Public data, properly filtered
Every application on BuildLeads is a public planning record published by your local council. We do the boring sorting work so you don't have to.
Built for sole traders
Existing services charge €100–€400/month and target large contractors. BuildLeads is €29/month and built for the people picking up the tools.
Ireland-wide, weekly
All 31 councils. Pick the ones that matter to you. One email every Monday before 9am. No noise, no irrelevant projects.
What tradespeople are saying
I was spending two hours every Monday trawling council websites. Now it's in my inbox before I finish my coffee. Picked up three extension jobs in the first month.
The planning data is gold for solar installers. Every homeowner doing an extension is a warm lead for PV. BuildLeads pays for itself with one job.
As a two-person structural practice, we can't afford CIS or BCI. BuildLeads gives us the same planning data filtered to our trade for a fraction of the price.
We've gone from chasing work to choosing work. The weekly digest shows us every kitchen job in our county before anyone else sees it.
FAQ
- Where does the data come from?
- All 31 Irish local authorities publish a Weekly Planning List under statutory requirement. BuildLeads fetches those lists every Monday morning. Nothing on BuildLeads is private data.
- How is this different from CIS or BCI?
- Those services are excellent if you're a main contractor on a €5m project. They're overkill for a sole trader or small practice. BuildLeads does Ireland-wide planning data, one trade-relevant filter, one weekly email — and you pick the councils you care about.
- Can I see a sample?
- Yes — click "Request Free Sample" above, or email hello@buildleads.ie with your trade. We'll send last week's full digest free.
- Which councils are covered?
- All 31 Irish local authorities, from Carlow to Wicklow. Sign in to your dashboard and tick the councils you want to receive leads from — single county, regional cluster, or nationwide.
