Which public records predict concrete work?

ADU permits, Encroachment permits, Grading permits, Pool permits, SWPPP notices of intent. Deal Radar monitors each of these, scores it for CSLB C-8, and times the alert to when the work is actually bought rather than when the record was filed.

Does Deal Radar contact homeowners on my behalf?

No. Deal Radar never contacts a consumer on any channel. It alerts you and drafts the artifact you send yourself, and where the audience is a property owner the draft is a letter or postcard addressed to the property. Deal Radar does not hold owner names today.

Concrete Leads From Public Records · 5 Signals Tracked

The short answer

What fires an alert for concrete.

Deal Radar tracks 5 triggers for CSLB C-8. Each one names a public record, the point in that record's lifecycle where it becomes meaningful, how long after that point the work is actually bought, and who you would be contacting. The lead time is the part that matters: the same record is a different opportunity, on a different day, for a different trade.

Public recordWhen it firesWho you contact

ADU permitsAccessory dwelling unit permits: a second unit going up on an existing lot.the moment it is issuedThe general contractorThe GC attached to a commercial filing, for when you are pitching to sub.

Encroachment permitsWork in the public right of way, issued by the agency that owns the street.the moment it is issuedThe company on the filingThe licensee, applicant, or operator named on a public record.

Grading permitsEarth being moved on a site, normally the first physical sign a project is real.about 4 weeks after it is issuedThe general contractorThe GC attached to a commercial filing, for when you are pitching to sub.

Pool permitsA permit pulled to build a swimming pool, naming the pool contractor and the address.about 3 weeks after it is issuedThe contractor on the permitThe licensed contractor named on the record, resolved through the CSLB registry. Business to business, and their contact details are already public.

SWPPP notices of intentA stormwater filing required before ground disturbance over one acre.about 6 weeks after it is filedThe general contractorThe GC attached to a commercial filing, for when you are pitching to sub.

The limits

What a permit does not tell you.

A record is a signal, not a sale. A filed permit means someone intends to do work. It does not tell you the package is unbought, that the budget survived, or that the schedule held. Deal Radar times alerts to when a trade is normally bought, which is a much better guess than the filing date, but it is still a guess about a live project.
Coverage is what we have ingested, not everything that exists. Every count on this site describes records Deal Radar has actually stored. Some agencies publish late, some publish badly, and some do not publish at all.
Nothing is sent automatically. Deal Radar drafts. A person on your team reviews and sends. That is a design decision, not a setting.
We do not contact consumers. Where the audience is a property owner, what Deal Radar resolves is a mailing address, so the artifact is an addressed letter, postcard or door hanger. No consumer calls, no consumer texts, on any plan.
