The engine under the bonnet

Public data, made useful.

Everything we deliver comes from official public sources. Our job is turning scattered, ugly records into leads you can act on.

From register to your inbox

Four steps, every day.

We watch the registers

Council planning registers are checked daily for new applications — 25 councils live so far; the state's building permit records (123,461 permits, all 82 councils) are added each quarter as the State releases them. New councils are added every week — and where a council asks automated tools to stay out, we respect that and work with them instead.

AI cleans and tags each project

Each record is classified: what's being built, what it's worth, and which trades the job will need — from excavation at the start to blinds and landscaping at the end.

Matched to your patch

You told us your councils and your trade. We filter everything else out. A roofer in Casey never sees a signage job in Mildura.

Delivered when it matters

Planning applications give you a 6–12 month head start. Permits show approved, funded work — every council, with a dollar value on each. Your digest lands weekly — or daily if you want the edge.

How fresh is the data?

Two sources, two speeds — and we don't pretend otherwise.

Planning applications come straight from council registers and are updated daily — you see them within a day of lodgement, 6–12 months before work starts.

Building permitsare official State records (Building & Plumbing Commission, via DataVic), released in quarterly batches about 10 weeks after each period closes. The current set covers permits up to 31 Mar 2026.

Permits aren't real-time — and that's the point. They're approved, funded work with a real dollar value, across every Victorian council. Perfect for finishing trades, where the job starts months after the permit is issued.
