What is a building permit lead?
A building permit is filed with the city when a homeowner or business plans construction work — a new roof, HVAC installation, solar panels, or renovations. These permits are public record and represent potential customers who need your services.
Portafor monitors the Chicago permit data feed and alerts you the moment a new permit matching your service type is filed in your territory.
