fairly tight price range. General contracting spans project types with wildly different economics, so the honest way to talk about it is by project type, not one blended average.

Kitchen or bath remodel$25,000 – $75,000
Room addition$50,000 – $150,000
Whole-home renovation$75,000 – $250,000
New spec-home construction$250,000+

Ranges are directional estimates, not quotes, and vary by market, scope, and materials. The point isn't the exact number, it's that a single blended average would hide more than it tells you.

Radar, or Radar + an Exclusive ZIP

Both read the same permit record. One shows you the market. The other locks you a piece of it.

If You're Comparing Against Shared Construction Leads

Publicly reported ranges put a shared construction or remodel lead at $150 to $300, resold to several GCs at once. At a roughly 8% close rate on a crowded remodel lead, that works out to $2,200 to $3,500 in lead spend for every job you actually win.

Cost per won job: shared leads vs Radar +Shared remodel leads run an estimated $2,200 to $3,500 in lead spend per job actually won, based on a roughly 8 percent close rate on $200 leads. Radar + is a flat $249 a month with no per-lead billing.$2,200–$3,500Shared leadsPer job won$249/moRadar +Flat, any jobs won

Questions, Answered

How do general contractors get leads without paying per lead?

Most GC lead marketplaces sell the same remodel or new-build request to several contractors at once, similar to the shared-lead model for other trades. Radar works differently: it is a flat $99/mo permit dashboard covering your whole market, not a per-lead purchase. Radar + adds an optional exclusive ZIP where inbound homeowner requests in your claimed trade route to you alone.

Is Radar the same as Angi or Thumbtack for general contractors?

No. Angi and Thumbtack resell the same homeowner form to multiple contractors at once. Radar is a market-intelligence dashboard built from public permit records: every permit breaking ground in your area, competitor GC volume, and neighborhoods where the housing stock is aging into remodel range. There is no shared form to bid against.

What is construction lead intelligence?

It is reading the public permit record to see where construction activity is actually happening, new builds, additions, and remodels, instead of waiting on inbound construction leads from a shared marketplace. Radar shows every permit in your market; Radar + adds an exclusive ZIP if you want a territory to work directly.

Do inbound homeowner requests route to me as a general contractor?

Yes, if you hold a Radar + exclusive ZIP. A homeowner request for a remodel, addition, or new build in your claimed ZIP and trade routes to you alone, at no extra charge, the same way it works for roofing, HVAC, and plumbing territory owners. We do not promise a volume of requests; they come when they come. What we promise is exclusivity when one does.

How is a GC territory different from a roofing or HVAC territory?

A roof or an AC unit ages on a predictable clock, so those territories center on a replacement-due address list. General construction does not work that way; job types and timelines vary too much for a single aging signal. A GC Radar + territory centers instead on the addresses where the housing stock has gone the longest without a major permit, the closest equivalent signal for where remodel demand is building.

How much does market intelligence cost for a general contractor?

Radar is $99/mo (regularly $149/mo), covering the full market dashboard with no exclusive territory. Radar + starts at $249/mo for an exclusive ZIP with homeowner-lead routing and an execution kit. Both are month to month, no contract.

No Contract. Cancel Whenever.

Radar and Radar + are both month to month. No 12-month agreement, no early termination fee. An annual prepay is available for a discount if you want it, never required.
