The public records that predict work here.

  • Building permit applications & issuances. Tracked from the moment they post to Elk Grove's permit portal, including plan-check-stage applications that never make a bid board.
  • Planning & entitlement activity. Use permits, design review, rezones, and site plan approvals from public agendas — often a year ahead of construction.
  • CEQA environmental filings. Notices of Preparation, Negative Declarations, and Notices of Determination covering Sacramento County — high-commitment signals with names attached.
  • Affordable-housing awards (LIHTC/CTCAC). Tax-credit projects with regulatory deadlines that force a construction start.
  • License activity. Liquor licenses and other operational permits that telegraph tenant-improvement work — seeour guide to reading license signals.

Every signal is timestamped, deduplicated, scored for your trade, and connected to the real decision-makers behind it — even when the applicant is a shell LLC.See how it works →
